            Patient 1045, or more recently, Sutaranji, meaning Strange, has become more and more unstable. I’m worried he will attack us more violently. We’ve already had 6 people leave the psych ward because of him. But I’m not leaving. I’m too determined to find out what his ramblings are about.

            I’ve figured out (out at least I think this is) that in his mind, he believes he is the hero of some sort of society and he needs to save the world from something evil. He calls himself Sepheroth.

            One of the other doctors, Sadou Mou, went inside the room and approached Sutaranji holding a Nintendo. He set it down with a controller and a copy of Super Mario Bros. 3. Sutaranji grabbed the fame and tried to place the game inside, except it was sideways and upside down. Everyone had a slight chuckle, but I was just watching. He eventually put it in right. He closed the lid on the console and grabbed the controller. He pressed the buttons looking confused at it, frowned, and threw it directly at the window, cracking it, almost breaking it.

            It was three in the mourning, everyone was gone but me. Sutaranji was in a corner rambling about them. He stood up stretched his arm up, and started moving it against the wall, as if writing something. We will prevail, it said, at least I think. I walked inside the room.

            “Sepheroth?” I said, worried he would attack.

            He turned around looked at me. I grabbed him. He was still, almost calmed by my touch. I walked him over to another room with a bed. He laid down.

            “You got him?” I looked at the security camera, talking to the guards. The camera moved down, and then up as if saying yes.

Sepheroth

           

            I was hiding behind some garbage when the Klectons came looking for insurgents. They are a strange race. They look like robots, they have large disc like heads, long, slender limbs, and a metal exoskeleton. First time I saw them, I thought they looked terrifying. Now, I’m tired of seeing them. I needed to move. They were coming down the alley. I found a bottle and threw it behind them.

            Stupid aliens, I thought. I ran away from the alley and took shelter in a secret insurgent base. They were scattered all across the city. They were marked with a sword and shield with a symbol of a lightning bolt.

            All of the insurgent bases had some food and water for everyone. They had resting areas and some games like darts and pool. They were always surrounded by garbage and broken fences to keep the sound quiet. I immediately went into the side room to rest my head. I was exhausted. I was so cold.

            The next mourning, I got up and went outside. The Klectons set up a curfew at 8:00 p.m. I went over to the market to buy a coat. It’s been exceedingly cold lately, especially at night. I got frost bit. Ow.
