As I lie in the white medical bed, the railings up, I wonder when Nurse Dolly will come in with my coffee. I'm allowed one simple request every morning. They don't even ask me anymore as it's always the same thing, coffee with milk and four sugar cubes. Nurse Dolly asks me every time why I drink this wretched liquid as its bad for my mental health, even when she gets the same answer of silence every time. I'll never tell them why I drink this stuff because if they find out that it reminds me of before, when summers were long and full of freedom, when I had no worries, when life was simpler, they'll stop bringing it to me and I wouldn't be able to remember life back then. A short story I wrote for English class.

In my nightmares I am trapped on a mental ward. I can't move my hands without feeling the restriction of the straps. My head is as clear, no trace of the "madness." I strain against the black polyester with every ounce of strength and still I can't budge. My back hurts right to the base of my spine. Saliva is pooling in the back of my mouth. The staff have gone. I am alone. My heart pounds, ready to explode; my eyes scan left and right for signs of someone coming to help. No-one. Worn green curtains hang limp on flaking chrome rings and though the gap passers by pay me no attention at all.
