I woke up in a strange place I had never seen before. There was an odd smell, as if something had just died. The room was dark and weary. The way the lights flickered gave my stomach a unsettling churn. The yellow wallpaper was slowly peeling away. At this moment I realized that my arms were tied behind my back, with what felt like rope. My naked body began to shiver against the hard, cold, floor boards. I then came to my senses that I shouldn't be here. It wasn't right. I began to scream.

Are You Awake Yet?

15 parts Complete

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.
