your recovery.”

I look down at the glass of water and couldn’t say a word.

I am sick. I am a patient. I lose my mind.

“Now we should go and let you rest.” Maryann writes something down in her notebook and goes out with Kathleen, leaving me alone in the empty and cold ward.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter10

I got out of the bed, trying to do some stretches because my body suffers from soreness after lying on the bed for too long.

Outside the window is a boundless field which is really verdant and full of energy with the sun shining brightly up in the sky. Everything just seems to be so … perfect.

Then I see that there is a little desk by my bed. Inside one of the drawers is a diary. My diary.

 

 I don’t know how long I have been here, and I don’t give a shit. At first, being here is totally a nightmare, but now, I’m kind of getting used to it. Every day is just another shitty day. 

 

 

Today, I met a girl. Her name is Rosie and she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She just makes here not so motherfucking anymore and she also has a brother here with her.

I don’t know why they were sent here, but I really thank god for bringing us together.

 

I overheard that they were working on a project to carry out on me the other day and today, they gave me a new kind of medicine. They told me that it would help me get rid of my illusions, but I don’t have any goddamn illusions, so I spit it out without their knowledge.

Gods know what they are planning to do next.

 

I haven’t seen Rosie or her brother for quite a long time now and I am starting to worry about them. The fucking guard isn’t willing to tell me what is happening to them and all I can do is to pray for them even though I am not really a devout Christian.

  They took me to another room which is in another building today and there isn’t any other person here, so I am locked here alone except for the guards. I have no idea what they’re up to. Maybe they just leave me here and let me wait for myself to die.

 

 

 

 

It looks like I do am a patient here.

Suddenly, there is a photo falling out from the book. I pick it up and turn it over. It’s an old photo and there are four people in it.

There are my parents, my sister, and—me. On the opposite side of the photo are some words written on it:

To Alex and Katy,

Love mom and dad

Why is this photo in this diary? And Katy looks just like … Kathleen. I am so concentrated on the photo that I don’t notice Kathleen is standing behind me. She leans and whispers something into my ear “When are we gonna get the fucking out of here?”
