Prologue
Two guards came to his cell in the early hours of the night; he was dressed in a simple orange jumpsuit and plain white shoes. He knew where they were going to take him, he had been waiting for this for a whole month, but in this place the doctor was always busy. The guards pushed him against the brick wall and patted him down, ‘useless’ he thought ‘what is there that I could possibly have, this is such a secure building, yet everyone in here is so insecure’. He could feel that much just by the way everyone acted around here; he could smell it on people and could see fear in their eyes. Once the guards were satisfied that he was not carrying a weapon they cuffed him and walked him out of the cell, the hallways were dark, no noise came from any of the other cells in his block. They met only another guard on their walk to the small doctor’s office that was on the other side of the complex. The guard pushed him forward trying to get this done quickly so he could go home for the night. He kept his pace taking his time; he had time the doctors didn’t close for another hour. After four more minutes of walking they arrived at the office. The guard pushed him in and then took up the position of waiting outside for him to be finished. A nurse ushered him in to a room and told him the doctor would only be a few minutes, the doctor came in and sat down across from him. “How have you been”? The doctor asked. “The usual” he responded, “my cell mate has been making a lot of noise and I’m getting fucking sick of the food served here”. The doctor leaned back in his chair, confused, he knew that this man had no cellmate; he was in isolation and was alone in his cell. Cautious of how to approach this he merely said “I’ll see what I can do about your cell mate”. The man reacted well to this “my thanks, the bastard has been yelling and keeping me awake all through the night, if it was legal I would request for him to be put down”. He smiled as he envisioned this, the doctor did not respond to the comment of having it put down. “Have you had any hallucinations recently”? He asked. This was the reason this man was sitting here in front of him, he had been moved from some other facility to come here, he was deemed unsafe to be around other people in society. As far as the doctor knew the man hadn’t committed any terrible crimes, he was merely here to keep him and other people safe. The man looked shocked to be asked such a question. “I don’t think so; I have been busy of late”. “Busy with what”? The doctor asked. He had not heard of this man doing anything out of the ordinary, he followed most routines and was generally ok. “I’d rather not say” the man responded. The doctor decided not to push him about his activities “well have you had any questionable symptoms recently”? The man looked down; trying to recall “I have been having some migraines and…” this caught the doctor’s attention. “And these migraines, do you feel anything after or during”? The man stared at him “usually just some chest pain”. The doctor wrote all of this down, this man he was truly unlike many of the other people held here. The man had begun to hum to himself “is that all”? The doctor asked. The man paused “why yes I believe it is”. Tired of the conversation the doctor gave him some medication. The man swallowed the pills, but secretly pocketed a few. He then gave a smile to the doctor headed in the direction of the door, before he could leave he turned to face the doctor “good night doc, I trust that you’ll bring me back if there is any other issues”? The doctor merely gave a slight nod, with that the guards cuffed the man and walked him back in the direction from which he came from. When he returned to his cell he found another man waiting for him, “you really think we’ll let you get away with what you’ve done? If you ever get out of here we’ll kill you” the other man told him. “Yeah yeah shut the fuck up, it’s late and I’d like to get some sleep before tomorrow”. With that the man fell asleep; the second man loomed over him looking as if he was going to strangle him. He reached for his neck, right before his hands grasped the man the second man disappeared leaving only the first man sleeping quietly in his bed, his head began to ache as he slept, waiting for the morning to arrive.
