A/N: Ok, I shall explain why this story is a bit weird. I got the inspiration from a video game I've started playing called The Suffering, basically you have to escape from a prison infested with monsters (at least, that's what I've picked up so far anyway). I did of course add my own little twist to it. Anyway, enjoy and please rate & review.
California Psychiatric Prison
Beyond sat humming the tune to Rosemary's Baby. He looked at the walls, the same walls he had seen for a year. He was in one of his moods today and had thrown a hissy fit so he was put in a straitjacket. He wriggled his toes and heard the small window on his door slide open then shut, Beyond heard the lock open. A red haired woman stepped into the room. "Good evening Rebecca" he said politely but avoiding eye contact.
"Hello Beyond. I understand you had a little episode at dinner today"
"I guess I did" he said apathetically
"Beyond, we've made so much progress with you. Why have you been kicking off like this?"
"Progress? What do you mean by 'progress'? Your discovery of my talent for art & music? Or is it just the idea that your first asylum case is a 'psychotic' serial killer?" he paused and slowly turned his head. She shuddered when his large, black, dark circled eyes stared into hers without blinking. "I've been in this room for a year Dr Farrow. I know you'll never ever let me out while I'm alive. All I want is a view, a window which I can look out of and see a tree or flowers. Even a small garden would be sufficient."
"Beyond are you asking for a transfer?"
"Yes"
"I'm not sure if I can do that. It's a difficult procedure to do and I'm not sure if there's any other prison willing to take you."
"Will you at least try?" asked Beyond looking at the floor miserably. The young doctor sighed. She had grown quite fond of Beyond and did want to help him.
"Ok, I'll try but I can't promise anything".
2 weeks later two of the prison guards burst into Beyond's cell. "Hey bog eyes, get up!" one of them yelled picking Beyond up by his pure white asylum issued shirt. The other one put shackles on Beyond's hands and ankles. "Come along Beyond. You're going to meet the governors."
"Finally, I'll get my transfer and I won't have to look at your ugly faces ever again."
"Ha! I wouldn't bet my last shilling on it. Let's go."
"Yeah, you'll stay here 'til you rot" the guards sneered leading Beyond to his interview.
Beyond looked at the panel of doctors in front of him. He looked at the names above their heads. Dr Farrow sat at the end of the table. Beyond stayed quiet for a while. He didn't know whether to speak or not. "Good morning" said one of the doctors. He was an ominous looking man with dark hair, pale skin and a strange moustache. "Good morning sirs" Beyond said courteously
"Beyond Birthday, these gentlemen are from a variety of different psychiatric prisons" said Dr Farrow twirling her red hair nervously.
"Yes Beyond we've been looking through your file. You've committed some very brutal attacks not just in your murders. There's something about you trying to gauge a guard's eyes out" said another doctor
"He had it coming. Most of the time in here I've been a model prisoner" Beyond insisted.
"That maybe true but we do have to take into account the fact that you have been known to viciously attack people. We all have to consider every aspect before agreeing for a transfer."
"I completely understand sir"
"It says in this one that as well as the L.A.B.B Murder Cases you also confessed to killing a number of other people" added a third doctor.
"Yes, that's correct." Beyond watched each of them carefully. He noticed that the ominous-looking man had stayed in the exact same position. He kept his eyes locked on Beyond and seemed to take an interest in him. The panel of doctors chatted amongst each other for a minuet. "Alright, thank you very much Beyond. Dr Farrow will let you know our decision within the next few days" said one of the doctors. Beyond felt slightly miserable as the guards walked him back to his cell. They made fun of Beyond and pushed him around.
3 DAYS LATER
Beyond ran at his wall and bounced right off it again, Beyond liked to think of his cell as a bouncy castle. The little window slid open and Beyond stopped bouncing. The window shut again and the lock clanked. Beyond's doctor walked in, she had a smile on her face. "Beyond, I have some good news. One of the doctors accepted your transfer. You'll be going to Abbott State Penitentiary and staying in the asylum which is by the death house"
"Sounds charming" said Beyond sarcastically.
"Let me finish. Your cell isn't going to be on the side which overlooks the death house. Yours is going to have a view of the sea"
"The sea" Beyond repeated putting his thumb to his lips and smiling.
"Yes, Abbott is on a place called Carnate Island. You get a view of all the landscape. I've arranged for you to leave tomorrow."
