Wide Knowledge of The Late, Madness

Chapter 1

One day, in a clean white room.

I'm thrown into a small, white room. I groan and desperately try to shake the red and black spots out of my vision.

"Patient 2712, this is your room." A deep voice tells me my new name.

"Where am I?" I ask, my voice is gravelly, strange, not at all the way I like to sound.

The deep voice belongs to a man whose face is in shadow. He flicks on the light and his big eyes roam the room. They flick to and fro around, everywhere.

"This is where you'll be staying from now on. You may not leave, the nurses will bring your meals to you." He points to a small slit in the door.

"Ah..." It takes me a second to remember how to speak for a moment. Who is this guy anyway? Why am I here? The man turns away and starts to leave.

"Wait! C-chairman!" I call desperately. Where did I come up with that type of name? "Where am I? Why am I here?"

The man looks at me and I finally get a good look at his eyes. They were a deep red color. Hypnotic, beautiful, terrifying.

"You're in our sanctuary, our goal is to put you to very good use and keep you safe." I sensed a hidden meaning beyond those words but I said no more. I had a feeling I didn't want to know what he meant anyway.

"Chairman, huh." He mutters, "I kind of like that title." I see a flash of white teeth and then he's gone, leaving me alone in my new cold, white, home.

They bring me here, always…

Nothing ever happens, I'm always alone. I feel like this loneliness is driving me crazy. But if I'm here, I must already BE crazy right?

I pass the time by singing; I don't even have a roommate. Aren't you supposed to have roommates in this type of place?

I sing any words that pop into my head, creating a nonsensible melody. My song bounces off the walls, filling no one's ears but my own. A wave of sadness hits me and I lay my forehead against my knees. I feel so alone. I want to cry, I want to leave. Please. Someone…

Clean Corridors, many clean rooms

I think it's been a whole week since I've been here. I'm starting to hear people in the walls. Their voices vibrate in my ears. They are familiar, yet unrecognizable.

Someone's under my bed, he's so good at hiding, I've looked for him countless of times. The nurse won't listen to me when I tell her he's there. She says "It's just us here, you're just imagining it." She says I'm alone. She's implying that I'm crazy.

What a filthy liar.

First she's nice, as if her world only consist of sunshine and rainbows. It's nothing but a lame façade. She is one of those plotting plotters. Deceitful and dangerous. Right now, my nurse has her back turned to me, and she sets my breakfast tray down on my nightstand. "No one is here with you, you're not well at the moment and you need to tell yourself he's not there."

I won't stand for this. I come up behind her and whisper in her ear. "I'm not crazy, nor am I just 'seeing' things. If you imply that I'm crazy again. I will not forgive you!"

"Hm!?" She whips around and I raise my hand-ready to strike.

"LEARN TO LISTEN, YOU STUPID WOMAN!" I snarl angrily. Suddenly I hear a loud beep. I know it's the main doors opening. When it beeps, it usually means nurses or the Chairman is coming in.

That, however is not the case today.

The nurse scuttles away from me and peers out the window on my door. "Two new patients?" She says to herself somberly. "I wasn't aware of this." New patients? That means I may finally have a roommate, someone to share words with! Thank God!

I skip to the window, excitement boiling in my tummy, and I look out. Chairman is leading a pair of blonde twins through the double doors. Their hands bound with plastic bands that barely cut into their wrists.

Male and female. The boy's eyes roam the room, as if he's searching for a way to escape. He's aware, yet unaware of what is going on around him. Dark circles gather under his eyes. He mumbles nonsensical words to himself and his head twitches from side to side. Strange.

"What's wrong with him?" I whisper to myself.

The female twin's hands never stop moving. One minute she's picking at an imaginary spot on her skin, the next, pulling out single strands of her golden hair. Her eyes are bright and blue. Though, much too solemn for her cheery appearance.

They reach the room right across from mine. Chairman opens the door and beckons for them to go in. The female whispers something and shakes her head, causing the Chairman to get irritated. He grabs her head and forcefully shoves her inside.

How rude of him! "Chairmaaaaaaaaan! Don't hurt her!" I complain.

"Hush 2712, go to sleep."

The Chairman turns back to the male and mutters. "Get in the room." The boy timidly steps into the room, his hands clamped together. His thumbs twiddle and he mumbles on. Suddenly his head snaps in my direction and our gaze meets. His eyes narrow in an eerie way that instantly sends a shiver down my spine. I don't think I like him.

"Hurry up!" Chairman huffs; grabbing the thumb-twiddler by his shirt collar and heaving him into the room. He falls to the floor, shrieking angrily and his twin rushes toward him. Then, I'm left staring at a closed-door with two numbers on the door.

2713-2714.

My new neighbors.
