Kicking and Screaming

by Kismet R.T. Realtin

Ned checks him in at the Calmwoods Mental Hospital once more ... he thinks that this visit will be just like his last one after the Hurricane that destroyed his house. Only thing that he was ever so much wrong.

"Would you like to go quitely or kicking a screaming?" The bored nurse spoke as she looked into the brown eyes of the mustache man in front of her.

Ned pushed his glasses back against his nose; "Oh kicking and screaming please." He took a slight breath as the nurse waved her hand for the two orderlys to grab onto his arms. He winked and smiled at the nurse as he fell backwards; trusting the arms to prevent him from falling onto the ground. He opened his mouth; "No I don't want to go." His legs started to kick … first the right then the left then he fully trusted the hands on his body and he managed to get both feet up forward … "NO I TELL YOU THAT I'M FINE. I DON'T BELONG HERE. HELP ME SOMEONE!" His feet landed on the ground and he managed to kick both legs backwards as he screamed "HOMER HELP ME! SOMEONE GET HORMER SIMPSON HERE HE CAN HELP ME. NO I DON'T WANNA ..." He lost his breath as the hands placed him against the matress and started to strap him to it. "Wait guys I didn't want to be strapped down."

"Too bad. This is what you get when you scream for Homer Simpson." A dark face frowned darkly into Ned's wide surprised eyes. "You are going to be strapped down and drugged up. You are no way a sane person."

"No no guys. I'm as sane as anyone else." Ned tired to fight the hands but the firm hands gripped him against the mattress as other hands pressed against his legs against the mattress. He opened his mouth to scream for help before the hand quickly tightened against his throat. When did the hand get to my throat? That can't be. Help me. Someone please help me. Hormer help me! His started to darken as the oxyen was caught off from him. His last thought was that of Hormer Simpson.

"He's out." A gruff voice spoke as he moved away from Ned. "Can't believe he wanted Hormer J. Simpson to save him. Time to get this guy some serious help this time around." He turned and found the nurse at the doorway with a tray full of drugs. "Drug him up and we'll get his treatment started tomorrow." He looked down with pity at the unconscious Ned Flanders. "The doctor had high hopes for him the last time he checked himelf in."

He walked out of the room as the nurse walked in and shut the door behind her. She looked at Ned and knew that Ned Flanders would be drugged up until he was ready to be released once again into the world. Perhaps this time he'll be cured.
