Bartonville, Illinois: location Peoria state hospital
Outside of Bartonville, Illinois lies a beautiful forest. Right now it's the early fall and the forest was bright red with yellowish and brownish leaves falling from the trees. The wind was blowing a gentle breeze. The road was all but quiet except for one car being driven by Margaret Slade, a Caucasian, 22 yr old, Harvard graduate, she had short, slick black hair and was wearing a black, pencil skirt and a matching black, two jacket, a pair of red high heels and a white button shirt underneath. The reason for her driving out was not for sight seeing but rather for more personal reasons because she was heading towards Peoria state hospital, in other words an asylum. When she got there it was a big building, she heard that it consist with 63 other buildings was 215.5 acres after looking for a while she parked her car and she immediately enters the main entrance. Once in she walked towards the front desk where a elderly woman sitting and talking on the phone and started to talk to her.
"may I help you with something?", the elderly woman asked
"Ah yes I'm here to find Dr. Thomas Wilburry. I'm Margaret slade", she responds
"oh your the one he hired", the elderly woman said as she pick up the phone, "you can a sit while he comes", she finished and Margaret sat at a nearby chair. She looked around the lobby and saw other doctors and nurses walking around either by themselves or where accompanied by a staff member carrying a patient who are strapped into a wheel chair to prevent them for running off. Margret waited for a while until a man sat next to her. The man appears to be of middle age and was buff, had dirty, blond hair, a was wearing a white uniform. He appears to be one of those white coat men whose jobs are to hold down the patients in case they got crazy. The man was just sitting next to her and was smiling.
"can I help you?", Margaret asked
"yeah like what's a pretty young thing like you doing in this shitty place", he asked as he looked at her legs and body. Margret was getting really discomfort from the man and she moved to the chair next to her but the man still moved in closer. The situation was getting really creepy for her until she heard a voice.
"leave her alone john", they turn to see a middle age African American man who's bald, wearing a doctors uniform and holding a Manila folder and was staring at the man next to Margaret, "back to work john or I'll have you clean the toilets for the next 6 months", he warned and the man named john left bitterly. Once he was gone the doctor walks up to Margaret and shakes her hand, "sorry for that, john tends to disturb the younger staff", he said to her.
"you must be dr. Wilburry", Margaret asked
"yes, welcome to Peoria state hospital miss. Slade", Wilburry said as he shakes her hand and started showing her around the hospital. Dr. Wilburry showed Margaret the cafeteria, the library in case she need to find out what she needs to know. All of the first, second, and third floors of at least 12 buildings of where they place the patients at. Dr. Wilburry then took Margaret to an elevator and press the basement button.
"Um Dr. Wilburry I've been meaning to ask you something", Margaret asked
"what is it?", he asked
"we'll you saw my resume?", Margaret asked
"I did was there something wrong with it", said Wilburry
"no actually in my resume I have a masters in child psychology and we'll I see that there's not a single child here", Margaret stated and Wilburry expression went from calm to a more sadden facial expression and the elevator stop and opens up.
"come", Wilburry said as he lead the way to a security stop
"hey doc", said the security guard
"please open up frank", asked Wilburry and the security guard open the door with his keys and let Wilburry and Margaret pass before he closes it again. When margret entered in this hallway, she felt a sudden chill up her spine. The hallway leads to a deadend but on the left and right side of the hallway were cells but unlike the rest of the cells in the upper levels these doors were solid and had a small window and have at least three different locks in each door. In each cell she could hear screams and yelling of the maniac patients.
"why are we here?", Margaret asked
"for him", Wilburry responded as she led her to the last cell on the right. There was a sign that shows the name of the patient in this case it's a person named Jeff. Wilburry then slides his ID card to open the door and leads Margaret inside. The room was all cushin on all sides even the floor to make sure the patient form hitting their heads. Margret then turns to the far corner and in that corner was a small person in a straight jacket and was chain on his foot.
"Jeff this is your new psychiatrist, miss slade", Wilburry introduce
"hello Jeff", Margaret greeted and the figure stood up. He appeared to be around five feet tall and had long, black hair and it covered his face. He just stood there for a while before he spoke
"hey doc can you tell me something", Jeff asked in a quiet yet creepy voice
"yes anything Jeff", Margaret replied
"CAN YOU TELL ME IM PRETTY HAHAHAHAHA", Jeff shouted as he lunges at her but the chains prevent him from moving close to her. To Margaret's horror she saw Jeff's face: he was pale white, his mouth was cut to make it resembles a smile, and his eyes were unblinkable and he stares directly at Margaret. She was so horrid at his face and nearly fainted but Wilburry catches her and hides her behind him as he tries to cover her from Jeff's appearance. As for Jeff, he continues stare at Margaret and continued to laugh mananically. His laugh can be heard from from the first floor as everyone stops what they were doing as the laugh was still being heard
