Bartlett Sanitarium

We woke up in an unfamiliar place. We were told that we were home, in a place unknown to us. We recognized everyone. They didn't know us, outside of their world. We wanted to go back to our school. But instead we were trapped in Bartlett Sanitarium

1. Prologue

Bartlett Sanitarium

By Claire and Kelsey

The white overcoat was as impeccable as the walls of the sanitarium surrounding Dr. Gornick. His clipboard in hand, he opened room 4378. Four beds were stationed in the room, seperated by paper screens. He sighed as he picked up the clipboard for patient 414 AKA Kelsey Brice, she was asleep, which Dr. Gornick was grateful for.

The clipboard read the neat, yet demonic, handwriting of Dr. Winter. "Patient shows signs of Schizophrenia, BPD and severe IED."

Dr. Winter didn't even know what she was talking about. He scanned the page even further to see red letters in the 'Recomended Perscription'

'TRANQUILIZERS' and 'carbamazepine' He flipped the page back to the front.

Dr. Gornick sighed and set the clipboard back in the slot at the end of the bed. He was definitly going to have to talk to that woman.

The next patient, 314, AKA Claire Heiken, had similair disorders as patient Brice. Bipolar Disorder. As well as psychoneuroses. Only Patient Heiken was not classified as schizophrenic.

Again, the recommended perscription was 'TRANQUILIZERS'.

Dr. Gornick looked down at the bottom of the Patient Analisis sheet and saw the scribbled signature of Dr. M. Winter.

The next Patient was 815, AKA Josh Heinztleman. His diagnosis was BPD, and petit mal epilepsy. This boy always kept fainting and injuring himself, even just by lying in bed he managed to screw up his shoulder. Most pme patients injur most of their body, he only hurt his shoulder.

'TRANQUILIZERS'

Dr. Winter.

The last patient was 614. AKA Victor Bailey. His diagnosis was BPD, as well, as Jacksonian Epilepsy. His convulsions have been known to require heavy sedation and isolation. Of course, under the supervision of Dr. Winter and Nurse Hanzuk.

'TRANQUILIZERS'

Dr. Winter.

Dr. Gornick looked around the room at the sleeping patients. He watched as the rain slid down the barred window in cascades of ripples. This wasn't going to be a good day. He'd switch his schedule so that he could be here if one of them has an episode. He wasn't going to let Dr. Winter deny these kids proper treatment.

One day he would be able to prove that she was not following proper protocol for isolation. She'd thrown so many people in there. Some people would simply be sitting in the public room during lunch, and she'd say that they were not interacting appropiatly.

He checked off his own time-sheet of when they were calm, and when and episode happened.

He looked at the sign on the door and smiled slightly at seeing the bold carved letters of 'WE ARE ONE'

Dr. Gornick looked back at the four teenagers and whispered. "That we are."
