July 17th: Day 1
Dark Corridors, Empty Rooms, Evil staring at you constantly. Oh how I only wish I were lucky enough to be in a place like that. Instead I'm somewhere far worse than the seventh layer of Hell! Far Worse than any torture could possibly to do to me. A place where not even the shadows are seen, where the most disease ridden vermin would never dare to tread. Where the very essence of your inner being is drained from you from the very second you walk in. There is not enough adjectives to describe this place. Just mentioning the name sends shivers down the average man's spine. One Word: ARKHAM. The very mention of that name strikes fear into the heart of every criminal, psychopath, rapist, villain, and delinquent in Gotham City. People actually beg not to get sent here. Although some criminals have the fortune to be sent to Black-gate Prison instead, Lucky Bastards. As for me, I've arrived here about 8 hours ago, I was dragged into the dank den by two burly simple headed guards in a pair of rusty, ill fitting handcuffs. The Minute I was pulled into the Asylum, I instantly felt my body spill all of my emotion and feelings out of me. I was no longer a human being, I was no more than a filthy, caged animal. As I walked throughout the corroded hallways of the Infirmary section. I was strapped to a metal slab for some 5 minutes before a blinding white light peered into my retinas. I was practically blind, All I could do was hear the voices around me say "His Bone structure is fine" "whats that gash in his arm?" "Get the new meat some Anesthetics." New Meat...that's all I was...Meat... As they slipped a cheap gas mask on me I slowly inhaled the noxious gas which put me to sleep instantly.
In my blackout, the only thing that crossed my mind were screams, that's all I heard, a chorus of ear piercing screams! These dreams I keep having...when will they stop!? The screaming continued to get louder and louder and louder, I couldn't take it anymore! What made it worse, was It was pitch black, I couldn't see who was screaming! Just that instant I woke up in a cold sweat. I was no longer in the Asylum ER, I was now in an indescribable shithole. I was in a tiny compact Cell. The walls were aged and decrepit, There was a Strong Plastic window to keep me in. the cot I was on was as hard as a brick, and I saw some writing on the wall across from me. It was written in red, I assume it was blood, and it said, "We are all infected and impure with sin." That saying sent chills down my spine. I kept staring at it for about an hour. But I was not completely alone, I had the rats and roaches to keep me company. I swear the roaches were bigger than the rats. I lay on my rotten cot for hours until nightfall when I heard the precision of swinging metal doors, then I heard a sound that would haunt me forever. An insane laughter echoing through the hallowed halls. It was...inhuman, frightening. Then the last thing I heard before I tried to sleep was "HOME AGAIN BOYS! I missed the old place." Then the laughter returned, And I was considering in my mind..."Who said that?"
