Comfortably Numb
I smile at him. Blood soaked smile. A truly genuine smile. I lift my heavy figure towards my mouth to shush him.
"Daddy, please. This is your fault, NOT MINE!!!!" I lift the hammer again and swing towards his face. All I feel is smooth skin being rips open. And the room is silent. Silence fills my room. As I swing and hit, and hit and swing. I never miss. And it feels as if I never stop. My vision is becoming blurry. As if my father's body is disappearing. As if my body is disappearing with him. As if my soul has completely left me. I fell numb.
I hear screaming, as if someone is being tutored. I hear people talking so close around me. I pry my heavy eyes open. But I barely make out who is there. Everything is white. My clothes are white, as I look around me, the room is white. And I don't understand what is happening.
"Mum" I say. "Mum" I say louder this time. And she comes.
"It's ok Hugh. Everything will be just fine." I hear her voice, I see her face. She looks beautiful. I try to hug her but I can't move my arms. I feel as I am being stretched. As I look up I see my arms above my head. They are tied. I try to move my feet and they are tied as well.
"How long do you have to keep him here" I hear my mother say.
"I can't say . We never had worked with children before. We might have to keep him for a very long time. Until we area shore he is not a threat to society, you, or himself."
"Yes, I understand, but it has been two years." I hear her say.
"Yes it has. Whenever we take him out of his restraints, ever night he tries to reenact, that night. When he stops this…" He looks at me, and turns to my mother and then walks away with her. Leaving me all alone, again.
"Mum, I promise" I whisper.
