I know you're there. I can feel you watching me. I can feel those bugs working inside me now that I know they're there. You want to know what it feels like? Because I can tell you exactly how it feels.

It feels like…

The patient smiled, eyes shifting into a dreamy, unfocused glaze. Laughter bubbled from his lips, a strange, growling chuckle that began deep in his throat.

It…hehe…it tickles. It's like—haha—when your foot falls asleep. Hehehe. You know how before it starts to hurt, it—hehehe—it tickles? It's like that. HahahaHA!

You…you…haha…oh God, it really does tickle! You want to know something really…something really funny? I know a secret. That's right.

He snorted, trying to hold back his laughter, and then his voice adopted a sing-song tone as he said, I know something you don't know; I KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW!

But you know what? I'm not going to tell you. Because you'll find out. You'll just keep putting things in me until you find out. But I'll never tell you myself. Never, ever, ever, ev—what in the hell is THIS?

The patient flexed his arms, only now realizing that he was unable to move them freely. He opened his mouth to speak and then closed it again, too horrified to speak for the moment. His horror quickly turned to anger, and then to rage as he regarded his securely restrained arms.

A straightjacket? A goddamned straightjacket? You…you bastards! Shit, you think I'm crazy? You sons of bitches! YOU REALLY THINK I'M CRAZY?!? SON OF A BITCH! I'm not. You hear me? I'm not crazy. I'M NOT CRAZY!

…

…

…

You bastards what to know who's crazy? I'll tell you exactly who's crazy. It's you. All of you bastards out there planting all that shit inside of me and keeping me locked in this goddamned room to rot! YOU'RE THE ONES WHO SHOULD BE IN STRAIGHTJACKETS, GODDAMN IT! NOT ME!

With an angry howl, the patient threw himself against one of the spotlessly white walls of his prison. The shock of the impact was enough to cause him to fall back, cracking his head against the tile floor painfully. He leapt to his feet to slam his body against the wall a second, and then a third time, his rage dulling the pain.

Goddamned sons of bitches! I'll kill every last one of you for this! You hear me? I'LL KILL YOU, GODDAMNN IT!

Over and over he smashed himself into the walls of his prison, tears of fury spilling down his cheeks.

It's not fair; it's not fair; IT'S NOT FAIR!

It wasn't fair. For with his arms restrained as they were, he would not be able to escape the Watchers. He was helpless; completely at their mercy.

Why, why, why, why, WHY, WHY?!? WHY DID YOU DO THIS? WHY?!?

Or was he? As he threw his body into the wall again, and again, and again, a startling new realization dawned on him.

You assholes….

He did not need to use his arms to escape the Watchers.

I won't let you win.

All he needed was…

YAAAAAAH!

With a hoarse cry, he lurched forward to ram his face into the wall once, twice, three times. Something cracked wetly under the force of the third blow, and he tasted blood in his mouth.

YOU WON'T BEAT ME!

Again, he slammed his face into the wall. Pain exploded across his face and lights flashed behind his eyes. But as the blood oozed from his broken nose and dribbled from his mouth, he smiled…

I'm gonna win.

…he smiled because now he was close, so close.

So screw you. All of you.

The door was there, closer than last time. All he needed to do was go through it and then…

You all suck ass.

…then he would be free.

Goodnight.

Next time…yes, next time, he would make it.

May 17th. Seventh test run confirms current trend: patient's mental deterioration is progressing steadily. Patient reacted quite strongly to the introduction of restraints. This negative reaction coincides with earlier theories about psychological need for control. Most interesting…. Next test run will commence immediately upon patient's awakening.
Author's Notes: I'm baaaaaack! Hmmm...what can I say? Poor, dear, insane little.... Nope, not going to say yet! I'm sadistic, I know. Don't worry, we're getting close to the end now, so you'll all find out soon enough.
