I am alone. It has been two days since my last interrogation. The nurses have stopped pestering me about the murder. They only talk to me when I pass them in the hallway or when they deliver me my food. It's like they just stopped caring. I don't respond to them however. I have become one of the many walking zombies that roam the hallways. I am actually glad though life is better this way…you know… when I am alone. I don't mind it really. It leaves me to think. Sometimes I am so far in my thoughts I lose myself for hours on end. Really though, I am fine…with being alone.
I am lying on my cold stone floor staring at the ceiling. I feel cold, I shiver. Everything lays motionless with me as I listen to my on soft breathing. I close my eyes and listen. Silence, then the world opens itself to me. I hear birds, the wind, people talking, and… a door opening.
I open my eyes to see that indeed a door has opened. My cell door to be exact, it's my nurse, Leah.
"Hi Grubbs, how are you today?" She smiles cheerfully. I watch her make her way in, I remain silent as always. I don't know why she's here but something seems wrong. She's acting…different. "You have a visitor." I remain silent, "He is really anxious to meet you." I snap my eyes on her storm blue ones with an unnerved feeling. No one that has every come to visit me has ever been anxious to see me. Now I am intrigued.
"W-what is his n-name." My voice feels so irregular. It has been a while since I had spoken. She practically jumps out of her skin; obviously she figured I wouldn't talk to her. I had gone mute after my last interrogation session.
"Uh," she looks at me with a look of wonder, "His name is Kernel Fleck." She smiles…I don't…
Kernel Fleck, I think to myself. Is he a relative? Why do I know that name? I am silent once again. Leah takes control of the conversation seizing the opportunity to try and get me to speak once again. "He says he will drop by for a visit tomorrow morning." She grins big waiting for a reply. But I can't speak. I am too lost in my thoughts. Kernel Fleck…
A/N: What will happen with Kernel? Let me know how this one went and I will continue to post! Review, review!
