A/N-This chapter is based off 'Bernice's Sanity Hearing', her niece Phyliss tried her best to have Bernice committed to a hospital but it didn't work. I have had a hard time with this because I was trying to go one way and I couldn't then I thought of this idea, please tell me what you think.
The idea for this chapter is from chapter 26-'Weirdness' and another chapter I did on Bernice, this is another little hint I'm going to do on Bernice in a story later on, seperate from this one.
Bernice comes walking in a hospital building. The hospital looks like any other and she walks up to a desk with a nurse sitting behind filling out some papers and Bernice says, "I'm here to meet with the doctor who is over my niece Phyliss's case" Without even looking at Bernice, the rude nurse asks, "What's the doctor's name?" "Griffith, doctor Griffith" The nurse still doesn't look up, just takes the pencil behind her ear and points with it down the hall and she says, "Down the hall, to the right" Bernice looks down the hall then back at the nurse, scrunches up her nose and says, "Thank you" Then walks on down the hall with the nurse not even giving a glance.
Bernice walks down with her heels clicking in the hall then she looks to the right and sees the doctor talking to two boys. She calls the boys, "Dick and Dick", Phyliss's boys and Bernice clears her throat and the doctor says, "Oh, Mrs. Clifton" One of Phyliss's boys look at Bernice and says in a 'charm free' voice, "I'm glad you came aunt Bernice" She smiles at one of the boys and then turns to the other and smiles at him then she turns to looks at her niece sitting in a padded room. Just smiling very...weird.
Bernice asks the doctor, "Just how nuts is she doctor?" The doctor clears his throat then says, "We don't use the term 'nuts' Mrs. Clifton" "Oh, well, what do you say Doctor?" "We say she had a psychotic episode" Bernice thinks on that then says, "I say she's nuts" The doctor clears his throat and looks at the boys and says, "Well, um, if you want to"
One of the Dick boys says, "It's strange that mother became like this after visiting you"
Bernice looks at him then back at Bernice then says, "Strange things happen all the time, that's life...you know I say life is like that show 'Twilight Zone'..." She then hums the weird theme song from the show and the boys and the doctor look at each other then she asks, "How long will she be like this doctor?" "Oh, it's hard to say, she could come out of this next week or next year" Bernice thinks, 'I know when it will be, when the moon becomes 3'
Phyliss just looks around the room and says, 'Why, I don't know what they think of me, I wouldn't hurt a fly...they can just watch me and I just won't hurt that fly at all'
Only Phyliss sees the imaginary fly buzzing around the room and outside, Bernice says, "I better be going, please let me know if anything changes with her tho I doubt it when a person goes nuts, they stay nuts" One of the Dick boys says, "Mother was going to see about getting you in a hospital because you are nuts and I think she was right! And I think you made her nuts!" Bernice looks at him then turns and leaves but first she stops at the desk and sees the nurse, looks at her then she turns and leaves and while she is leaving, she hears the nurse scream.
A horde of black ants comes pouring out of her desk and when she is out of the building, one of the Dick boys flings his body forward into the unbreakable glass and he falls backward and then he falls on the floor and his body flops around like a fish on dry land and...Bernice smiles and goes and gets in the van with Anthony driving and he asks, "How is Phyliss Bernice?" She closes the van door and says, "Oh, she's fine, I think she's in the perfect place for her" "Good"
Anthony starts up the van and she starts singing,'Black man, black man, where do you come from?" Anthony then says, "Now don't start that Bernice or I'll turn this van right around and leave you with Phyliss!" She just smiles as he drives on.
