Asylum

Closed In

Julius

My head was bussin, where was I?

I looked up and it was dark and cold

"Hello?" I called out

I heard the door shift, a tiny door opened to reveal light

I tried to get up but I realized I was strapped up

"You're in the Asylum now" the person said and closed back the door

"No! What?" I tried to free myself but the strap was so tight

"Somebody help!" I screamed

Wasn't I just home?

Yes, the institute was my home

Was I taken away?

You didn't belong there

"What do you mean?" I asked

Crazies like you belong in the Asylum

"No I don't! Let me out!" I kicked

I pleaded but it was no use

What about Payton? Is she here too? Is she hurt?

So many thoughts raced my mind

I began to sweat and my belly began to growl. I haven't eaten in hours

A few minutes later the tiny door opened again

"Food" Was all he said

I felt the tray slid my way

"You expect me to eat in the dark?" I growled

"You think I care?" He said and slammed the door closed

What's happening to me?

Who put me here?

Did they hate me so much?

"It's okay hunnie" I whipped my head up and smiled

"Mommy"

"Everything will be okay" She said

"Why am I here?" I asked

"I don't know love, but you will survive" With that she faded away

"But I'm only 14 years old" A tear slipped my eye

I began to shiver, the room was so closed in

I'm scared
