Journal of the Insane (Post #11)

July 13, 2008,
I can’t believe it worked… The men came here this morning and, like clockwork, they checked on me. They pulled open the eye covers on the door and saw the straight jacketed man in the corner of the room, slumped in the fetal position. They then saw me and I reported that I came here early to make sure he was still here and alive and accidentally “locked myself in.” The men had a good chuckle, but then I heard the locks click and fall into place. The door creaked open and the men waited until I left. I was speechless at first, but didn’t waste much time to dash out of the room. I made sure to hastily walk past the three men I saw so they wouldn’t smell the death on my clothes. My heart was beating so fast… the adrenaline was incredible! I can finally try to find my way out of here! If I find my family again… I swear… I’m going to move so far away so no one could find me… and I can live happily with my family… god how long has it been? I got to go, found a nursing station…
