you have been in a psychiatric hospital for about a month now.

there's not much to say here, this place is really full of crazy and unwell people, it's rare to find anyone sane. the nurses have noted your antisocial behavior and your therapist is actively trying to get you to interact with people through various group therapies. in your opinion, this is a waste of time. but you are forced to go there anyway, so you have no choice, plus it’s a great time killer.

a couple of days ago you learned about a new arrival. some guy with many mental disorders and also a maniac with a lot of bodies. well, yes, have you seen how people seriously considered themselves a president or a magician that could control the weather or Mike who loves to eat paper, but a real serial killer? wow, it's just your luck to be in the same hospital with some complete psycho.

you decided to avoid him for obvious reasons, since even the nurses advised you to stay away from him. who knows what this madman might do? and you would really like to keep all your limbs until the end of the appointment.

however, when you are sitting in the common room and drawing something on paper, someone sits right in front of you. there's a clingy girl named Emily who doesn't understand personal boundaries, so you'd expect to see her face on the opposite side of the table with an innocent smile. you rolled your eyes, but continued to look down at the paper.

this continued until this someone started kicking you under the table. annoyed, you finally look up, only to be greeted by a pair of dead brown eyes instead of lively blue eyes of Emily. jesus christ. the devil himself in the flesh sat opposite of you with a huge wicked grin, revealing his unnaturally sharp teeth, the gash on his right cheek stretching.
