MarlonAlmost asleep on the bed in my room, I hear footsteps towards my room. I was dying of sleep, as I was awake all night. The door opens and a security guard enters the room. He looked at me suspiciously.“ Navid, did you ever see someone in uniform the night before?“ No.I see him looking me up and down, suspicious. He looks at my face, as if it were familiar, I notice that his eyes are fixed on my arms, which have many tattoos. I took a deep breath, remaining calm and calm, as if I didn't even know what he was talking about.“ Is there a problem, Mr. Charles? “ Cíntia asks, finding it strange.“ No, my colleagues and I just suspect that there is an infiltrator... someone impersonated us last night.“Then keep looking and leave the patient alone.” He ordered.“ Yes ma'am. “ He looked at me again and left.She came closer to me and sat down next to me. She put her hand on my arm.“ Don't worry, no one will hurt you anymore....I looked at her and said nothing, disguising the cont
MidnightMarlonI'm underground heading towards Sasha's room, I get there and I don't see her. I get distressed and start looking in other rooms, where was she? Did they punish her and she's in the punishment room? What happened? I start to call her in distress, but there is no response. The corridor was full of patients circulating like the living dead, I see a patient with long hair, her back was turned. I come closer, I grab her shoulder and she looks at me and I get scared. She had no eyes, her eye socket was inflamed and pink. She murmured, didn't even speak, so I walked away and continued walking.“ Sasha! “ I say entering a room, I am relieved to see her sitting on the bed, combing the hair of an elderly woman. She looks at me and smiles, runs to me and hugs me. I can't respond to her hug, because since that night, I haven't felt comfortable with hugs or my torso being touched by anyone other than myself.“ Marlon! “ She hugs me and then gives me a kiss on the mouth, short but
Sasha"He's amazing" I repeated that several times, to myself. Still sitting on the floor, I thought about the moments that one day I was able to make him happy.On the days when I couldn't be a threat... I almost killed him and I don't even know why! That scar... What did I do? How does he still want me in his life?“ Sasha..I look and see Hilda looking at me worriedly. Marlon had already left.“ I almost killed...“ But he didn't kill him, he's still alive, as you saw...“ I'm afraid, afraid of what I'm capable of doing! I thought I knew myself.... “ He said."You don't deserve anyone""Another being touched you"I hear the voices and ignore them, standing up and clutching my hands in my pajamas until my fingers hurt.“ Think about the opportunity you have to get out of here... “ Said Hilda“ I almost killed him...“ I've done a lot of bad things, but I think I deserve to leave here!I looked at her and shook my head.“ Your love looks so beautiful! He's just like you said.“ He de
2 days laterNancy"There are several ways to silence someone... a slap on the face, speaking louder, silence... they silenced me, turning their backs on me without looking back, without knowing how I felt"Navid, I was in the cafeteria, I took advantage of him leaving to go into his room. I see drawings on the walls, he really liked to draw. His drawings were childish for his age, but there was something interesting about them. The wall was colorful and even added charm to the room. I approach the drawing that has a sun, with yellow and red rays. Why would he draw red rays? I asked myself. Next to it was a drawing of a tree with red apples in the middle of the night.I close my eyes and I can imagine Navid next to me, imagining what his hands would do if they touched me. I couldn't stop thinking about him, not what was happening to me.I hear footsteps that make me open my eyes, I turn around and see Cíntia. She looks at me, confused and embarrassed.“Looking for Navid?” I intimidate
SashaIn the darkness, there is always a light. Even in a place as dark and obscure as this, there were illuminated places, lights from above. Lights from a place I used to stay and because I tried to escape, I stayed here, but there was a door. In the middle of all this, the dark, the suffering, the insanity there was a door. A door where I could see the light coming from beneath it, I knew that this was not light from the place where I was, but from outside. I was in front of the door, staring and thinking what could be behind it, pressing my hands to my robe. I felt an agony that I couldn't even explain, the place, the place left me like that, afraid of today and tomorrow. Marlon hadn't come to see me for three days, I missed him and I wanted to talk so much about this door. I never understood why I was here, until I saw Marlon's scar, but I know he will only leave here with me. He won't leave without me, Marlon, when he has something on his mind, doesn't give up, it wouldn't be fa
3 days laterMarlonNancy and I are in the living room. She putting on her dress and me fastening the buttons on my shirt. She looked at me with a possessed look, as if she were my owner and an invasive look, showing her possessive side.“ Do you know what I'm thinking? “ He told me“ What?“ You and me, out of here... Far away!I look surprised because I didn't expect that, that idea pleased me, it could be an opportunity to get the hell out of this place.“ As? You know I can't leave.“ There is always a way. “ She showed a mischievous smile.“ That way?“ There are certain doors that lead us to the exit without anyone knowing. “ She said softly.I tried to disguise my great satisfaction, so as not to arouse suspicion. She telling us how to leave and when, it would be the perfect day to run away with Sasha. It would be more complicated, but it wasn't impossible, you would just have to know the access points, have her card and escape in disguise.““ Help me close. “ She asked from be
NancyI'm at the door of the room waiting for Sebastian to come by. I see him from afar in conversation with an elderly couple, who could possiblybeing the parents of one of the hospital's patients. I kept watching him, not that he and I were enemies but we weren't friends either. I was head of the clinical area and I know he would like to be in my place. He finishes talking and walks towards me.“ Do you want an autograph Nancy?“ Don't brag!He laughed and put his hands on his hips.“ A little green bird told me that you were in Sasha's room.” He said.“ She is my patient…“ I hope the visit was just professional.He took a deep breath and rubbed his head.“ What is your problem? You don't even like her and besides, her husband never came to see you again...“ Don't touch her... She's not one of your other patients that you do as you please.“ She is a patient like any other and knows that I don't do anything more than examine them. “ He made a perverted smile.“ Not in Sasha…“Cal
NancySitting on the sofa at home, she had a photo album in her hands. My house was large, type 3 and entirely made of wood. I always liked rustic houses, which reminded me of a country house. I open the album, there are a few pages to spare, I take out Navid's photo, I look at it for a while, I kiss the photo, imagining that mouth on my body. I did this with my eyes closed so I could feel it more, I took a deep breath and put the photo in the album. This album was spacey, it was one of my favorite patients. It was like a cage that existed inside me and filled with birds.I continued to see several photos of my patients and some who once were there, but were no longer there today. I see Sasha's photo and run my finger over the photo, show a smile, imagining her and I together, how well we got along. How we were friends.The reception phone rings, interrupting my moment. I close the album and answer, impatiently. Just knowing who it is makes me roll my eyes, but tell him to come in, op
