Snippet #1644397

Nicholas was pacing back and forth in his room , cracking his fingers , neck , back , toes , legs , knees. Anything that would pop and make a noise , any noise at all would do to end the madening silence. His clothes , the bleach white hospital gown and pants were all he had to fiddle with , even his bed was bolted to the floor so he couldint move it , no springs in it to creek and no cloth on top of the foamy matress to rip. Nothing , like always for what must have been three years now.

He couldint take it , not anymore , the stillness and quiet were getting to him and as soon as he heard the creek of his room door he whipped around extactic. A visitor? He hadint gotten one since he was admitted , then again he was a run away who worked at a bar. Not a whole lot of friends to begin with and he was sure no one knew he was at OKARI. When he saw the gaurds enter he twitched , reeling to the back of his room and shouting at them to go away , he preferred the madness to them.

What was it now? Hours? Days? however long he had been suspended in that tank , liquid gel pulsing against his body so thick and holding his body in place. Only able to stare and breath , stare and breath. Who was that? Some old guy with a mustache , looked important , looked impressed when he stared back at Nicholas , was that good? Did it mean he would get to move again? Get to talk and hum and breath normally? No , he walked away , more tanks to stare in to he guessed.

It had to have been a month now when he finnaly awoke , he felt...strange. His hands itched , when he tried to blink all he felt was a clear slit go across his eyes , removing the need to close his eyelids and why did his mouth feel....pointy? No , it didint matter did it? The straps were what mattered , the ones on his feet and hands holding him to the bed but no , no it wasint them iether. They didint matter. What was this? Was he asleep? No , meditating? No no , Waiting?? Not that iether , he was...somewhere inbetween the three. He wanted nothing , felt nothing , so still , so lifeless he would make maniquens look energetic in comparison.

That creek again , the door. Nicholas' eyes lazily moved to it , a nurse. Nice looking , kinda cute. He should move , talk , flirt maby but no , the stillness was enough , that wonderfull blissfull nothing he had achieved. The nurse was talking to him , saying he looked well , asking if he was hungry and after awhile she said his vocal cords must not have healed yet but she looked pleased , happy even to be around Nicholas and she was nice too , she closed the door behind her , she dusted off Nicholas' chest and body and eventually undid the straps , how....'nice' of her.

That was that then , the straps were gone and with them he thought the stillness would go , no still there , keeping him in place , no movement , not yet. It was then , the nurse moved. Why was that special? She moved faster then she did before , her back was turned , she was humming....ah , there it was. That wonderfull feeling of movement.

The screams lasted longer then she did , fifteen minutes maby? Who knew , what ever amount of time it took to remove both legs and strip them clean. Food , tasted good , bit chewy , new teeth made short work of it and his gut never seemed to fill completely. By the time the gaurds came in they were far to late. The pile of bleach cleaned bones in the corner was message enough to that , the clacking sound of the half a rib bone lazily moving around against his teeth seemed to echoe horribly and that smooth feeling of finger bones in his clenched hand was nice , like dice , boney dice. One of the gaurds vomitted in his helmet , gross. Couldint he have done that outside the room? Whatever , didint matter now , He was full , no plans to make lunch of pukey and his partner he had named 'oh-god' as thats all he said.

Clacking again , diffrent tho. Steps , highheels , planned. Who was she? She looked...wonderfull , deliquiet and strong at the same time , like some sort of cross breed of a exotic dancer and a buissness women of the biggest corporation. Did that make sence? Probably not. Didint matter. With more planned steps she whent to Nicholas , offered him a hand and smiled so sweetly , innocently...delicuisely...no , full now. Maby later. "Why dont you come with me Nick? I'm sure we can find something better for you to eat...you can keep the bones if you like them that much."

That was...all he needed. Nicholas grinned , crunching down on the rib and shattering it between his teeth as he took her hand , pulled himself up and winked at her "So long as you will accompany me beautifull , i'm sure I can find time for dinner."

Nicholas stared forward as he dragged a leather glove covered finger across his necklace , his memory had ended , wonderfull. With a sigh he started to move again , he had been standing still outside the meeting room for awhile now and when he got in he took a seat , smiling to the mustached man sitting at the head of the table "Good mornin' boss. Lust fulled night I hope?"
