Cassandra Hall
"I miss the sky, the rain, the sun...I miss it all."
"I miss the sky, the rain, the sun...I miss it all."
Andy's head perked up as she heard yelling from down the hall, pressing her hand against the polymer wall, banging on it slightly as she scratched at the creases, looking around wildly to try and pin point the voices she had heard. First one and then another, both unfamiliar. Actually, she had heard one before, but it was fairly new, not like her voice. It had been here for 730 days, 24 months, 2 full years. "He-help! Someone...Help! Get me out of here! Walls! Floor! Ceiling! Walls! Floor! Ceiling!" Andy screamed. The yelling continued, voices swimming around her, scents, emotions, bodies. [color=#006891"Stop! Stop! Stop!"[/color] She covered her ears with her hands as she yelled at the people talking. The cold water was seeping from the floor and into her bones, making her shake uncontrollably. Another bad side effect of the medication wearing off, she could feel everything, nothing was numbed or blanked away. The world was now a vivid and frightening place to Andy. The sound of a slot opening made her shriek, jumping back with cat like reflexes to land on the balls of her feet on the mattress of her bed. A man dressed in white set a tray down on the floor through the slot, closing it once it was on the watery ground. "Eat up." The man chuckled, continuing on with a cart of other trays with food and medication. Crawling forward on hands and feet she approached the tray, bottom lip quivering as she sat down on the wet floor, putting the plate on her lap as she used shaky fingers to pick up the pills and place them on her tongue, swallowing painfully.
