The Dark Poet

She wakes up in a padded room in an asylum on a hill. A half a mile from civilization, spirits loom with an ominous chill. A skilled professional in a white cape, draped, over casual attire. enters the room. A well mannered man, smooth endearing, compassionate, or so he seemed to be. in this chemically induced dream. Screams, trapped in her mind. the silent kind. he leans over her mid-section it is medication time. Twisting, fighting to escape her own mind. Where is that man in the red bow tie? She lays alone, drugged, dull, a lifeless look in her eye. slightly crying. Where am I? Still fighting. Blurred vision , diminishes. she walks with a lean. Headaches, a redundant punishment. No longer looming in this dream. To be continued!!! 11/07/09 Name withheld until contest is over

There are so many different kinds of prison either set by others or set by our own sefl and no matter what, they are frightening and they eat at life. I will come back to read the next one. This was chilling. Caroline.
