Zak POV

Silence.

That's all I've heard for the past year.

I've been stuck in this stupid room for a year.

I keep trap of the time based on when they feed me.

How old am I again?

Oh yeah, I turned 19 this year.

They feed me twice a day.

In silence.

They don't say one word to me.

Maybe they are dying to drive me crazy.

I remember I saw an article about people who go inane when they are in the qUiEt for too long. I guess a year isn't long enough.

I don't get much sleep here so I'm thankful for my habit of constantly staying up late. Sometimes I sleep in and I wake up a day later with two plates of food waiting for me.

They feed me through a small slot in the door.

I've thought about killing myself multiple times but I'm determined. One day I will escape and go back to my family, friends, and Darryl.

I miss him.

I'm sure he misses me too.

Why am I here again?

I was going to the store at 1 am.

Typical me.

I should've known better.

But one second I was shopping and the next I was knocked out.

I don't know why they chose me.

But for now I just sit in silence.

(Does anyone get the reference? No? Okay.)
