Will's P.O.V.

It's been five minutes. I'm aware  of how long it's been but it feels like I've been waiting for hours for the Warden to get back. My back is facing the cell door. I thought I wanted him to take as long as he can but I've never been so on edge. As I finish that thought that's when I hear it... The cell door unlocking, opening then closing as a set of heavy footsteps go along with it as I rapidly turn around to see a balding with a suitcase we know as 'the Warden'. "S-sir, what's in the suitcase?!" I ask stuttering at the first part and a bit scared of what awaits in the beautiful, black container. "Will... You are in need of punishment and it is my responsibility to deliver that punishment. Do you understand that?" He asks. "I'm so sorry sir I didn't mean to-to to... To" I say trying to find the words to apologize properly. "Will, Will, Will... Excuses, excuses, excuses... If we actually accepted any excuse then... Well, Ted Bundy would still be alive but don't worry, I'll make you my personal patient. I'll fix you and I've always wanted to use this." The Warden creepily says while opening the suitcase.

The Warden pulls out some sort of thick, brown handle which is attached to a long, brown, snake-like thing which gets thinner at the end and that's when it hits me... It's a whip! (My cousin told me in mental hospitals this is sometimes a treatment used for curing their insanity. Whether it's an actual treatment or not I wanted to put it in) as he pulls it fully out he raises it and whips the floor which makes me flinch and feel even more afraid. I hear the noise which licks my ears and I have no idea what to do. They say things about fear... It's either fight, flight or fright and I'm in the fright stage at the moment... I don't know what to do... Not the foggiest idea. I hear that voice in my head which comes with my hallucinations... It tells me "We have to do something, show no fear." It says those words so calmly as if this is a normal thing... Almost like it has no feelings of sympathy. All I do is quiver in fear. "Will, this isn't just about what you said to nurse Mary. It's also what you see, your brain is flawed and I'll make sure those flaws get erased. These glitches and voices don't just appear out of the blue because I don't see them... Because my brain is perfect. Now stand up and go to the wall, this'll be over in a second. Flawed people won't feel it... That's why your all here and the more I fix you the less pain you'll feel. If I get you to perfection you will feel no pain. Therefore, you'll be fixed and I'll know when and that is when you show no signs of pain and fear." He says.

I go over to the wall behind me and face it while still shaking in fear. I brace myself and try to show no fear but nothing works. Twenty minutes pass which feels like hours and it finally hits me. The whip lands on my back with brute Force, the most pain I've ever felt and not even emotional pain could compare to this. "AAAAAAGGHHH!" I let out the most harshest and earpiercing scream I ever have. I thought it was was over while still feeling the excruciating pain there was another one, another whip which packed even more intense pain and made me scream even luder. So loud everyone in the mental hospital probably heard. "Of course... Why am I not surprised...?" He says irritatedly then exits the cell door as I lay on my side while crying and feeling the stinging pain on my back. I don't even think I can feel the blood running down on back from the pure agony to the point I wondered if blood was even pouring from the scars. As I've mentally said so multiple times I'll say it again but this time I mean it the most... I don't want to be here, I can't even describe how I feel, I just want it to end. It feels like I'm in a long lasting dream I cannot escape no matter how much I want to.

I finally get up after a time I could not count from my recent trauma. I crawl to the bed and climb up on it even though, the effort to get onto it was a lot and get under the covers. Weirdly enough about this freaky place, all the beds are suprisingly soft but still not enough to comfort me over what has just happened. I soon pass out from shock and the pain... I wake up in this cozy bed and remember the events just seconds after which just makes my mood go even more downhill. I sit up and put my knees to my chest and cry as I constantly shake my head sideways... 'How long will I be here? Forever?!' I mentally say. I swing my legs over to the edge of the bed and hang my head then eventually shake it from side to side, the shaking soon gets violent. After of what I presume to be minutes I stop by steadying my head still at the left side and looking straightly at the left direction which is in the same direction as my pillow. I stand up and look at the bed to see blood stains. I gasp and my thoughts are 'What will the Warden think?! Will this piss him off?! What will I do?!' I'm panicking by the minute.

Suddenly I hear my cell door opens and I look over to it to see none other then Nurse Mary. She looks at me with distaste and tells me "Will... We have a group counciling session, follow me." She walks over to me and grips my arms tightly but not as tightly as before. "Wait, we can't go yet, the Warden told me you need a new uniform because of your uhh... Punishment. He told me about that." She says casually as if this is an everyday occurrence. "Is-is... Is-" I stutter. "Spit it out Will!" Nurse Mary yells at me clearly impatient. "Is this normal...?!" I ask hesitantly and successfully didn't stutter. "Nope, just you." She says casually again. "But-but you seem like this is an everyday thing?!" I say spreading my own opinion. "Well I can't say you don't deserve it for what you said..." She says coldly. "Well-I-I-uh... I-" I again stutter beacause I don't know what to say and am also interrupted by Nurse Mary. "Will, the Warden will be here to give you another uniform since your blood must've stained it and he doesn't want anyone to see that..." She says unsympathetically. "I-I'll see the Warden again?!" I say going into fear again even though I was as scared as I woke up already. "One thing he asked was what's your name... That's weird."
