To fraternize with people was never my cup of tea. I lay on the bed. They had tied my hands and legs. The effect of tranquilizers was vanishing. Sweat dripped from my face and my body shivered. If only I could get that white powder which makes me drift to my never land where I am not a social threat, where I am not psychotic.
I wonder how was world outside the rehab doing but they won’t let me go outside the gates and see for myself. So I closed my eyes and tried dozing off again.

This post reminds me on One flew over the Cuckoo’s nest. It’s sad, but also so true for some. Great way to interpret the prompt.

Dear Vadeihi,
Addiction and recovery are tough. You’ve captured the mind of the addict.

Interesting take on the prompt, to imagine who might be locked inside, and what they are going through. A very different kind of horror story than so many other stories this week, but horrible nonetheless.
