River

I wake up in a sterile, white room and immediately notice a little yellow cup with a black, oblong pill next to it. As I get up to try and find where I am, I remember how this happened.

"Get up," they said.

There were two men in crisp, white suits that were dragging me out. I was kicking and screaming "help," but no one came. Then I felt a latex glove on my neck and I was asleep.

As I look up the door opens and I scurry to a corner for protection. In the doorway there is another man with brown hair, green eyes and a sterile, white, doctor's coat with a clipboard. "Ah! You finally woke up!" He half shouted, "You appear to be doing well Juliette!"

I push myself further into the corner.

"No need to be afraid, I'm doctor Jay, welcome to Fern Sanctuary," he announces proudly. He spreads his arms out joyfully like this a path to heaven not a mental asylum.

I scream.
