3 and a half

For three and a half minutes the lights went out,
the Dark rolled in,
and I held my breath as footsteps approached.

A turn of the door knob
and
a push to a rusty door
was all it took for It to enter.

Across the room it stood,
then with out a sound
it glided to my side.



I heard a kind smile,
It helped hold my breath.
It's plasticy hold was relentless.

A pair of hands held me down,
I thrashed with all my might.

Lameness gripped my being.

The Darck blurred with inside of eye lids: White

Rage

Arms flew,
Legs kicked,
And daggers were pressed onto my flesh
Just as the smell of Antiseptic assaulted my nose.

The Dorc shifted,

The White of my Eyes spread,

Twisting and turning the room.

SNAP

A hard thud hit me left shoulder.

The lights came back.

The Dorct hid behind disgruntled figures that stood on the on the ceiling. A broken IV line dripping onto my cheek gave the world order. A crumpled oxygen mask to my right hissd almost as loudly as the those whose care I was in.

Once in my bed, the Doctors only shook their heads.
