Josh is strapped to a gurney and willed into the asylum, he tries to talk to someone, but they all have straight faces dressed in white, and minding their own business. He tries to look into their eyes but they are not looking at him, they are trying to get him into the ward and move on to the next patient. If he struggles and gives the nurses any trouble, he would be injected and placed in a special room. This is to ensure he does not harm to himself or others. Josh is aware of what might happen if he struggles or tries to tell them that they are making a big mistake, he is indeed sane and could not figure out what he was doing there. “Its okay shhh…., it’s alright Mr. Josh you’ll feel better in no time. ‘’ said a nurse.
As josh approaches the ward he eventually tries to reason with them, and tell them he was not crazy, that he did not know how he got to the institution. The nurses saw this as a rant and that he was indeed insane, they told him he will get better and when he became aggressive they gave him the other option. He was going to be strapped in a straight jacket and locked in a room for about two days he will not be allowed out, and no one will be allowed to come in. He was going to be in prison state. After being told this he became calm but still told them that he was normal and that he wanted to go home.
He was scheduled to see the doctor to be examined; Mr. Cheney, the doctor was tall with gray hair and bright eyes and a really calm but strong voice.
Mr. Cheney- Hi Mr.…… ahhh( he looks through his file)……. Josh hemming worth, am I right?
Josh- Yes (stuttering)…..yes sir
Mr. Cheney- my name is Edward Cheney but you can call me Ed.
Josh- josh nods, why am I here
Mr. Cheney- you tell me, why do you think you are here
Josh- I am not crazy, but obviously you think I am
Mr. Cheney – Nobody thinks you are crazy we are just here to examine you that’s all. (With a warm smile)
Mr. Cheney- how did you get here?
Josh- I don’t know
Mr. Cheney- where are you from?
Josh- with tears in his eyes, I don’t know. All I know is I am not crazy; you have got to believe me
Mr. Cheney (puts his hand on josh shoulder’s)- it’s alright, it’s okay these things happen but after medication and therapy u’ll be fine and you will remember everything.
Josh(hits Mr. Cheney’s hand away and becomes Aggressive)- I don’t need any fucking medication I am fine, I just don’t know who I am or where I am from, I just know my name and that’s it. You have been a doctor for like what……..20, 25 fucking years and you still can’t see I am not fucking insane.
Josh goes close and holds Mr. Cheney’s shirt you have got to fucking help me, please. The security and other doctors hear the commotion from the room and come to get josh. They pull him away from the doctor, josh kicking and screaming tells the doctor to tell them to let him go. The doctor just turns to him and says everything will be fine. Josh knows they are going to strap him with a stray jacket and put him in isolation. His heart is beating, he is screaming and the same time he is helpless as they are about five doctors holding him down about to put the jacket on him and inject him, then he was to be taken to the isolation room. He shouts and screams I am not crazy….he also repeats this words inside of himself in panic. I am not crazy, I am not crazy, I am not crazy. Then all of a sudden he feels a shake, covered in sweat and still shaky, he opens his eyes. He was not crazy, just dreaming and Eric, his best friend just woke him up.
