The Asylum

This is a short story I wrote my junior year, I though I'd post it and
let people read it.

It is not a happy story, you don't have to read it. It still kind of
disturbs me to be honest.

They all seem to have a strange control over everyone. The people,
they’ve all turned against me! Am I the only one left? I don’t know
if I can save the others. What if there is no one left? Am I the last
hope of humanity? You can tell the bad ones from the extra bad ones.
The worst wear the white coats, while the bad ones just do whatever
they say. Every day and every night they come after to me, trying
to feed me drugs to put them under their control.
They torture me with cold; they think to torture me in solitude.
I can’t fall, I can’t lose. I can save my friends. The people outside,
I know there’s someone there that can help me.
If I can just get out of this…place. It’s white, everywhere is white.
They want to blind me! Dash me of my hope! I can’t let them!
Damn them, they can never take me.

They’re coming for me again. I can hear them, it’s the white coats.
What masters do they listen to? Why do these people do this to me?
What has come over them? They take me, shock me, electrocute me.
They try to feed me their drugs! They want me to give them my mind!
Every day they do this to me, every night the watch me.
Every week they question me. They ask me what I’ve done.
They ask me what did I do with Frank, what did I
do TO Frank? Why won’t they tell me where I am?
What do they want with me? I used to live a normal life.
I had brothers, sisters, I had a family. I even had a fiancé!
Then they betrayed me, they brought me here.
What ever it is that controls these people had my family!
They destroyed them, one by one; they took my family from me!
Every single one! What could cause my family to do this?
What did they take from them? Give to them?
What was it that was worth my life!?
WHY AM I IN HERE?

I’ll get out of here, I don’t know how yet,
but I will. I’ll show every last one of them, they belong in here,
they deserve this torture! I’ll give them worse than this,
every last one. They’ll know the torture I received at their bidding,
the pain it is to be betrayed by the ones you love. They’ll
do this to each other, and then wish for it again after I’m through with
them. Every night they tell me of these horrors I committed,
I did nothing of the sort. What do you mean? I didn't kill anyone,
I couldn't hurt anyone. They hurt me! They put me in this hell!
I never even thought of doing anthing to them...How could I? I loved her!
I loved them! I can’t take this anymore! I did this to no one!
They have no reason to think I would do anything like this.

Could I? Could they tell the truth; the ones that have done me so wrong!? I
Was the one that could do no wrong! They came after ME! THEY TOOK ME AWAY
FROM THE ONES I LOVED!
Or, is that just it? The ones I loved? Do I love them? I do...but did I?
What happened to them? What happened to me? WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME? Just send
me back from where you took me! Let me live in peace! I DID NO WRONG.
They think they're getting to me, the whitecoats think they are incredible
in their powers of persuasion and deceit. Their coated white walls, down to
their petite white coats. They are so full of themselves they can't see that
I can see through them! They don't know the powers that they face in me,
they don't know!

They've arrived.

As I leap at the nearest one they rush towards me to save their comrade. As
I kill them one by one, reveling in their agony and screams. I rush to the
next room, to find there are others they torture, torture just as they did
me. I have no time to save them, no time yet. I will.
The time for my freedom has come! I will destroy them all. And as I finally
break free of them, I look back one last time...At the Asylum...the...Fourth
Mountain insane Asylum? No...NO! I didn't do it! I didn't...Did I?

I did..Didn't I? Every last one?
Why? Can you please tell me why? Oh God, please tell me why.

I need this.

Here's the deal, I'm sort of obsessed with sports. I'm currently sitting at my computer writing a blog when I clearly should be watching, or at least listening to the Jazz game. But NOO I don't have cable, I really don't desire cable, it's just that I really really need ESPN, the mtn., ESPN2, TNT, Versus, and any other channel that BYU or Jazz may ever be broadcast on. These are my needs, does anyone feel the need to oblige?

University!

Recently, I have been attending University of Life, AKA UL. This school offers no degrees, and you even set your own curriculum. I've recently discovered that there is a way to get someone to set your curriculum, but it is the most difficult possible ways through UL. Just getting him to lay out a curriculum is tiresome, and when you do, it is quite truly the most difficult way. It's got it's ups, and downs, both of which are much more extreme in comparison of a normal student. But the things you learn on this, if you don't fall off along the way are far more enriching, and stay with you forever. But what do you except when you ask for God's curriculum?
