HAPPENINGS IN A MENTAL ASYLUM
The full moon could not illuminate the darkness that shrouded the dark moss covered building which housed mentally troubled patients.
A piercing scream broke through the silent night, but James did not care.
"Another patient having a psychotic episode." He said to Nurse Jackie. Her bright orange uniform was in sharp contrast to the pristine white room. She grinned at him with a twinkle in her beady eyes.
"You have to take care of them, James. Even if it means killing them to save innocent lives."
He thought of the unfortunate people locked up in straitjackets in the cells and nodded.
James sighed and towards the room causing the ruckus. Just as he was about to open the door, a body slammed against it.
"Nurse Jackie, ready the injection."
He equipped himself with a long syringe and opened the door to find one of the inmates slumped against the door. He looked up to see a man thrashing his head trying get his arms free. His eyes were bloodshot and the gag in his mouth was chewed up.
"I'll get you! You can't do this." he said stumbling forward.
James calmly inserted the syringe in his forearm.
The man's eyes drooped and then opened a bit wide when an unholy scream came from somewhere in the room James looked around to see another man making his way towards them. His eyes remained focused on James as he ran at him with a knife.
"Jackie, help me!" But there was no reply from the nurse.

That's quite the action-packed flash fiction piece, @diebitch. From the news clipping, we can only assume James survived the attack. Thanks for sharing your story in The Ink Well, and thank you for supporting your fellow writers in the community.
That is definitely one job you could not pay me enough to do. Managing patients with varying abilities to grasp reality has got to be challenging, even on the best days!
Reading this story felt like I was strapped to a roller-coaster while somebody was shaking me by the shoulders. What a ride! It's great that you didn't get too detailed about the violence, but instead you painted a picture for us. Some of the greatest moments in horror are those that show the chaos around the events like the scene in the Shining when Jack delivers the immortal lines, "Here's Johnny!"
Yay! 🤗

I love your blog. I wish I had more time.
Somehow I'm thinking Jakie was born in a mental asylum.
