I don't know why you are showing me this, doctor…

Can I go home now?

NO COMMENT.


 
Fifth session.I know, I know, I'm a mess… I was convinced today was Friday. You know, it was a bit weird yesterday. I woke up in another person's house! The room I woke up in was in a room with green walls and IKEA furniture.
 

The first thing I though when I woke up was: this is not my bed. I was in shock. I looked under the sheets and was relieved to find that I was dressed. Thank Gawd! I swear I didn't know what had happened! I remember I was visiting Clara at the hospital… she cut her hand with a kitchen knife, you know… She was lucky not to loose an eye! But she's got stitches on her face.. it's going to cost her a fortune to get those removed with plastic surgery… I told her she should always open plastic bags with some scissors.
Anyway, I was sitting there, thinking about how and why karma had taken me there when I suddenly realise there was a strange humming noise.
 
I didn't move. I just sat there and analysed the sound. Then I realised what it was: the tram! That's more than 15 stops away… How on earth did I get there? Maybe I was kidnapped…
As I carefully got out of that horrible bed and carefully got out of there, I realised that there were a lot of paintings hanging from the wall. It was amazing! There were more than many museums… but there wasn't a living soul in the house.
 
I tiptoed through to the next room. There wasn't anyone in the living room either, just a pile of hunting trophies.
I didn't like the silence… I crept up to the door and I opened the door trying not to make a sound. Of course, it squeaked… I held my breath… my heart was pounding in my ears… beating like a drum… my ears were about to burst… but there was no one there….
 
The next thing I can remember is walking down the corridor towards your office… and here I am.
Doctor… tell me… this is beyond me… What is going on about? Why can't I remember anything?
Doctor…
Doctor!
Say something doctor! I think I'm going in sane…
Tell me, doctor… what on earth… what is going on?
The hospital?
