Jason (Chapter 4)

Lying restrained to the bed
His body was paralysed
By the tranquilizer they injected into his arm
But his mind was actively replaying
The terrifying scenes that happened earlier
The policemen pinning him down onto the bed
Breaking his shoulders
The nurses tying him forcefully
Fracturing his wrists
The doctors laughing at his helplessness
Then giving him a poison injection
Not to kill him but to increase his suffering
His enemies are everywhere around him
He is eternally doomed
Like what the voices told him
He wanted to scream
But no sound came out from his mouth
He wanted to break free
But his hands and legs were beyond his control
He was sinking slowly
In a bottomless pit of darkness
Deeper and deeper into darkness

He didn't know how long he was unconscious
But he certainly felt much better
When he opened his eyes again
His head no longer hurt as much
And the voices seemed to have diminished
Though he was still restrained
The pain on his wrists now seemed more bearable
He turned his heavy head
And caught a glimpse of his surroundings
He was in the hospital ward
With other male patients
Dressed in the same clothing
Some were staring blankly into space
One was talking to the sky
While another was slapping himself in the face

Suddenly he heard a loud bang
An agitated patient just threw a chair against the floor
Then shouted and screamed hysterically
While surrounded by nurses
Who attempted to pacify him
Before restraining him onto the bed

Like a bewildered bystander
Jason wondered if he behaved like that too
When the police escorted him here
He suddenly felt so vulnerable
That he may once again lose control
Of his mind, his body and his soul
To the demons who once possessed him
