Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy.
A few days had passed now. Or… where it weeks?
He couldn’t tell.
At least they had decided to release him from the restrains again. They had learned that things got only worse if he couldn’t move for longer…
Like a caged tiger he paced up and down in his little cell.
He needed to think. Last time... how was it last time?
He bent down towards the small crack in the wall. He looked at it… for about the hundredth time now…? It was still just a simple little damage in the surface of the wall. No golden light to see… no forest behind. He stood up again, continued the walk through his cell.
But, how did he get behind last time?
And what was with this necklace they found on him? Well… ‘necklace’ he giggled, either the Doc was really stupid… or he called it like this on purpose. Actual it was a so called ‘dog tag’, rather his old dog tag.
Up and down… again and again while his thoughts circled around in his head.
He lost his tag years ago… actually he threw it away… so it was impossible that this was his. But it was.
He started to hum a little melody… an old German lullaby… that lullaby he sang las time when the Doc asked his stupid questions again.
He giggled… oh… how he hated that man. If he only had the chance, he would kill him… but oh, not quick… no, no... he would take his time… slow would it be… oh yes, slow…
He shook his head, no time for things like that now, hush!
Short and hysterical laughter escaped his throat. He brushed back his hair.
”Mhh… ruhig bleiben, ruhig…” (stay calm, stay calm)
The strangest thing about this dog tag was… that it has the sign on it, that floated over his head while he was on the forest. His pictogram were impressed on it.
” Also gut…warum …? Das Pictogram… villeicht… warum ist es auf der Marke… ? Das hat etwas zu bedueten… vielleicht… ja vielleicht soetwas wie ein Schlüssel?” (Very well then… why…? The pictogram… maybe… why is it on the tag? That means something… maybe… yes maybe something like a key?)
Yes! Of course! The dog tag… it has to be some kind of… key? Or at least, it has to be some kind of… ‘magical’ item that could bring him back into the forest.
He started to laugh again, but this time he couldn’t stop that soon. Magic? Haha, yes and the next thing he would think of were unicorns and pink elephants.
He lent against the wall with the small crack. His eyes wandered down to look at it once more. Maybe… maybe…
Maybe his little excursion in this mysterious forest with its strange creatures was just another one of his hallucinations or dreams…
He put his head against the cool wall. One of his distorted grins crept in his face.
No, his dreams were different… more bizarre… more violent…
Not that peaceful.
Anyways… he somehow needed to get his hands on that dog tag. But … of course it was impossible to just ask for it…
Sudden noises from the door put an end to his train of thoughts.
It opened, in the same moment the lights went on. Painful white flooded the little room.
Jack put down his head again and closed his eyes because of the blinding light.
He heard footsteps.
”Hello Jack.”
He started to smile.
”Annie.. you’re here? Watcha doing, my dear?” He whispered with a sweet voice ”Hey, Doc, you are here, too,. Yes?” A little louder and harsher.
”No, it’s just Peter. And I suppose you know why I am here.”
So one of the male nurses was with her… and she just came for…
… he felt a sudden but gentle touch on his left arm.
He winced at it and made a fast step backwards, he just could keep himself from attacking the person, that just laid their hand on his arm.
He tired to open his eyes, he wanted to see who was so close to him now…
”It’s okay… I just want to help you.”
He started to grin again.
”Helping me, yes?”
”I know you are unable to see in this bright light. I just wanted to guide you to your bed… I want you to sit down, you know? ”
Allthough he couldn’t see it… for him it sounded like she was smiling.
The white haired man started to giggle.
”So, so, so… you want me on the bed, yes? Why don’t you said that ?”
He reached out for her, felt the gentle touch again. He was guided to the bed and sat down.
”Take off your shirt, please.”
”As you wish, my darling.” He snickered.
The male nurse made some unpleased noise.
The daily routine begun. Checking blood pressure , listening to his heartbeats… the usual things
… since they regularly apply him drugs this was necessary.
In secret he was wondering if that light haired woman… Annie... knew about his many scars… or if she just had this surprised look on her face, that so many got when they saw his battered skin. The scars in his face were not the only ones, but the worst.
”There’s something I have to tell you, Jack.”
Her voice called him back again.
”What is it, love?”
He asked while he put on his shirt.
”Your sister, she wants to talk to you.”
He started to laugh.
”She’s not my sister… we are not related by blood.”
She also started to laugh, sweet and gentle.
”Yes, I know, I just got used to call her like that...you know, everyone does. But however, Dr. Cleaver gave his permission… under… certain conditions…”
”Mh, mhmh… of course he did... he thinks I will tell her some secrets about my little… escape, yes? But ach was solls, I will play his little game, yes?”
He turned his head towards her, smiled at her with still closed eyes.
”Then we will bring you there …”
”… tomorrow evening.”
”Sorry?”
”I am tired my love, yes?” He snickered again. ”My little sister is a little… ah mh… exhausting you know? I don’t want to see her this evening… I need to sleep now, yeha…”
He dropped back and laid down on the bed.
”Ah well.. I think that’s okay… as well.”
She sounded a little irritated.
He grinned.
”Good night , my dear …!”
Someone opened the door again.
”Good night, Jack.” Again, she sounded like she were smiling…
The lights went off, the door were closed again.
Jack opened his eyes, immediately he started to grin.
”Wunderbar”
