Excerpt from short story "Insanity is Reality"
May 06, 2011 1:55:45 AM UTC Post #1

I ran around to the other side of the building separating the quacks from myself. There was already a security officer waiting for me with a sedative. Eyes growing wide and the desire of escape growing I switched gears and ran the other direction, slipping all the way. The officer almost got his grip on me, but the hulking loser was out of shape and probably hasn’t run as much as I have and I got away without hardly any effort. Running around the generator, vents, and air conditioning units until I finally came to a stop at the ledge of the building. With the doctors, nurses and security guards closing in, my old objective to commit suicide in the first place came to the front of my thoughts. Damn it all to Hell, those assholes ruined my chances of returning to the real world with a different outlook on things, but all they cared about was getting their next paycheck. I didn’t want to commit suicide though. I wanted to go on living life without all of these medications, and be a normal person; maybe even have a family.

But instead no, I had to kill myself in order to escape this horrid society, so I jumped onto the ledge and turned around to face the people who had planned on capturing me. Some of the doctors shouting to the security guards to grab me before I did something stupid, but really; it was them that were doing the stupid things. I only smiled my final smile at the security guards before I leaned backward toward my fall and eventual death. The security guards crashed into the ledge and watched me fall. With my forlorn smile plastered to my face, I fell faster, gazing at nothing in specific. It felt like an eternity before I hit the ground, and I saw my life flash before my eyes, I saw all of the terrible things that happened in my life while being stuck in that hellhole.

You know, looking at those flashbacks of my life, maybe it was a better idea to die. I would’ve had nightmares about my experiences no two ways about it. My smile faded and my glassy gaze grew more pronounced as I hit the ground with crushing force to my head, shoulders and neck. My neck immediately broke and a pool of blood grew from underneath my face from where I actually flipped over on my stomach from the uneven amount of weight above my head.

And with that farewell, I leave you forever.

Inspired by:

“Asylum” by Disturbed
“My Dark Place Alone” by Murderdolls

This is really good. I was shocked when they jumped off the ledge. To me it was like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Life can really be like that sometimes.

I like how you are inspired by the Murderdolls. They inspire me too, to paint.

ps I can picture the "hulking loser" trying to run hehe

@Vangoghmetal
Thanks for the support. An excerpt from "Unbound, Unveiled, Unleashed" is next. It's a little bit more violent and sick minded.

I saw Disturbed play a few days ago , and it totally reminds me of the opening video they had playing at the beginning of the show.
