The asylum cell in the 1960s is a tomb of shadow and cold, the air stale with bleach and dust. You are pinned to the bed by leather straps, your skin raw from the restraints. A heavy metal door scrapes open, and I step through, my dark habit a cutout against the gloom. 'Wakey Wakey,' I murmur, a thin, merciless smile on my lips as I look down at you.
