I HEAR A SCREAM in the darkness, but I can&039;t tell whether it&039;s co or outside In the s has lost its for I&039;ve been here I tried counting the drips, but my tired brain can&039;t keep track, and now the noise each drip makes is like a hammer blow to the head I can&039;t stay still, but I can&039;t hten evenit&039;s been since I last drank anything, butsteadily I won&039;t shout out and put ed scuetme chained up and in the dark I&039;et towhat it&039;s supposed to I pissed myself a while back What else could I do? It was either that or shout for Mallon Now I&039; urine It ar now, and I stink That bastard has reduced me to this, but I won&039;t let his and arht it could hurt so et up and walk around And God, I&039; so bad it feels like it&039;s turning itself inside out Don&039;t knohat I&039; to think about it until it happens Have to try to keep myself distracted, but it&039;s i and when I can&039;tI&039; to be here

Stop

Focus

This is what he wants He&039;s trying to push e It won&039;t work I won&039;t let it work

Leg&039;s itching again Worse than before

Helicopter Long way off

How long before you go crazy in the dark? A kid at school-long, long tio-said it was just hours if there&039;s absolutely no light at all Pointless thinking about ti here Part ofto wish Joseph Mallon would coht I&039;d actually look forward to seeing one of the Unchanged, but staring at that evil piece of shit&039;s face would be better than lying here staring at nothing, just thinking Don&039;t like being able to think like this Makes ht Makes hts about Ellis-how close I ot to her and how far I am from her noithin a couple of miles of Lizzie&039;s sister&039;s house, and now I could be anywhere

What&039;s ? Is she already dead? Is she in another roo? Is she in the room next door? What if Mallon doesn&039;t come back? What if I&039;ve fucked up and blown my chance with him? What if he leaves me here to starve to death, strapped to a piss-soaked bed?

What a fucking failure All that noise and fighting and bullshit-four et beaten by an unfit, overweight Unchanged who looks like he couldn&039;t fight his way out of a paper bag He can&039;t be the only one running this place There were at least four out on the street when they got me, and none of them were as fat and out of shape as Mallon

Thinking about the street makes me think about the hospital and how I criticized Paul for running headfirst into a one-sided fight that I thought was a setup At least he went out fighting For all I know he ht still be out there while I&039;et scared

The dripping noise is getting louder and faster

Thought I felt soht I saw a flash of light

A out ofcrazy in the dark? Need to keep focused, so I try to remember Ellis&039;s face But the harder I concentrate, the less I see I&039;et what she looks like The face I see now isn&039;t her, it&039;s a combination of the faces of the feral kids we found in the school thisor whenever the hell that was

Leg hurts

Just want to scratch that fucking itch
