Day 24: Intercom, Dusk
The intercom jingle sounded, as loud and obnoxiously upbeat as usual.
"Long day, hmm? I trust that enough got done to satisfy both you and your family--who, remember, will be visiting you within the week--and to give you all a sense of personal fulfillment! I also hope that our new patients find a good time here at Landel's Institute as well as mental stability.
"Hrm... yes, I do believe that's all for today, though... Nurses, would you kindly pick up the patients who were assigned to undergo our special round of counseling tonight? Thank you. Good night, everyone, and pleasant dreams!"
The intercom clicked off again, and it was only a matter of time.
