Nightshift 36: MU hallway
[solitary room 1]
Hours of mental confusion, intrusion by the orderlies, clumsy attempts at fighting, and then back into a drugged haze. It felt like it went on forever, over and over, in an unbroken cycle that stretched from the beginning of time until the end.
Then nothing.
Then dark.
The creek of a door swinging open.
Dark.
Arms couldn't move. Legs shaky. Mouth tasted like metal, like blood.
In the darkness, he rolled over, squirmed onto his knees, stood unsteadly. Jerked his arms against the jacket. Dragged his teeth over the collar to test the fabric. Too thick to easy tear.
Renji took an unsteady step, then another toward where he remembered the door being. He crashed into the wall, then leaned on it, slowly inching along until he found the doorway. He jerked his arms, tight against his body, again.
Get this off. Get this off. Then find... knife, sword, anything. He let out a soundless wheeze that might have been a laugh. Teeth'll do.
