Prompt: escape
Asylum
Joyce always enters the ward with a cup of coffee, as if that will protect her.
Today Joyce’s second favorite nurse, Leanne, tells her Buffy is restless, so Joyce stands outside and sucks down her lukewarm coffee, watching through the window as her daughter fights against her restraints.
She hates this place. Every time she’s here, she wants to escape. She wants Buffy to escape from whatever is in her mind.
But she has to go fight with the insurance company, so as the new drug kicks in, she sighs and tosses her cup in the trash and walks away.
