"YOU STOLE HER! YOU TOOK HER FROM ME"
The sedative enters my veins and I am limp
I am numb
"g-give her back"
I slur
she is gone

"we have suspected for a long time Holly..."

oh yeah... me.

my mother is screaming.
my mother is yelling
my mother is being taken out

why are they all panicked?
I'm fine.
where is Clare... why did they take her?

"acute... affective. .... delusions... halluc-"

the door slams shut and I hear the metallic click.

three months later I am released.

"a danger to herself and others."
