The weather decided to be fine. Blue the nurse and the other nurse escorted you outside in the grounds. Fresh air if a little cold was welcomed. Being out of the locked ward was promised and now provided. The shrink recommended it at your last meeting with him. You walked with hands in the borrowed coat pockets and old boots from the store cupboard. Blue gave you a cigarette and lit it for you. The other nurse walked behind disinterested in you or being outside. Dinner time you were back inside again to engaged with the cook’s poisonous meal, but the pudding was good; she must have woken up and read a cook book. Briggs attacked the new woman because she got too near to her chair and she gave the big nurse a punch in the eye and was wrestled to the ground and subdued and locked in the cooling down room. Your other self wanted to gouge out Briggs’ eyes, but you kept away from the trouble, and your other self swore and cursed and went down into the dark rooms inside your head. The woman called Lily gave me a cigarette, but said nothing, just stood beside you at the wide window watching the evening sky push away the light of day.
