Cde. Sophie sits slumped and glassy-eyed on the splintered wooden chair in the near empty, windowless room across from her stripped bed, its arm and leg restraints dangling above the concrete floor. Silence, aside from a periodic mechanical whirr emitted by the close circuit camera perched in the corner and the heavy sighs Sophie manages every so often. How long has it been now? 5 years? 10 years? It doesn't matter.
The silence is soon broken by an all too familiar noise, the rattle of pills on the creaky medical guerney outside her door and the metallic clinking of keys tumbling over one another. The door slowly opens, revealing the large framed sillouhette in the shape of a traditional nurses uniform. "Dinner time, Chris", chides a thin reedy voice.
Sophie remains seated, but begins to squirm. "Come now, be a good boy for Nurse Anderson, no fuss this time." Sophie stops motionless, her shoulders slumping in defeat. The nurse smiles. "Come along Christopher, no need to be an angry ant today" says the nurse, moving closer toward Sophie, a large plastic cup of pills in her oversized hand. Sophie remains still. "Christopher!" screams the nurse, simultaneously forcing Sophie's limp hand to her neck, still smiling while purposefully throwing the cup of pills to the floor. "Guards! Help! She's attacking me!" the nurse cries out, still smiling.
Two large men come charging through the tiny door, immediately shielding the nurse from "harm", then grabbing Sophie and roughly slamming her to the bed with no resistance except a muffled murmur. The larger guard hovers over the frail figure on the bed, while the smaller grabs the leg restraints, the buckles making a soft metallic clinking against the iron bed frame while in the background the nurse scrambles to get the strewn pills back in the plastic cup. Immediately Sophie begins to struggle, the noise of the buckles setting off an almost Pavlovian response in her. A sharp slap across the face from the larger guard forces Sophie to lay still. Soon the restraints are in place, the guards giving a quick glance to the nurse who nods as they shuffle back outside.
Slowly, the nurse make her way toward the restrained victim and sits on the edge of the bed, still smiling as she tightens an arm restraint one last time. "Now, where were we? Ah yes, dinner time. Tonight we have... oh look here" says the nurse, grabbing a large pill from the cup and holding it upright above Sophie's head. "Thorazine! Ooh, we have a lot of these to get through, let's not rush things" says the nurse, forcing the pill roughly into Sophie's blood stained mouth with a gloved finger, then reaching back to grab another from what seems like an endless supply of identical pills.
