《Stonehearst Asylum》Part 5
Advertisement
Patient 102 has finally found out her name with the help of nurse Jackie. Nurse Jackie helps Meredith remember who she was by telling her the real reason she came to Stonehearst Asylum, but first asking "Meredith? Is it okay that I call you by your real name?", Meredith replies "Yes. It will also help me get used to it", nurse Jackie continues "Okay, Meredith. I found out that you are currently suffering from amnesia you got from a head trauma that happened earlier this year when you were trying to escape a hidden/sealed room somewhere here, where your sister Julia was tortured or shall I use the professional terminology; treatment sessions, until nurse Phoebe intervened during her session times and tried to help her escape which she successfully did, however, there was an unfortunate consequence where she became confined and taken to the hidden room which became her personal death bed."
Overwhelmed with disturbing information, Meredith becomes more and more curious to know what happened to her exactly. She wants to know more so she pushes Jackie to give answers in detail. Jackie reassures her before she continues "Don't hurt your brain nerves from thinking too much about what I'm saying and about say. I don't want you to fall into a traumatic state." Meredith responds glaring at Jackie with a bewildered look on her face "just continue".
"Well, okay, sweetie." says Jackie with a side smile faintly dejected, "You were a doctor here. Doctor MH Winsler. You were looking for Julia after she went missing. Julia in fact is most likely alive, but lord knows where. Little did you know, you were made to think Julia was Phoebe who went missing at the same time as Julia. You found a file patient 102, you figured it out until..." she took a deep breath "...until your ex husband declared you mentally unstable by connecting you with Julia because he was having an affair with Doctor Bloom, who happened to be a senior which you found out when you caught them red - handed. Doctor bloom told you to keep it between them and not involve others in the matter, but..".

Meredith slowly begins to get her memories back "but I refused and let the whole ward hear about my husband's infidelity with Dr Bloom in detail. And Dr Bloom out of rage and embarrassment did this to me by having me be tortured with an electricuter and lock me up as a patient. After I lost my memory she left, thinking I had gone crazy for good." staring at blank point, her eyes fill with water about to pour out exposing her desolated soul.
Now Meredith has regained her memory, plans a way of getting out of this hell hole. Nurse Jackie plans on helping her, she has attached her emotions so deeply to Meredith's past that she can't back out of helping her.
Nurse Jackie, once again asks the warden for help in getting a release form for Meredith. She contacts Meredith's mother-in-law to help sign the release form and take her out of the asylum as her guardian. Warden gets info that only Meredith's husband, Peter can release her from her imprisonment at Stonehearst because he put her in that position. Jackie and Meredith are told by the mother-in-law that Peter moved out right after Meredith had gone for a months. She also adds, "rude, young woman he was seeing might know where he is.", by 'rude young woman' both assume it's Dr. Bloom. This makes it harder for Meredith to be a free woman.
Dr. Bloom has no idea that Meredith got her memory back and can take legal action for what Dr Bloom had done to her, if she gets out. So, nurse Jackie pretends like she stopped researching. Jackie asks her manager for a break.
During her break, she stumbles upon an address under the name Sarah Bloom, with the help of the Warden at ward 11. Jackie makes her way to Sarah Bloom's door, an unfamiliar woman opens the door asking Jackie what she wants, with a bitter attitude.
Jackie responds in a well manner, "Hi, I'm actually looking for Dr. Bloom, I'm not sure if this is her address?", the stranger replies "I am her. what do you want from me?" she asks. "I.. actually received a note from you. I'm Jackie, btw, a nurse at Stonehearst." She notices why Jackie is at her front door and out of fear of it becoming a legal matter, she says in rush, "Whatever it is, I can't help, sorry".

Jackie steps her foot down, without leaving the door trying to convince Sarah saying, "I just came here to say, the note got to me, I stopped. And.. um.. it's not worth losing my job for, helping a patient find their past is too much work, especially for a small person like me." she gains sarah's trust and so she is invited in.
They discuss past and other female related things, til Jackie notices a picture of a man holding Sarah cosily, she picks the photo up and looks at it wondering who this mysterious stranger may be. To her luck, Sarah explains, "Ah, that is the love of my life, Peter. He finally set himself free from this wretched woman he was forced to be with. I haven't seen him since 2 days ago though." As Jackie is departing, she asks Sarah, "I enjoyed the company, we should hangout more, how about that new bar across the street tonight.. what's it called..?" to which Sarah agrees "Sure. I think it's Black Swan".
That night, Jackie and Sarah have a few drinks and enjoy themselves. Sarah reveals everything that Jackie already knows out of intoxication from all the alcohol they had. Jackie walks Sarah home to a hot-tempered man, who looks exactly like Peter. Sarah and Peter argue that night as Jackie watches from a distance.
Peter agrees to driving Jackie home, while in his car, she asks a few questions about the 'wretched' woman Sarah was going on about earlier, "Sarah said something about a wretched woman you freed yourself from, must've been quite a journey." Angering Peter even more requests her to stop talking. He drops her home and goes back to deal with Sarah.
Jackie began wondering what happened and why her head feels so heavy all of a sudden, she hurries to her bed and lays her head to rest on her cool comfy pillow.
Jackie wakes up the next morning with a displeasuring headache, she tries to clear her mind and head back to Sarah's. As she is about to proceed towards Sarah's door, Peter intercepts, "Why do you keep coming back? Sarah might not see through you, but I surely can! Who the hell do you think you are interfering in our personal matter?! Just leave us be".
Jackie ignores him and moves aside continuing towards the door, all of a sudden, Peter grabs ahold of her arm and prevents her from moving any further, threating to call the cops. Jackie doesn't take the threat so seriously, "Go ahead. I'll just tell them my side as well, I'm sure the bruises you are currently applying to my skin will remain by the time they're here." He let's her go and asks her, "Why are you doing this? What are you trying to gain", she replies, "information.", "About what?" with an obscure appearance on his face, he asks.
She then tells him, "How about your ex, Meredith? Was it? Or do you also call her by patient 102?", outraged by that response, he quickly shoves her to one side, keeping their distance short, whispering, "What about Meredith?!". Jackie asks he sign a few papers for her release, which at first he hesistantly declines, but somehow Jackie convinces Peter, by using threats against him.

Sod's Law (Dropped)
This fiction has been dropped, you're more than welcome to read it anyway (there is sort of an ending). But you have been warned... Sod's law is a more extreme version of Murphy's law. While Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong (eventually), Sod's law requires that it always goes wrong with the worst possible outcome. For example, concepts such as "bad fortune will be tailored to the individual" and "good fortune will occur in spite of the individual's actions" are sometimes given as examples of Sod's law in action. This would broaden Sod's law to a general sense of being "mocked by fate". In these aspects it is similar to some definitions of irony, particularly the irony of fate. - Definitions of Sod's Law on Wikipedia. The protagonist, as many before them, and many who followed, thought they were just entering a VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing-Game). Unbeknownst to them however, was a short paragraph in the Terms & Conditions, that, upon agreement, would actually transport them to a fantasy world, loosely based on the game they thought they were entering. - Something anyone could be forgiven for, no-one reads them after all. In this new world, they discover that people are born with “Traits”, a System recognised, ability, skill, or talent, that they are born with. Sod's Law was not a trait they, or anyone else for that matter, would want. Pure madness follows. Yup, this is about a character transferred to a fantasy game-world with the worst luck imaginable. This is my first fiction so I apologise for any grammar and spelling mistakes that may be made. Hopefully it is readable, and if so please tell me! But if it's not, also tell me, but in a constructive way if at all possible? Due to the nature of the “Trait” the story will be dark in places, with plenty of gore and profanity, hence the tags. There may also be scenes of a sexual nature, but nothing full on – sorry guys but you'll have to go elsewhere for that.

Devil's Basement: Colony Ragnarok
Far beneath the surface of a planet wrapped in a toxic atmosphere, competing political ideologies stare each other down over a heavily militarised line that cuts through the city on their border. Among the dark rail tunnels and mine shafts are an unfinished treaty up for negotiation; a fanatical terrorist group with questionable backers; and ordinary people caught in the middle. In this claustrophobic environment, those who desire peace must act quickly or these tunnels will collapse in the fires of war. _____ This story is based on a role-playing map game I GM'd awhile ago. The four main characters are based on the four players from that map game, and the general sequence of events follows the game as well. Cover art: inncect (formerly astrxphoria) from wattpad.com, where this story was first published.

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.

Candle burning in the dark
This is the story of Alyssa and Mireille, two girls in a world of Magic. They are forced to leave their homes by differing circumstances and must come to terms with their own magical abilities and the problems those bring. Alyssa is hunted for what she is, while Mireille is not certain what and who she wants to be but drifting along is not an option when her life is on the line. They live in a world that is torn by strife where humanity is not the pinnacle of existence. This is a world of high fantasy. It is my first written story. I am a non-native speaker. I will not go out of my way to shock people but the content will at times be traumatizing for sensitive people. At the moment I would guess the story to be PEGI 16 perhaps? It's light on the profanity at least? Cover from unsplash.com
