Sanity
It started to rain as I got down from the ramshackle bus at the edge of the nondescript town. "Which way is the Nowhere Inn?” I asked the man hidden behind the newspaper. There was no response.
“Can you tell me which way…”
“Aren’t we all looking for the way…” the man had strangely glowing eyes. I noticed he had his paper open upside down. “I have an easier route for you…” He flicked out a knife.
Suddenly, a huge van with the legend NEW HOPE ASYLUM drew up.
It was time for me to return to my nightmarish home.
