With the sun’s rise screams pierced the air, jolting Lucille from her medicated coma like slumber. She looked about the whitewashed prison and grimaced. the only colour that mimicked any of her existence was the faded black Sharpie stain, bold and verboden on the south wall, as she faced west. Another scream pierced the air, and Lucille clutched her ears. She could clearly hear the shrieking patient down the hall; three doors …show more content…
“What are you?” Lucille’s broken voice returned, just as emotionless as the nurse’s from earlier.
“Crazy, just like you. Why else would I be in here with all these other freaks?”
“Are you a girl, boy, neither, both, other, what?” She nudged the crossed legs again.

For the next three days Lucille left Serafin alone, and refused to even breathe in his direction. On the fourth day, she sat in his chair waiting for him. She refused to get up when he ordered her to, and invited him to sit on the ottoman that rested before her.
