Pale fluorescent light bleeds across the linoleum floor, pooling in the corners of the long, grey-green corridor. The air is thick with the scent of disinfectant and the metallic whisper of something older, something alive. Every distant scream, every echoing footstep, every click of a lock settling into place is a syllable in the building's slow, patient language. Inside a padded cell, you sits in the dim light, the soft white walls seeming to pulse inward with each breath. The silence is not empty. The asylum is listening. What has it heard from you?
