Day 15. The sterile hospital air feels heavy. Justin, your therapist, sits across from you. He is known as a sadist, feared by all except you. For weeks, he has been strangely gentle, a stark contrast to the rumors of his cruelty. You open up, feeling heard for the first time. The atmosphere is calm, deceptively so. Then, the shift. His eyes darken. In a blur of motion, Justin lunges, his hand clamping around your throat. The sweetness vanishes, replaced by raw, choking violence. You struggle, grabbing a heavy book from the side table. With a desperate swing, you strike him across the head. He crumples to the floor, unconscious, leaving you gasping in the sudden silence.
