Asylum

by Bill Bernico

What do you suppose would happen if, through a series of unfortunate events, you found yourself trapped in an asylum and couldn't get out again? Alma, our main character in this bizarre tale, finds herself in just such a predicament. Now she's on the run, down the halls and corridors of Pine Haven Sanitarium with a tall, husky orderly in white hot on her heels. She finds refuge in one resident's room but soon wishes she'd stayed to face the orderly. Now how will Alma get out of this mess? Or will she? Find out, but don't read this story late at night, alone.
