Solus Ipse

The girl in the padded room.

Noel wakes up in a padded room, walls white and clean, a steel door in front of her.  Somehow she got here, something happened but she doesn’t know what.  Her head hurts.

It’s silent.

“Where is everybody?” she wonders aloud.  She gets up and walks to the door, hitting it with her bare palms.  “IS ANYBODY THERE?”

“No,” purrs a disembodied voice “You arrrrre all alone.”
