Chapter 1
It was the summer of year 2021 and a fifteen-year-old boy named Shawn woke up at an unknown location. He had been asleep for three days, still he was up much earlier than expected. The temperature in the room made him uncomfortable. He got up and stayed in the bed for a while wondering where he was and for how long. He looked around as his vision slowly returned to normal while his head felt dizzy. As he looked around, he realized that there was a window in the room but it was grilled, unfortunately. He would have considered running away from the place otherwise.
He missed his home and his parents as he imagined they must be worried. The worst part was, he couldn’t even remember how he ended up at the place where he was. He thought it was some kind of mistake and he would be taken back to his house soon. He needed to talk to someone, but there was no sign of anybody. He peeked through the window and gazed in all directions. Sadly, he saw nothing but an empty field. No sign of any human, nobody. He kicked the table next to him in frustration, and a few books fell down from it. He kicked it again and again until the door of his room suddenly swung open and a woman with a worried look came in. She looked at the books that lay on the floor.
“You should keep them back on the table. Books are of great value here.”
“Where am I?” asked Shawn. The woman did not reply, but just stared at Shawn.
“Okay.” Said Shawn and put the books on the table, “Now tell me,”
“You are at the Mind Care facility.” Said the woman, “I am DR. Tanya and my job is to make sure you are alright before you begin the school without burdening yourself by your past. My duty has begun earlier than expected though. You woke up in just three days. Most children take weeks to open their eyes here.” She said.
“How long will it take for me, you know, to forget my past?” asked Shawn.
“It is all relative. But considering your performance in the first week, I think you will just do great.” Said Dr. Tanya, and Shawn was pleased with her compliment.
“Now if you need something, you don’t have to make strange noises.” Said Dr. Tanya with a smile, “There’s a button next to your bed. You can just press that and someone present would assist you. Don’t worry. You will attend the school shortly.”
“The school?” frowned Shawn.
“Of course. What do you think we got you here only to keep you locked up in a room?” said Tanya.
“I don’t like school much.” Said Shawn innocently, and Tanya laughed.
“Don’t worry. This school isn’t that bad. You will have plenty of surprises to see there. I am sure you are going to love it.” Said Tanya. Shawn looked down.
“Now what happened?” asked Tanya.
“I miss my parents.” Said Shawn with head down.
“I can understand,” Tanya clutched Shawn’s hand, and he looked up, “But you will be with them soon.”
“Really?” Shawn raised his eyebrows in excitement.
“Why not? And besides, this is like your new home. You would never feel the discomfort of being away from your parents while you are at school. You can trust me on that,” said Tanya, and Shawn nodded in affirmation.
“Now C’mon. Get out of this tiny room and see the gigantic campus around you waiting to be explored. You can try a sandwich or two in the canteen if you are hungry. It’s delicious if you ask me.” said Tanya with a smile.
“Would you come with me?” asked Shawn.
“l I would love to but I have got patients to see. Some other time maybe?” said Tanya.
“Alright.” Said Shawn, “But tell me where do I go once I finish the school? To my parents?”
“That’s an interesting question,” said Tanya, and put her hands on Shawn’s shoulders. “But I don’t think I am the right person to answer that. You will find it out by yourself, eventually. Whatever it is, it would be for the better.”
“What do you mean, whatever it is? Will there be over one choice in the end?”
“Something like that. You are smart, eh?” said Tanya and Shawn shrugged. A nurse called out for Dr. Tanya from the passageway and Tanya waked to her. She whispered something to the nurse while checking the reports and came back to Shawn.
“Well, I need to go now. But if you find any trouble settling in, you know what to do.” She said, looking at the bell next to Shawn’s bed. Shawn nodded with a smile.
“Very well then. I will see you around.” Said Tanya as she slowly walked out of Shawn’s room. Her footsteps, because of her heels, made a rhythmic sound. Shawn jumped back on his bed and tried to get some more sleep. There literally wasn’t anything else to do for people who did not like to read or found it difficult to explore unknown places. He, instead, stared out of the window. He pulled the chair back and took the table, which had a pleasant view of the campus. He put his elbow on the table and fixed his chin over it as he stared. He rolled his eyeballs slowly around the campus. It felt peaceful and serene although the temperature was too high for someone like him who came from a place which was almost always cloudy. Apart from his parents, Shawn missed one more thing so dearly. The rain. There was no sign of it as of now.
Since it was summer at its peak, it would get so hot and dry sometimes that he would have to drink water thrice as much as he would usually do to keep himself hydrated. His mouth would often become dry, and he had to make sure that he consumed a lot of liquid to avoid any complications. He was fortunate that there was an availability of all the things he needed to keep him healthy. He had realized that the faster he shows the sign of a healthy individual, the quicker and easier his escape would be. He thus had to make sure that he remained healthy at all times. He was impatient to meet his parents again. However, he was also curious now about the step towards that. The School.
Chapter 2
Shawn was sweating by the time he opened his eyes. It was a nightmare. He would often go through unusual dreams, which would take him a few minutes before he could come back to reality again. He saw his parents that night, in a dream. It was obvious. He had been thinking about them a lot. Worrying if they would be okay. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and got out of the bed. It was late evening. The passageway and his neighbors had lights on and his was the only dark room left on the floor. The staff did not disturb Shawn at all and he did not consider switching the lights on, either. Sometimes he just preferred the darkness. It well suited his mood. He looked out of the window to cheer himself up. His face sparkled in the light because of the lamp just outside his window.
