Redemption thirteen
Anne lay on her bed with overlapping feelings after dinner and took the medicine Cindy brought her. From now on—because she said there was no change in her memory at all—Doctor Diana started prescribing medicine for her.Two white pills of different sizes.Anne only had time to pay attention for a few seconds, because Cindy angrily ordered her to swallow it immediately. Cindy's eyes keenly watched Anne until the medicine completely passed down her throat. Then, Cindy left without a word and locked the door of her room.Anne took a short breath, then rolled over to face the window whose curtains were deliberately opened. She stared at the full moon shining brightly outside, wondering what time it was. Maybe only nine o'clock. She plans to leave at midnight. The guards were probably still out there, so she had to wait until it was quiet. Anne really wanted to meet Emily and ask about the game that Doctor Diana was talking about.Tomorrow, she thought. Tomorrow the game will start.Deep
Redemption fourteen
Early in the morning before sunrise, all the new prisoners were taken to the front yard of the hospital to assemble. There are 15 prisoners. 10 women and 5 men.Anne had just realized there were a lot of new patients coming—all she knew was Manson Miller. They were all ordered to line up neatly in the middle of the yard for inspection. Several detainees who did not heed the orders were immediately whipped hard on the calves. For the first time in weeks, Anne had seen how patients were punished. But apparently, their punishment method wasn't just that.Anne was at the very back and noticed the many guards surrounding them. All the guards seem to be gathered here. When she left her room and descended the stairs to the first floor, all the prison cell doors were locked tightly. Not a single guard in sight.She still didn't know what they were going to do, how the game would go, but seeing how tightly guarded they were, she was starting to feel worried. Her heart pounded as if it was goin
Redemption fifteen
Why was Manson Miller giving her that look? The man had turned his head the other way, but Anne was sure that the earlier expression had been directed at her.His intense gaze… the mysterious glint in his eyes… also his devilish grin… it was all ghastly.Was the man trying to scare her?Anne suddenly felt wary. She didn't want the incident in the backyard to repeat itself, so she absolutely had to avoid him. She wondered if the guards would come if the man decided to finish her off in the forest?There have been no instructions whatsoever as to what they will do. Twenty minutes passed in silence and not a single one of the guards spoke or moved in their place. Even Cindy had turned into a statue standing stiffly beside the gate.What are they waiting for?The familiar sound of heels came from the main door of the hospital, followed by another set of footsteps. More than five people, thought Anne. Her head automatically turned there. Her eyes narrowed as she saw Doctor Diana pass thro

They really weren't directly supervised? Is there some sort of surveillance camera watching them?Anne looked around for a long time but found no cameras. She then looked at the guards who started to walk away, leaving her group behind after leading them into a deep part of the forest.The path they took from the forest clearing to here was very complicated and confusing. The guards deliberately took a winding route, so that the prisoners had a hard time remembering.Anne looked up at the towering tall trees and thought back to the places they had walked. All the trees looked the same, but the texture of the ground they stepped on felt different as they stepped here; getting wetter and wetter. If she walked further, maybe she could find a water source.Well, they had to survive for three days, three nights, and water was of course essential.Then after that, the guards would lead them out. Only if they manage to survive. Examining Doctor Diana's words further, Anne was sure there was
Redemption one
"I'm a criminal."Anne repeated that sentence for the fifth time today. Her head was in turmoil. She didn't know what was really going on with her.The officer said, she was a 27 year old mad woman who massacred her own family. Unbelievable.Anne smiled wryly. She didn't know what the hospital staff was talking about. She herself couldn't remember how old she was, who her family was and what her background was.Most of the memories in her head seemed to have been pushed aside, especially the drawer of memories of herself and her family. She couldn't remember anything about it. She only remembered that her name was Roseanne Linn.Then this morning, when she woke up in the hospital, various accusations had been leveled against her."Miss Roseanne Linn will be placed in the Criminal Mental Hospital indefinitely. Miss Roseanne will undergo treatment to recover from her mental disorder. During that time, no one was allowed to visit her."Anne took a deep breath. The rough thing on her arm
Redemption two
"What time is it now, huh?"Anne shifted her position on the bed and lay on her back staring at the ceiling of her room which had holes in it.It was still bright outside, maybe four o'clock, she thought. Anne had fallen asleep because she was too tired to think. When she woke up, the handcuffs on her hands have been removed. Her clothes have also been changed to a pale blue hospital uniform. The size is too big, so she had to fold her arms a few times. Luckily, her pants fit right up to her ankles. Then the shoes she was wearing earlier disappeared somewhere. The warden perhaps took it. Maybe she just came in to do her work and the room was locked again.Anne was tired of being locked up here alone doing nothing. Since then, she had just rolled over on the bed despite the unpleasant smell. At first, she wanted to lie down on the floor, but her body shivered after a few minutes.At least the guards could let Anne roam out there. Just take a breath of fresh air or enjoy the view of the
Redemption three
Anne stared at the cold leftovers on the table, no longer in the mood to eat it. She just tasted a little of the soup and stopped. Her hunger disappeared somewhere as she replayed her conversation with Doctor Diana.She is a killer. She is a killer. She is a killer.Although it's hard to believe, but if the evidence is out there, how can Anne deny it all? She was sad and angry with herself. She was disgusted by what she had done. How could she do that to her own family?Thinking about it again made Anne's chest hurt even more. Anne didn't know how long she had been crying, maybe hours. It felt like her tears had run out, and she could only curl up on the wall in the corner of her room, hugging her own body. The hospital uniform she was wearing wasn't thick enough to fight the biting cold, but Anne had no intention of moving into bed.Anne kept thinking. Continuing to force her brain to try to remember the few fragments of memories about her family. But nothing, Anne still couldn't re
Redemption four
Anne couldn't sleep.The thought of the man who appeared this afternoon kept flashing through her head. Anne still didn't know what made him feel familiar, but she was going to find out. No matter how.First of all, she had to be able to get out of this room. Maybe after a few days, she will be let out. Then after that, she had to find a way to be able to meet the man. Even though Anne wasn't one hundred percent sure about this familiar feeling, there was no harm in trying. For now, that man was the only chance that Anne could let her know about her past.Well, if the plan goes as expected.Anne pulled the light blanket off her feet and curled up on the bed. The night air was colder than last night, she couldn't lie on the floor anymore. It's probably past midnight now.Closing her eyes trying to sleep, Anne winced at the sound from outside her room. The silence made the voice louder and clearer. The source was right in front of her room.Anne got off the bed slowly and crept toward t

Anne had just finished taking a shower when Cindy walked into her room like a ghost, again without making a sound. This time, Anne didn't take a clean bath and scrub her body like yesterday, she just splashed herself three times, remembering she was going to work. By noon it was very hot and her body would surely be covered in mud everywhere.Without a word, Anne followed Cindy out of her room and they returned down the same hall. Cindy seemed quieter today, even her expression was cold. She no longer wears feminine dresses, but casual clothes as usual. Cindy led her into the backyard of the hospital and had her wrist checked again by the guard.Absence maybe? She thought it was like routine attendance to calculate patient attendance at work.Anne began to work in silence; digging the ground and occasionally watching Cindy, who stands guard outside the construction area. She just realized that Cindy rarely interacted with the guards. Though, some of them seemed to be the same age as C

The night wind was blowing very fast. Cold pricks the skin. Anne's hair flew everywhere, covering her face so much that she had to roll it up and tuck it into the collar of her hospital uniform. She didn't know the wind would be this strong, but she felt so excited to get out.Anne hugged herself and followed Emily to the front yard of the hospital. The full moon shone so brightly that they could see clearly without the help of the hospital lights which had mostly been turned off. Surprisingly, not a single guard was to be seen, either outside or downstairs as they passed. Anne assumed they were asleep, but Emily said some of them might have gone somewhere to drink. She always smelled of alcohol when the guards came to open the door to her room.Anne wondered where it was, because it was obvious the hospital was so remote. The two walked towards the side of the hospital and stopped at a long bench. Emily motioned for Anne to sit down first. Anne didn't really know what they were goin

It feels weird.Really weird.Anne meant that this was only their second meeting, but both she and Emily looked like two best friends who had been in a relationship for years. Moreover, Emily's attitude is so friendly, making Anne can easily accept her presence.Maybe because the attitudes of the two are similar? Or are they facing the same problem? Their status as prisoners is pathetic, perhaps?She didn't know what the reason was. But even at the first meeting, she and Emily could talk fluently without feeling awkward at all. Moreover, Emily seems to have considered Anne as a friend, remembering how she barged into her room without permission. Then proudly displayed her stolen duplicate key as if she had brought a present for Anne.Anne would have considered the key an extraordinary gift if the idea of escaping had been realized with it. Unfortunately no. Until whenever it will not be able to.Emily firmly said 'there is no way to escape from this hospital' because of the microchi

A little more though. She just needs a little information to know what game is actually given. If only Cindy hadn't approached too quickly, she would have known the answer. Anne sighed in frustration.That woman—Fake Marie Antoinette was an old patient. She had passed the game and... survived? It's possible that this is just a small game that won't cause any casualties, perhaps. Anne wasn't sure. Her hunch said otherwise.Anne couldn't stop thinking about it. Her legs also couldn't stop pacing in front of the window, even as her calves started to feel sore.She only stopped when her muscles felt cramped and she had trouble supporting herself. With great difficulty, she climbed into bed and pulled the covers off. Her vision was dizzy with dizziness. There are many things going through her head.This hospital stresses her out.Looks like pretty soon, Anne's really going crazy like the rest of the patients.She curled up on the bed and pulled the blanket up to her neck.

Anne couldn't help but watch the mentally ill prisoners at work. Her assumption of those who were given something to obey without doing anything else seemed... plausible. Is it some kind of medicine? Or something else? She didn't know. But, it must be something strong; that can affect a person's mind. Anne continued to dig the ground with her shovel and occasionally looked around. The prisoners are still working non-stop in their respective sections. The guards were still watching outside the construction area. Cindy was there too. Watching her every move with a sharp gaze. It was as if Anne would disappear if she looked away for even a second. The sun was almost overhead. Anne was thirsty, hungry, and tired. Sweat flooded her body. The hospital clothes she was wearing were dirty, covered in mud everywhere. She regretted having taken a clean shower in the early morning. After returning to her room, she had to scrub her body again. When Anne went back to digging, her shovel hit a bo
