C-30 was quickly becoming claustrophobic, and Ashton was ready to bail from the hospital room. It had been a long twenty-four hours that included nearly thirty stitches to his head, and his need for his own environment was growing stronger by the minute. They had promised him that he could leave, and, as he watched nurses and doctors scramble past his door, he grew agitated that no one was in any great hurry to hand over his discharge papers. Dillon had left him in the hospital room to get Mark from the waiting room, the only ride they could procure at the time. Yet another thing Ashton was not exactly fond of. Something was stirring inside him, at times it would grab onto his soul sending demented thoughts through his brain waves and he would snap at whomever was in front of him. Unluckily, a nurse stopped right at his doorway at that moment; and the thing crept forth up through his throat and spewed out of his mouth.

“Get me the fuck out of here!” he bellowed. The nurse turned around at the sudden roaring from his hospital room, the voice bouncing off the hospital walls like a cave, and scampered away. Ashton laid back on the bed, feeling a rush inside his head, and questioned where the guttural sound of the voice had come from. He wasn’t feeling well, his temperature fluctuating from extremely cold to a blistering hot; at moments sweating profusely, as his body reacted to the fire burning inside, and ,just as quickly going back down as if he had been placed in a deep freezer. He didn’t want to admit to anyone that something was amiss, afraid that they would keep him in the hospital longer.

The gash in his head even seemed alive. Each time he started to feel the stirring inside of him, the skin would pull against the stitching as if his skull was trying to escape through his scalp. The pain was unbearable, and he hoped that upon discharge they would write a prescription for painkillers to help subdue it. Dillon finally reemerged from the waiting room with Mark in toe.

“You doing ok?” Dillon asked nervously, and Ashton glared at him.

“I want to fucking leave,” he growled. Ashton’s wound vibrated and the stirring flipped his stomach on its side. The urge to vomit filled him. He sat up and started to heave. The man behind Dillon quickly exited the room as Ashton proceeded to vomit on the ground below the bed. Dillon stepped backwards in attempt to save his shoes, the vomit hitting the ground and splattering out towards him. Ashton looked up, his eyes watering from the pressure. “Such a pretty little lamb that one.”

“What?” Dillon confusedly inquired, as Ashton moved outside of his body and viewed the experience from the ceiling.

“That dainty little man pig wants you. He’ll fuck you like he fucks his pretty little wife.” The voice came from Ashton but he couldn’t understand where it was coming from.
