“We’ll call you with the results,” the doctor said, but I heard in her voice what she predicts the outcome will be. They won’t be able to find anything wrong with my mind.

She has stepped out, leaving me to get dressed again. I feel as though I’m standing on subway tracks, looking down tunnels with no light on either end and both directions equally dangerous. On one side, I see myself lost in mental illness while still in my twenties. But at least down those tracks there is a loving husband, who rushes to meet my every need.

Down the other tunnel, I am legally bound to a sick, controlling pervert who spent months figuring out how to pull the wool over my eyes. A man who would rob me of my self-worth, my confidence, my memories. But I still would have my mind.

For now.

How many years could I resist him? How long until the subtle questions of the doctor are buried under the delusions he builds?

No! My thoughts scream, and I crouch over, grabbing the sides of my head. He is everything I have looked for! He is kind—never once has he raised his voice to me! He loves me. If I know anything, I know he loves me! And I love him! I’m supposed to marry him in two months!

I crumple into myself, body racked with sobs, the papery gown sticking to my sweat.

Then, comes a voice of sanity from somewhere inside of me, I don’t have much time. I have to get away.
