Secondly, its a book about Eight College Students that went on a vacation and ended up having illnesses. This book contains mental illnesses that are psychological and beings such as ghosts.
Thirdly, be rest assured, its my original work, anything in it that relates to human beings or to real life is nothing but a coincidence and please no plagiarizing.

Dani's POVShe sat crossing her legs together and clasping her palms together, she hung her head low. Her face held no emotions. Her hair was sticking up and scattered, it looked like she had ran her fingers through it. Her lips were pale and had dried blood on it. She had chewed on her lips till it bled.On her wrist was the hospital wrist band, her name written boldly on it 'Danielle.' The hospital gown had a badge with the room number on it, 'Patient 220.' Every patient in that hospital had a wrist band and a badge. Everyone's socks was white and with a pair of white canvas to match the socks. There were always fluffy slippers to change into when they were back in their wards. The only difference was that the females wore a blue gown, while the males wore a blue shirt and trouser.=================================No day passed by without patients fighting with one another and one of my friends was always involved. Seems he never changed afterall

Ezekiel's POVHe sat on the chair, cupping his chin in his palm, his eye bags were obvious. He looked like he hadn't slept for days and he looked thinner. His hair was overgrown and now reached his shoulder.He didn't like the interview room, even the doctor and nurses observed. He was mostly quiet and didn't talk much. When asked a question, he never gave a straight answer. He'd chew on his nails for some minutes, mumble incoherent words in Chinese, toy with his shirt.Other days he wouldn't even say anything, depending on how the question was asked. Since he was having issues with sleep, it causes him to have heart attack or he would go blank. He would keep staring at the ceiling until he was half dragged out to his ward.Patient 225. He held his wrist band, spelling his name out, "E-Z-E-K-I-E-L."=======================It seems like it's been forever since the police found us and brought us here. How long? Two weeks?

Louie's POVThis morning I was given more than the amount of drugs I used to take. I think I'm the only one close to normal here, I'm fine, I'm sane, they don't believe, the doctors call me a destroyer. I beat patients up, especially the ones whispering about me among themselves or the ones staring at me.It's just so funny that in a mental home, not everyone is crazy. The guy I beat up yesterday, is normal; he's just battling with depression and he has so many cuts because he cuts himself and then there's another one that doesn't really talk and interact with patients vety well except for the doctors and nurses he communicate with very well. Louie looked ariubdband his eyes landed on another guy that drugs had turned his life upside down. He hissed and face palmed.The security standing beside the cafeteria door looked at me in a pitiful way and heavens know that I was irked already. I gave him a glare and he

In fact, every lady that I've seen in this stupid place all don't have fitting cap.Today he seems to be full of confidence and energy," I hear a lady in white say, looking at her badge! Her name neatly spelt Cassie.Cassie," I repeated thrice nodding my head, blurting out, "Cassie where are my friends? Where's my boyfriend?" The nurse was staring ahead and wheeling me to the interrogation ward. "You long-faced chimpmunk, answer me!" I kept screaming.If I wasn't tied down to the wheel chair, I would have held the nurse by her dress and screamed at her until I became tired. I haven't been coping well either since I've been having persistent mood disinhibition and mood euphoria and my behavior that has become different from a normal person's behavior. Sometimes I have mixed feelings and I get depressed on some d

Patrick’s POVPatient 223I saw him before he was wheeled away, my heart aches more, I miss him and I need him now more than ever. I wish I could see him, just to hold him, the last conversation we had was when I refused to talk to him some days after the words in the notes started having its effect on me, and I held his hand and told him I love him." A tear rolled down my cheek. That cabin needs to be burnt down. I’ve lost track of how long we’ve been brought here.I’m mostly quiet and usually depressed, my hands are tied together, I remember the first week I got here, I’d use my nails to inflict pain on myself, I’d scratch my skin until it starts bleeding or I hit my head on the wall, it’s an act I repeat so on most times, a nurse always comes to sedate me. I remember every detail of the cabin but I’m too scared to talk, If the notes could make us have disorders then definitely we could die if we say the truth or

She stopped walking fast, bending on her knees on the granite floor, she cried into her palms, she still could not believe what Dani said. After some minutes of crying, she continued walking to the other house, she opened the door and the smell of dust hit her nose strongly, she coughed.Pointing the torch around, she took a deep breathe "OK Anjali, you can do this" she told her herself speaking Hindu. She entered, pointing the torch around to find the meters, she heard a sound like someone dropped something on the floor, she ignored the sound, the woods creaked behind her, she looked behind her but saw no one, she shrugged it off, she found what she was looking for and saw that a wire had been cut or loosen, either way, that was why the light went off.She dropped the torch on the floor so she could fix it quickly, she checked it and immediately figuring how to adjust the wire. She quickly fixed it and the lights came on. She smiled, cheering herself "I'm a genius."

He prayed in his mind that Ivan should be fine and alive wherever he was..."Hey, why don't you take a seat?" Louie told him for the fifth time."please Patrick, just calm down I'm sure he's fine." He added with concern in his tone. He walked to the window where Patrick was standing, patting his shoulders, he held his hand and took him to sit on the sofa.We should go out and look for him, he said his eyes examining the environment.
