Present time... 

" Alright. Everyone, behave yourself. " Said a nurse named Eliza.

" Um... What should I do now? " A new male nurse.

" Oh! Just walk around and guard them. I'm going to wash my face. "

In windy weather. A bit gloomy at midday. In a large old hospital who turned into a psych hospital 15 years ago. I'm starting my new job as a nurse. In a psych hospital. What a choice, right? Now I am interning the hospital yard. Full of patients. Just by looking at them, I can see that some of them looking well put. It doesn't seems like they're mentally ill. They look very stable to me. But what do I know? Me? A nurse? I just got this job by an accident. I always thought I'm gonna be locked up in a psych hospital for years but I never thought I would "work" for patients. I see females, teenage girls. Some of them look old but the way they act weird. Every single one has their own world. I always wonder what goes into their heads. Anyways, as I was being told, " Walk around and guard them " Like Eliza has told me. I'm seeing a nurse with every 5 to 8 patients. But suddenly, I'm not feeling well. I'm drawing too much attention. I don't like how they all staring at me. I shouldn't have said yes to this job. He told me that I wouldn't regret taking this job and that I will get better. I wanna disappear right now. I noticed everyone was staring at me. Welcome to my Ted Talk I guess. They're looking at me as if they had never seen a man before. Wait, I haven't seen a guy except him. I hate this. I don't like this at all. I hate this feeling. No. I can walk. I can just call it a day and never come back again-

" Hey! What's you name? " 

As I am walking off a girl asked me a question. I turned around and saw a woman in her early twinsies. Pale skin, long blonde hair and blue eyes with a teddy bear in her hand. It's midday. Nothing has happened. Yet, I'm scared of a normal looking girl. Incredible. 

" Liam. I'm a new nurse. " I answered.

" I'm Lilly! " 

She smiled. She looks genuinely nice. But I'm not gonna be fooled again.

" Lilly! did you notice? Your both names start with the letter L " said a woman who is around fifty years old. She came out of nowhere. This place is freaking me out.

" Hey Liam. Nice to meet you. " 

The woman starched her arm to me but in a weird way. I didn't like how she was staring at me. As if she was trying to read me. Or she is trying to test me.

" Nice to meet you both. And everyone here. If any of you want anything just tell me. "

I refused to shake her hand and started looking and talking to the others who still hadn't left their eyes at me. 

" Why wouldn't you shake my hands? Do you feel disgusted perhaps? Or are you scared of me? " 

" No... It just- "

" Ahh man I thought we could be friends. Now, how can I trust you? At least be a bit kind to your patients. "

" I don't think physical touch is important. You can still trust me- "

Everyone is starting to laugh about what I said. Some of them started asking each other why are the women laughing. Girls from far away they also laughed. I'm sure they didn't hear anything. What I said isn't funny. I don't like touching and shaking hands. Especially when someone likes her. Who knows she might hurt me.The woman's laughing as if I said the most funniest thing. Lilly is just standing. Trying to smile but she keeps looking at me. she doesn't want to hurt my feelings? From what? Why is this woman laughing for no reason? It made everyone laugh too. They are just laughing. I mean isn't it great to be a complete joke for no reason on your first day on your job? A job that I'm not qualified for. Maybe they are actually unstable. But why am I getting worked up over mentally ill people? What was I supposed to do? Oh yeah get out of here. I looked at the door waiting for Eliza. I don't know why she is taking so long. She said that she is going to wash her face. Did she change her mind and take a shower instead? While I was waiting for Eliza, under the tree, I noticed a girl sitting on a bench and reading a book. The book looks quite old. She is alone. She doesn't have a caregiver? I heard some girls whispering. Then, I noticed that they're saying my name. I turned around and it was two girls waving at me to come close to them. Smiling in a sneaky way. 

" Do you want anything? "

" Yes, two cups of coffee. " Said a girl and started laughing. 

" Don't mind her. You leave us alone. " 

" So? You too have something silly to say? " I asked. 

" You have to leave this place. "

" ... "

" I can tell that you are not a nurse. You seem like a normal dude. Why can't you leave? "

" I just can't. For now. "

" Well, in that case, I need to give you some warnings since you are going to stay. Just want to give you some advices because the nurses might not help you. They might even throw you under the bus. Anyway, my name is Ruby. "

To be honest, she is not wrong about the nurses. Eliza just threw the uniform at me and told me to start my job. Even if I'm gonna clean the toilets she should teach me or guide me how to work. She knows that I am not a nurse. Yet, she just let me around unstable people. Alright. I will just listen to what ruby has to say.

" We don't have much time! " Said Ruby.

" What do you mean? " I asked. 

" Look! " Ruby pointed at a clock on the wall and continued, " we only have eight minutes left and the break is over. "

" Okay. So what do you want to tell me? "

" In this hospital, you will think that everyone is sick. But they're not. A lot of them are poor and abounded. Including me. I didn't tell anyone but the nurses knew who is mentally ill and who is stable. So they wouldn't give us a special treatment. "

" So how did you get in here? "

" Well, he let me in. I thought I would be just fine since I'm alright but the more I stay here the more brain cells I lose. At some point, I thought I was actually going insane. "

" Why didn't you leave? You are allowed to, right? "

" I left last month but I came back after a week. I can't live in the streets again. I wish I had money so I can pay back the debate. I would rather live here than living in a prison for years. At least here I'm free. Oh! We have five minutes left. "

" So, you're telling me that people are here just to sleep and eat for free? "

" Yes. Kinda. Before they let me in I had to sign some papers to prove that I have some type of mental disorder or something. I take a medicine that helps me sleep. They made it here. By him. We wanna leave but we have no other choice. "

" What about Lilly and the woman who were laughing at me? "

" Oh them? they're both crazy. But Lilly wouldn't do anything. Except she is annoying. These sneaky patients blame her for anything. Because they knew she can't get punished. Also, it's smart of you not shaking that woman's hands. Don't give anyone here your attention. It will give you headaches. Trust me, I tried. Don't get personal with anyone. There are some drug dealers who might use you as a messenger to get what they want. I keep telling Lilly to stay away from them but she wouldn't understand who is using her and who is kind to her. You will come across the good and bad. Most of the people here are awful people including the nurses, doctors and caregivers. Be aware of what you share with them. I bet they didn't warn you about this because you are just someone who can replace you at any time they want. Don't get close to anyone. Especially because you are a man so you better not fall for anyone here. You are the only male nurse here. There are male nurses in the other building. The medical building. Look, They will try to do anything to get under your skin but don't ever snap. Most importantly, don't trust- "

" EVERYONE GET BACK TO YOUR ROOMS! Liam, come here. " Said Eliza. 

" We will continue tomorrow. " Said Ruby.

" Wait what about this girl? " I whispered.

Ruby looked at the girl and started walking off. As if she noticed something and started rushing inside. I looked at that girl and she was staring at me. I'm trying to read her face. Is she mad? Did she hear me? Did she hear us? She then closed her book and walked inside the building. I looked up and I saw him. He was staring at that girl then he noticed me and waved. What's going on? Why do I feel like I should do something. Are these people in danger? Why would he allow stable people in a psych hospital? Act of kindness? Can someone go this far? I feel something is off about this hospital. Especially him.
