The Crack

Part 7

First a Jail, then an asylum for the criminal insane and now a childrens hospital.

I gotta say that I feel sorry for those kids. Atleast if the care are as "good" as the builders of this place.

Just look at the state of this place.

Not even 6months old and already a big crack in the wall.

Yeah that's good value of taxdollars isn't it?

Poor kids.

-Mum?

-Yeah?

-Do we have to come here?

-Hunny, I thought you wanted to visit Maria, she is your best friend isn't she? Have you had a fight?

-No but I don't like it here.

-Why?

-It's scary.

-That's just because it's a hospital hunny. You'll get use to it. Just think of it as a place that make people feel better.

-Maria don't like it here either.

-Why?

-She says there are ghost here. That the wall is talking to her. It says horrible things to her.

-Hunny. You have to realize that Maria is seriously ill. Remember last year when you had that high fever and you where sooo sick?

-yea?

-Well, Maria is much sicker than you where, and sometimes she get a soooo high fever that she hallucinate. It is really scary, but that can happen when you are that sick. In a while you'll see that all the good doctors and nurses has taken sooo good care of her that she will be her usual self agian. Do you understand? Do you feel better now?

-Yes mum.....But I hear them too..............

The End

Underneath the surface

They Crawl

Part 6

-This is an absolut publicity Nightmare!

Sponsores are dropping out! As is we can't afford to open the hospital. Something has to be done to take the focus from the muders. Who would want to thake their child to the "Murder Hospital"?

-Could we have a compitition of some sort? That should take the focus off.

-YES! Yes! Good Idea. Brillian idea! Lets go with that. Does anyone have a valid idea?

-How about we push the opening back a few month...

-What the f¤ck are you talking about?? We can't afford that!

-Just hear me out... We put the opening just about when summer is to begin. In the meantime we demolish the wall, we can claim it has structual weaknesses. We then build a completely new wall but make it look a bit more "inviting" and have a competition amongst the lokal artist and children to paint a mural covering the intire wall! And the Grand opening would be just about when the gardens are starting to bloom. Children, Sun, Flowers.. What not to like?

-Could that work?

-There acutally ARE structual weaknesses in the wall as we said in the report. amongst otherthings...

-Brilliant!!!!

So we are all in agreement then?

Lets begin!

Part 5

-And we are going LIVE to the soon to be opened White Rose Childrens Hospital.

Amanda, can you pleas tell us what is going on?

-Thank you, Gregory.

Just over an hour ago a tragedy happende here that can only be described as scenes from a horror movie.

I talked earlier with shief of police Mark Harrow that have worked for over 30years, and he said that it was the worst thing he had EVER seen in his career.

An yet to be indetified man, for no apparent reasons have brutally murdered 3 innocent people in what only can be described as a "frenzy".

According to eyewittnes he was know for his "unusal and creepy" behavour but not concidered dangerous.

He seem to have had a conversation of somekind to the wall that you see behind me, all covered in blood, when he accordingly to the witnesses suddenly went mad and started screaming about filth and that "they" where coming.

In a frenzy, he attacked a young apparently pregnant prostitute. Beating here with a rock he picked up from the street and then continued to carve her open with a broken bottle.

A middle aged nurse ,she has been identified and here realatives are being notified as we speak, tried to protect the young woman, but got a severe lash over here throat and bled out before the ambulance arrived.

A third person, a male, Lawyer as far as we can tell at this point, tried to escape the horror, but the attacker pushed him into the heavy trafficked street and he was rundown by a taxi.

-Amanda, let me just ask. How do you know the young prostitute was pregnant?

-Well Gregory. (swollows loudly) The attacker.... (coughs) The attacker, cut the featus from the womans belly (swollows again) and tried to... sorry.. And tried to push it into a Crack in the wall....

-Oh MY GOD! And you have no reason for this massacre?

-The Police had to shoot him on sight.

-They couldn't ask him anything at all?

-According to the Police, his last words where, They are coming.

Part 4

You think I'm a looser don't ya?

A filthy whore?

someone to use and abuse?

F¤ck and forget?

A no one, trash, shit under your shoe?

Do you think I LIKE what I see in the mirror?

Do you think I WANT to live my life like this?

Are you happy with what you see in the mirror?

A judgemental a-hole?

Is that the person you wanted to be?

4months 6days and um... 7hours I have been clean. And counting.

The needle? A reminder to never go back.

Acid that melt your brain.

I'm gonna make something with my life. You just wait and see.

Everyone you see here is a person.

With hope and dreams.

With their own story.

But do you take the time to think about that?

When you just try to step over us.

Try not to see us.

As if we somehow would infect you with what ever you think we got?

And yet, so many buy sex, or sit on some shitty site to get their fix.

You know, if most of our "clients" (does that word make you feel more comfortable?) would spend as much time and money on their relationships as they do on hookers and porn they would probably get laid as much as they could handle.

Just sayin.

You get what you give, you know.

But I'm soon outa here.

I got something to fight for.

My treasure.

My baby.

If it's a baby girl, I will teach here the value in here self. Never to let her get trampled on, never sell herself short. She would have a wonderful life. I would make sure of that!

And if my child is a boy, I would teach him to treat everyone with kindness and respect. to be a man that matters.

I have to get away from here.

Things are getting to rough for me. Especially now.

There is some bad vibes. Can you feel it?

So many broken souls.

Like this a-hole, I really thought he was gonna kick me like a dog. The look in his eyes. Like a shark on the hunt.

Now, this woman. She never looks at me with disgust. Look at this scarfe that she gave. I'll bet you anything that she's not only a mother, but the kind of mother I want to be to my child.

You have to try to see the good in people even if you are here.

But some are just to lost.

That man, talking to the wall.

He really scares me.

Look at him almost caressing that dang crack.

Make me feel covered in crawling things.

I've actually got a place to go.

In a couple of day I will be outa here.

And I will make a good life for me and my baby.

You just wait and see.

I will show you.

Part 2

Dang! What time is it?

I can't be late today.

Oh, lots of time, thank God!

Dang kids for messing around this morning.

I didn't even have time for coffee.

Atleast not that many people on the streets today.

They should really do something about that dang crack, it's been there for ages.

Oh no. How can someone so young already look so beaten? That poor girl. Not that much older than my own kids. 10years older maybe? less? She looks so cold.

This scarf isn't designer or anything but it's large as heck and could probably keep her a little warmer. She looks so innocent. I really hope she will find her way back in life.

No one deserves to live like this.

So many lost souls in this city.

Especially since they closed the asylum.

Just look at that man. Mumbling to the crack. I wonder what he's saying.

He just seems so lost.

-Hey! What an a-hole! That man almost knocked me to the ground. Looks like a lawyer or something. A mr High and mighty.. Another a-hole if you ask me.

That crack relly should be fixed.. I don't like the look of it.

Part 1

Don't know why people complain about Mondays. Monday's fine. First day of the week. What's wrong with that?

It's Tuesday that really sucks.

People are still in a mood for going back to work after the weekend and it's a long way left until Friday. Wednesday is ok I suppose.

Dang this weather. Greay and boring. Perfect for a Tuesday.

And this filthy city.

When are they going to fix this ugly dang wall?

It's got a big ass crack in it. Ugly as heck if you ask me.

Not that anyone does.

And the hookers stands or even sleeps sometimes here.

Filthy whores.

One is lying just becides me.

A needle is just barely showing under her.

Heroine I guess.

Stupid fu...

Who would pay to let a supid ass drugwhore touch you?

She's not that ugly though.

If she wasn't a cheapass heroinewhore maybe I would let her blow me.

Not that I would ever pay for it.

I have to step over her.

I should give her a kick.

Stupid whore.

Don't you judge me!

You are just like me!

You are also thinking of kicking her.

or worse.

So you just shut up.

And not only whores.

Nutters too.

Not long ago there was a insaneasylum on the other side.

They should have kept it.

One of the nutters is standing here.

Talking to the damn crack.

What a moron.

They really should clean this place up.
