Being a psychiatrist, I have heard a lot of crazy stories, but my friend Charley’s story is by far the craziest. I was sitting at my brown wooden desk in my small lavender smelling office when I heard a knock at the door. Knock. Knock.

I walked down a silent narrow hallway, then took a sharp left. Lastly, I went down a short staircase and I was on the third level at Grand Central Station. I was greeted by a young man in a ticket booth lit up by open flame gas lights. The young man looked at me for a while. Moments later, he told me the price of a one-way ticket to Galesburg, Illinois.

Tackling the herds, I held my sisters hand and whipped through the crowds not caring who was in front of me. We walked inside, and realized we weren’t alone. The underground world was flooded with people as far as I could see which carried rows and rows of people with distressed looks. The guard ran in and as soon as he did, all we heard was blistering screams from those who were not part of the…

    My journey began 20 years ago, 5 whole years before I was locked down in the world’s highest security prison. I was ordered to the place that I considered hell on earth contained by a wall the height of a sky scraper drenched in high voltage barbed wire. Still to this day I have no idea where I am placed in this corrupted world.

Every wall, every ceiling looked as if a thousand crime scenes have taken place upon each surface.…
