Then it dawned on her, that the policemen had driven her to the asylum, a place for the unstable. ‘For goodness sake! I’m perfectly fine!’ Her heart beat against her chest as she exclaimed in fear.

David stood frozen in fear as he felt a darkness within the already existing darkness closing in on him.
