Dinner with Diana on Fridays was a ritual, inmates of the asylum had always followed …. some had to be wheeled in by attendants, in a semi-conscious state after medication, but they were all present.
‘You know what, the shots aren’t as bad as you think, and I like the way they put me in a trance”, shared one of the inmates.
“Are you the one who let three inmates out last Friday, or you can’t recall being manipulated?”
“I don’t think we have met before, but I cannot leave Diana ….” a blue light appeared to beam from his dark eyes, as if he was in a trance and his hands moved towards my neck.
“I’m Inspector Robert … here to investigate how three political prisoners sent here for treatment escaped in the melee last Friday. I believe you created a hullabaloo about not leaving Diana, but you know what … she is being taken by the police.”
The link below goes to the first part of the story, though both can also be treated as independent pieces.

Thanks for the link in latest 6SS as I missed this episode but remember the first. A current writing project of mine concentrates on a mental hospice and its occupants, so I can relate to your themes here, rituals, the meds, the professionals and the inmates.

Wow, don’t think he is really ill if they believe he could orchestrate the escape..hmmm, wonder if he has been not taking his meds somehow?
Love this plot Reena 😍. Thanks
