I'm Fine Really

"I'm not crazy. It doesn't matter how many times you say it. It's still not true. I am perfectly sane. I'm fine really. The only reason that you think I'm crazy is because you don't understand me. What do you say? How about you get to know me before you judge me?

I like swimming and jogging a lot. My friends call me a health nut. I just like to keep my body in perfect working order that's all. I might over sanitize just a bit, but that doesn't make me paranoid that a flesh eating microorganism is going to start eating away at my brain if I so much as look at a puddle. I'm fine really.

I like playing board games too. It's a great way to have fun with friends. I don't like video games though, and I know what you're thinking. Just because I don't like videogames does not mean that I'm concerned that the government is using videogames in order to brain wash the young people of this country into believing that their new bills will help our country, Michael Jackson is really dead, and unicorn's don't exist. I'm fine really.

I like dolphins a lot. I have all kinds of figurines of them and I know a lot of facts about them. I'm not obsessed just because I know that Dolphins fall into the kingdom Animalia, the division Chordata, the class Mammalia, the order Cetacea, and the family Delphinidae; they have acute eyesight and can hear frequencies ten times higher than the average adult senses; and they make sounds with nasal airsacs just below their blowhole. I'm fine really.

There is one important thing that you should know about me though. I witnessed something that is truly frightening and could change the course of the entire world. I witnessed a meeting of terrorists. That's why I'm here actually. The government wanted to protect me from this group. I heard them plotting. I heard them making all kinds of plans that involved bombs, thieving, framings, and stirring. They were planning the start of World War 3. I'm not kidding. They had the most elaborate and precise plan in place to start this war. I don't know why they wanted to start this war, but they're definitely mad about something. I don't think that I've ever seen anything more frightening than what I saw going on in that room. I witnessed something that could literally change the course of history, and because I like you, I'll tell you who was in that room. I saw a group of about twenty fairies plotting the start of World War 3. Now tell me that I'm crazy."

"Uh huh, that's nice. Come on now Margie. It's time to take your medication."

"What? No! No more meds. I don't like them. They make me feel wrong. I'm not myself when I'm on them. Please don't make me take any more meds."

"Come on Margie. You need to take them. The doctor said so."

"NO! NO MORE MEDS!" I threw the pills across the room.

"I need an orderly in here!"

"NO MORE MEDS! NO MORE MEDS!" I threw more things across the room. I couldn't take any more pills.

"Orderly! Sedative now!"

"NO MORE MEDS!!!NO MORE MEDS!!! NO MORE MEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The orderlies made it into the room and pinned me to the floor. Why would they do that? I kept thrashing around trying to stop them. The medication took my will from me. I wasn't right on them. I wasn't me.

"Please no!" I shouted, but they didn't listen. They forced a needle into my arm and pushed the liquid into my blood. Then everything went black.

I woke up in my bed at the mental hospital. I was groggy and unfocused, but awake. They must have given me my meds after all. I could hear some kind of buzzing in my ear though. That was new. I opened my eyes trying to find the source of the noise.

"Look. She's awake." There was a tiny person floating above my head. I couldn't tell if he was real or a hallucination side effect of my medications. I tried to move my arms, but I found that they were bound.

"Alright then let's get started." There were more tiny people floating around the room.

"We've been waiting awhile for her to be groggy enough, and now we can work our magic." The little people started doing a dance of some kind. I felt myself getting sleepy again.

"Repeat after me. Your name is Margie Lawson," The one at the front said soothingly.

"My name is Margie Lawson," I said groggily.

"There are flesh eating microorganisms everywhere that is not sanitized."

"There are flesh eating microorganisms everywhere that is not sanitized."

"The government is using videogames to brain wash the young people."

"The government is using videogames to brain wash the young people."

"You are obsessed with Dolphins."

"I am obsessed with Dolphins."

"You saw fairies planning the start of World War 3."

"I saw fairies planning the start of World War 3."

"You're fine really."

"I'm fine really."

"Now remember these things as I told them to you and go to sleep."

"I will remember these things as…" I drifted off to sleep forgetting the fairies in the room, but remembering the insanity that they placed in my head.

"Margie, it's time to wake up." The nurse said. "It's time to take your pills again."

"No, I'm fine really."
