The Institute

My name is Davey. I was a typical 12 year old boy, who happened to get into a few fights, hack into a bank computer and my school's computer, break into my school, and smoke pot. Everything changed in one day.

I came home from school and my mom was gone and I lost twelve hours of time. The next thing I remember I am having a nervous breakdown and I'm being taken to the Arizona State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

Now, along with trying to recover my memories of the "incident", the staff is trying to teach me that my actions have consequences. Something they say my parents tried to teach me before this all occurred.

Now I've been in the hospital for 6 years. I'm 18 and I want to get out and live a normal life. I'm also afraid to leave for fear that the same thing may happen again.

My only connection to the outside world is my father during his weekly visits. But being in here, I never know what day it is. I'm losing time, reliving days, and even waking up in strange places.

I don't know if they are trying to rehabilitate me, or if I'm living in someone's twisted nightmare.
