the door
The door is closed. The door will remain closed. The door will not open. The door will not open if you ask it to. The door will not open if you punch it until your hands bleed. The door does not care about you. The door thinks you are worthless. The door will never open for you.
Do not think about the door.

How long have I been here? I can’t tell anymore. I hate time. I want it to go away, he wanted it to end. That wasn’t possible.all things are possible. But that’s ok, it has to has to be. You’re hungry, maybe you should stop thinking about food. Stop thinking about water. Stop thinking about the door. Stop thinking about bruises. Stop thinking about pain. Don’t think about the door. Try and find something else to think about.
Count your fingers. Count your toes. Count the number of body parts you have now. Don’t think about that. Count from one to a thousand. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again.

Divide the number by three, do it again, do it again. One, divide that by three, do it again, he didn’t know how to divide it by three again. That’s ok, find something else to do. There isn’t anything else to do.
he couldn’t look away from the door.
he decided to bang his hands against the door until they started bleeding again. he kept going after he saw blood, after he got dizzy, after his vision continued to blurred, after everything blurred. he stopped after he couldn’t anymore. Eyes closing, too much red in the room, finally. But then he noticed.
They opened the door, Why did they open the door?
