Room # 23
by Gyanban
Isabelle walked out of her hotel room # 23.
She stood for a moment to think about what happened inside.
She had just killed her husband of twenty three years.He lay there in a pool of blood.
Her hands were trembling as she stood under the air conditioner vent.
'I will give my self up - whats the use of living now?'she said.
No sooner did she say this - the duct above opened and sucked her in.
'Isabelle come back' a loud voice screamed from behind.
The doctor's voice echoed in Issac's ears - 'Its acute amnesia - don't take her out of the hospital.' as he drifted back into reality.
A dejected Issac, went back to his ward number 23.He opened his eyes to see the familiar grilled windows and padded cell.

I can't make any sense of this but it's entertaining.
Gloria - thanks for reading. Issac is imagines all of this - and he is himself a patient (mental) hence the word - " ward " is used in the end.
Ah, so. I was thinking maybe Isaac is also Isabelle. This impression arrived with the "loud voice" which must be the dr.'s, altho what he says next doesn't seem to follow logically.
And the "behind" is confusing, too. Does Isaac "hear" the voice coming from the duct?
This is an interesting challenge you've taken up. Difficult.
Isaac is basically imagining all of this and the other fact is that he himself is mentally challenged.
