"You will know the truth, reveal it to the world, you are our spokesperson," said a voice in John's head.
On a cold, rainy winter night, John was driving his Cadillac on the way home after graduating from medical school, but something he had read in a book disturbed him, a voice couldn't get out of his head and constantly told him said:
"Free us, reveal our destiny to the world."
John brakes hard when he hears that voice, he seems to be everywhere, sweating, he starts the car and goes slowly but his brain can't rest, he feels the steering wheel of his car zigzagging and he can't stop the movement of the steering wheel and enters on the forest road.
The rain was getting more and more intense, the muddy road could only be seen a few meters ahead, suddenly a figure crosses in front of him and he feels that he is going to run over someone, he closes his eyes, and opens them far away, but nothing happens .
He opens the car door and leaves in the middle of the night along the forest road and tries to see if he sees anyone or what happened in front of the car, it's his imagination, but it can't be.
In the distance, John sees a small glowing light that looks like a barefoot girl in a plain white dress, long dirty hair, with her head down without revealing her face.
"Who are you? John keeps asking and approaching, but that girl doesn't seem to move, she's still standing in the middle of the road.
"You need help, I can take you to the hospital" says John getting closer and closer to that girl.
When John was about two meters away from the girl, he heard a crying sound, she was crying.
John reaches out to touch the girl's shoulder and suddenly everything goes dark, John looks back and sees that his car has turned off, causing the lights to go out and it's dark.
What is going on here, John thinks and looks back at the girl and she has disappeared, suddenly John hears a noise and his car starts again, the lights come on and the road is lit up again.
As he got into the car he felt a cold air touch his face, it gave him a shiver, when he looked in the rearview mirror he saw it written in red letters:
"Follow me"
But there was no one to follow, but where to go? John wondered.
Gradually John's car starts to move without him doing anything, he tries to hold the steering wheel to change direction but nothing, the car seems to be driven by someone else, he only seems to be the passenger.
Soon after John starts to see a building covered with vegetation on the side with a large entrance door, it really looks like Varials Asylum.
He knew that place when he was on his last day of training course he was reading a book of old asylums and psychiatry and experiments done there and this place was marked in red ink in that book and it was ever since then that John heard voices in his brain, something is related to the book and this place, someone wants me here and wants to reveal something to me.
John gets out of the car and starts to go up some stairs towards the entrance where a big iron door was waiting for him, but it seemed closed, locked, how can I get in and there was only moonlight, since the rain had disappeared and the moonlight became round and bright just above that point.
The door opens, John enters and it closes by itself.
John is in front of a huge hallway where in the background is the figure of the girl John met on the road wearing a white dress as he enters one of the rooms he has the first vision of two white figures surrounding a person, John associated the lobotomy experience in his mind, there were some dirty papers on the floor where this experience was written.
Another noise John hears coming from an adjacent room, he looks over and sees another vision, a girl sitting up receiving electric shocks and screaming, bound by bandages.
Strange as it may seem, John wasn't scared, he now understood what had happened there.
When he was with the girl in the white dress again, John tries to touch her, but she seems transparent, John puts his hand on her body, but he doesn't touch anything, he feels a cool wind behind him, looks back and sees open the door through which he entered, he looked at the girl again and she was no longer there, Jonh sat down on the floor, and felt the horrors of that place, those sounds, those screams, cries for help, surgical devices, a great horror was wrought there, yes, he now realized he had been chosen to reveal.
For a few minutes Jonh closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep leaning against the wall, when he opened his eyes he got up and started walking towards the exit, he had no more visions, the light of the rising day illuminated that place.
When he got into the car and sat down, he had written on the window:
"This is the truth, you were chosen, reveal it to the world and now we can rest in peace."
Underneath it was signed Amy Mathews.
John returns home and picks up the book again, goes to the page and sees that there is no longer a red circle around him, when reading in lowercase he saw the names of some of the patients in that place and one of the main patients was to his surprise , Amy Mathews, who had been forcibly committed there.
John did a thesis and presented it to the whole world, visited the place and made the history of that place known to the whole world.
He looked up to the sky and said, "Amy Mathews rest in peace and all who suffered there, now the secret is out and the world knows more of her story."
