Night 5
They all gathered around the dining table again. No more distractions, Norman thought. There was something else going on with Ted and Beth earlier. Norman didn’t think Ted simply fainted; and Beth didn’t just hear him fall, these walls are inches thick, you don’t hear someone fall and rush over from the next room. Nonetheless Beth was there to help Ted.
“What were you two doing when Ted supposedly fainted?†Norman asked pointedly. “You couldn’t have heard Ted falling through these walls.â€
“Why didn’t anybody tell me something happened?†Harry snapped. “You were all ready to point to me with the squid thing yet you hide it if something else happens.â€
“You think one of us projected something bad on Ted, Harry? “ Norman asked.
“You’re naïve if you don’t. There’s nothing else going on down here except what we make of it. And you lot are intent on hiding yours. I knew it.â€
“You’re absolutely right, Harry. Beth told me I had a panic attack and overreacted, but I distinctly saw the doors close and the alarm went off indicating I was losing oxygen. One of you imagined this!†Ted commanded. “You put the idea in our heads, Norman! With your checking of the scrubbers and oxygen levels.â€
“Are you accusing me of trying to kill you? Beth was the one who found you before any of us even knew what was going on!†Norman argued.
“You don’t even need to know what’s going on for you to imagine it!†Ted said.
“I was the only one looking out for Ted, if I wasn’t there he could’ve suffered a cardiac arrest and he could’ve died. Don’t you dare blame me for trying to kill Ted!â€
“I saw Harry sitting in the dining room, with his eyes closed as if projecting something on us!â€
“I was meditating to block those thoughts out for your protection you *******!
Everyone was shouting at each other now, even Norman lost his cool and forgot what they were trying to accomplish with this meeting. Boy, that escalated quickly, Beth thought as she rushed out of the room and into her workplace. She quickly grabbed a needle and mixed some drugs into it. When she came back they were still going at it. She realised Norman was the loudest and jabbed Norm with her needle.
“What the hell, Beth? What’s in that needle†Harry shouted. Ted looked on fearful.
“I can’t stand this infighting anymore,†Beth screamed, “from now on if someone gets out of control or if we suspect anyone of conjuring up evil manifestations we’ll inject him with this. It’s a sedative that’ll put you in a dreamless sleep; as in unable to perform any evil acts. When they’re up we’ll know if they’re at it again and repeat the process. We’re all capable of good and evil manifestations and we must be ready to sacrifice ourselves so we can stop the evil ones. I’m off to bed. Goodnight.†Beth stormed off.
