After the lapse of one year, Sandie is finally discharged from the hospital. To her horror, she discovers that she has been treated with LSD. While the addiction is growing stronger, traces of a certain object suddenly appear. The shell from the nightmares....
Sandie stared into space. Today, she'd escape from this miserable existence - she'd forget about the accident.
"Doctor Brown wants to see you."
She turned around and saw the young nurse who was patiently waiting for her.
Doctor Brown was the most unbearable physician in the entire hospital. But he was also the most handsome - and consequently a favourite with the vain and immature nurses. He was responsible for Sandie's medicines and case books.
"You'll be discharged today. How do you feel?"
His disagreeable smile made her shudder inside.
"Good. My uncle will come here, he's visiting an old friend near by and...."
"I know. He asked me to tell you about....."
"What has happened?"
"Your aunt Mandy and your cousin Thomas have been killed in a car accident."
Visual pictures suddenly started to rush about in her brain, like a quick multislide presentation. Mandy and Thomas?
A dark-haired nurse entered the room. She greedily run her eye over doctor Brown.
"Nurse Norah, please hold Sandie's hand while I take out the necessary things."
"Yes, doctor Brown", the cringing voice said. "By the way.... I'm working late tonight...."
"Give her 3 injections", Brown said, ignoring the sensual tone. "Be quick about it."
Sandie clenched her teeth. She saw doctor Brown and nurse Norah leave the room. The darkness surrounded the little bunk.
Sandie shut her eyes. Croaking sounds filled her head. Strange purple fishes swam above her, beneath her, behind her. She heard loud voices. The nightmares from the past had been put to flight. For the time being.
