Prison gates won't open up for me. On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'. Oh I reach for you...Well I'm terrified of these four walls. These iron bars can't hold my soul in. All I need is you. Come, please I'm callin' and oh I scream for you. Hurry I'm falling..

The lights flickered then completely shut off, Mikkel letting out a nervous sound and reaching out to the closest thing to him, his nurse. They couldn't stand each other but right now, Miriam was his lifeline. She was the only thing keeping what little sanity the doctor had left. He whimpered and clutched to her sleeve, feeling terrified. The walls were closing in, he couldn't see them but they were. He knew it.

Miriam silently shook her head. "It's fine, sir. You're fine, just stay right here." Fingers soothingly ran through Mikkel's hair just to calm him down. The doctor flinched noticeably but made no move to retract away... The feeling was kind of nice. It did soothe him.

Show me what it's like to be the last one standing. Teach me wrong from right, I'll show you what I can be. Say it for me, say it to me and I'll leave this life behind me. Say it if it's worth saving me...

The two sat in the dark, talking about anything. Anything to keep Mikkel's mind off the dark. He wouldn't admit it but he loved listening to Miriam speak. He felt safe, he felt comfortable, not that Miriam would ever know.

For Miriam, the feeling was mutual. Mikkel actually listened to her now, taking in everything she said and even responding. It was nice. They talked about personal things, their lives before they came to work in the institution, how they felt about working there. Both had loved it for each of their own reasons. Mikkel loved the science involved and for Miriam it was the children and maybe for someone else. Something drew her to the doctor, the man she loved to hate, she felt he needed help in his own way. Not from the institution itself, just help. Someone to come to. She noticed, like herself, he could become severely moody at times. Maybe... Just maybe... They could both help each other out. Miriam wanted to try her best and who knows what would happen along the way...

Heaven's gates won't open up for me. With these broken wings I'm fallin', and all I see is you. These city walls ain't got no love for me, I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story, and oh I scream for you. Come please I'm callin'. And all I need from you. Hurry I'm fallin'...
I know I didn't write all the lyrics down, sue me.

Mikkel --- :iconluffsasodei:
Miriam --- Me
