“It’s the eye in the sky” muttered Alan in my office. He was there because the warden was concerned
about his erratic behaviour.
Alan and I went back a long way. He had a history of arrests
for crack cocaine use, but now his last known date of use was five years ago.
It is not unusual for patients with visual hallucinations to
report visions of monsters or other supernatural objects, so I sent him back after
prescribing medication.
Loud screams sent the guards to his room in the night, where
only ashes were found with no trace of Alan.

I'd love read what you think about this post...
Not hallucinating after all...
ReplyDeleteEye don't think so....
DeleteThey should have listened
ReplyDeleteEye totally agree
DeleteCreepy ending! He should have been listened to.

Eye am with you on that one.
DeleteSometimes you need to listen to the patients... As soon as I read the name Alan next to the words "eye in the sky" I had that song in mind. Well, OK, I should say I had that song in mind since I titled my FF this week Eye in the Sky. I just didn't include Alan.
ReplyDeleteEye love that song too
DeleteSee, you need to pay attention. You never know when someone is telling you the truth :)
ReplyDeleteIt can all change in the blink of an eye.
DeleteNot all the inmates are crazy, and perhaps the keepers are the fools. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteThey should have kept an eye on that one.
DeleteThey only believe when it is too late!
ReplyDeleteToo late to be singing 'now eye am a believer'.
DeleteDear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteThey should've listened. Eye enjoyed this.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle, eye am glad you did.
DeleteAliens have taken Alan. Should warden be happy that one less problem for him or he should be worried about the eye in the sky? Raises a few questions.
ReplyDeleteEye think you raise a very important question Abhijit.
Deleteeven if they believed him, i don't think they could prevent it from happening. he was doomed from the get go.
ReplyDeleteEye agree plaridel he was doomed from the first blink.
DeleteInteresting take and thank you for posting the beautiful song. Jilly, Sugar on the Bee.
ReplyDeleteEye am glad you liked it Jilly.
DeleteI love the twist, he should have listened to Alan. =)
ReplyDeleteThere was more to it than meets the eye.
DeleteI love the twisted ending. Clever and impactful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Deborah, eye am glad you liked it.
DeleteVery creepy ending!
ReplyDeleteIt's an eye watering tale for sure.
DeleteOh dear. Someone should have listened to Alan!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Jennifer, they should have cast an eye over his concerns.
DeleteWhatever he does he can't take that Eye off him :-)
ReplyDeleteFirst I do remember that Alan Parson's song... love the mystery... self combustion?
ReplyDeleteThanks Björn. It is a mystery, self combustion or the all seeing eye?
Deletecould be aliens, but i immediately thought of spontaneous human combustion, both equally unlikely i'd say. A really good piece
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting. He was in the eye of the storm.
