The Intake Session
By Katie Lowe
 
“Tell me a little about yourself.”
“I have 3,000 children.”
“If you had 3,000 children you would be tired…”
“I didn’t personally father them all. The government took semen from my underwear.”
“Why would they do that?”
“To create an army. They bioengineered them to be full grown at birth. I saw some of them the other day. They were disguised as regular people at the Day Treatment Program.”
“Why would the government want to use your semen to create an army?”
“When I was a child I hit my head and got a brain injury. When the doctors did surgery on my head they put implants in my head to make me smarter.”
“What do they want an army for?”
“To create a new race. Genetically enhanced, smarter, and they never get sick. They’re going to kill anyone who tries to stop them.”
“Why is this army disguised as regular people?”
“They’re waiting for the right time. They can’t reveal their plan until everything is in place.”
“What do you hope to get out of treatment here?”
“It wasn’t my choice to be here. They put listening devices in my ears so they could hear everything I was saying. I figured out their plan and told somebody. The government found a way to make sure nobody believed me.”
“How did they do that?”
“They changed my medical records. Put in there that I was schizophrenic. Shot me up with Haldol. Now nobody believes me, but at least I’m safe here.”
“Why wouldn’t they just kill you? Why go through the trouble of changing your records and all of that?”
“Because a murder would be suspicious. It’s safer to neutralize me by discrediting me.”
“Okay, Mr. Thompson, that’s all the questions I have for you. I’ll show you to your room so you can get settled. Dinner is at six, then medications get dispensed. We will have a group session before bedtime. Any questions?”
“Nope. I can tell you don’t believe me, but that’s okay. If you did, they would be after you, too.”
