At 3 am, Grace was pacing around the house. She looked out the window, saw a man with a gun coming down the street. Horrified, she realized he was coming to her door. Stifling a scream, she fled out the back door. Adrenaline charged, she raced down the sidewalk. Footsteps pounded behind her. Lungs gasping, legs agonizing, she stumbled, fell. Cowering on the ground, she waited breathless, panicking. Overwhelming waiting exploded time.
Suddenly she was grabbed. She fought back. Pain, then her brain metlted. In the hospital, they treated her for a psychotic break caused by a manic episode.

Thank you for reading my story and commenting. I would also like to add that it is fairly common for elderly people with infections to have vivid, and sometimes scary, hallucinations. Treat the infection, the hallucinations go away.

A vicious attack by her own brain. Possibly even worse than a physical attack.

Terrifying, and so real for Grace.

Sometimes running is the only logical response- real or not. Comments are closed.
