Red Walls

Doctor Shall watched as his patient scratched away at the white wall.

“Thimbleton,” screamed Catalina," Where are you?" She was scratching so hard that her fingers had started to bleed. “Please help me! Where are you! If I can get through this wall, then the doctor said I could leave! Please help me…please…”
The tiny girl continued to claw her way at the wall, leaving red marks against the wallpaper.
It wasn’t until Nurse Johnson walked into the room that she stopped.
“Nurse Johnson,” asked Catalina, “where is Thimbleton?”
Nurse Johnson’s face turned white as she saw the look of the little girl.
“Doctor Shall, what have you done to the poor girl?” she asked.

Doctor Shall grinned as he observed his patient. “She’s entertaining me, that’s all.”
“But sir, it is late…Please, let me give her her medication and send her to bed.”
Doctor Shall raised his hand in dissaproval.
“Miss Johnson…I think I know what’s best for my daughter.”
