Juliet & The Therapist

Juliet woke up from a deep sleep. She yawned, and looked here and there, the train was full of people but she couldn't find a porter. She began thinking about how did she get on the train and where is she going now. She stood up and looked at the passengers but none of them looked back at her.

The train jolted, she quickly sat back on the seat waiting for someone to come from whom she could find any clue about where the train is going. She looked at her seat if there was any ticket but no, there wasn't any.

She had to pee so badly but she was scared to move around as she didn’t know what was going on. Somehow she managed to get up and head toward the toilet. As she reached the door of the toilet, she saw that the latch was rattling, and she got scared. The train was jolting due to which the latch was shaking and creating noise. But she didn’t get in the toilet and ran away to her seat. She sat down again.

Juliet looked out the window but there was nothing but withered fields and it was showing no signs of stopping the train. Juliet felt as if the train was derailing and would hit at any moment. She thought that her life would end today as she had no way to escape now.

As the train passed under the tunnel, it became dark inside. Well, she fell asleep sitting on the seat. She saw a girl in a white dress with red stains holding a knife in her hand and walking toward her seat. The knife was smeared with fresh blood and dripping. That girl had a terrible smile on her face, Juliet screamed and woke up. It was a bad dream, but she could not get control over her fear and faint.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in the hospital. Tried to ask the nurse but she silenced her by saying you are not feeling well right now, take a rest. There was a report on the side table and she was a bit satisfied to see the name of the hospital on it because it was quite close to her house. Lenox Hill Hospital it was.

She closed her eyes and wondered what had happened and how did I get on the train. Suddenly she remembered the scene that had caused her to faint. Juliet started screaming, the nurse rushed to the ward. She checked her and gave her the relaxing pill.

She was kept under observation in the hospital for almost a week. The therapist handled her as if she was a two-year-old kid. It took her many days to get over every terrible memory. That accident scared Juliet so much that she lost faith in her life. It seemed to her that now she would never be able to get out of the strange memories of that day. Often, Juliet gets scared while sleeping, but her therapist did a great job and she began to recover.

The doctors paid more attention to her diet than her medicines. Due to severe shock, her body became very weak. Her therapist started giving her fresh fruit juice daily which gave her strength and she was able to stand up without getting dizzy.

Juliet's expression of joy when the therapist told her that “you are now well enough to go home” was worth seeing. She was very happy that now she will live her life again.

She thanked the doctor and walked home happily.
