this Monster Inside Me- Shaneeza Rahim

Dr Harris:  How are you feeling dear?

Isabelle:  Can't you feel it crawling?  Escalating like wild fire?

Dr Harris:  Are you okay? Whats escalating?

Isabelle clutched her hair, a frantic expression on her face.

Isabelle:  No No No! you don't understand Its igniting, like gasoline. Burning me.

at this point Isabelle's eyes seemed vacant as if she wasn't really there lost in her own mind.

Dr Harris:  Talk to me dear! what are you seeing whats burning you?

Isabelle:   Its so hot so ferociously strong Everything's on fire! oh God, it feels like my entire world is ablaze? I don't understand I'm confused.

Isabelle's arms were wrapped Defensibly around her body ad if she was trying to shield herself, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Dr Harris:  Isabelle its okay, you are not really there  you are safe nothing can harm you..

Isabelle: No! cant you feel it crawling?  its a never-ending fight: A battle that cannot be won:  A Greek tragedy, just waiting to unfold a  ticking time bomb. a fire of chaos.
Isabelle: Its this monster inside me trying to escape. Oh god it hurts! please make it stop?

Isabelle almost sounded prophetic as if she was predicting her fate, she sounded factual and monotone as if she was disconnected from all this. It wasn't until she screamed for help that emotions broke through her facade.

Dr Harris; Isabelle, don't worry it's okay! Just relax and it will all be over.

Isabelle suddenly stiffened and turn to face the doctor.

Isabelle: It kicks, it screams, it demands out. This is one battle i have to win.
She started to have an intense fit, her hands reaching up to try and claw at her body.

Isabelle: The fire will never burn out. cant you feel it crawling?

Dr. Harris: that's it! Nurse, she is trying to harm herself we have to hold her down!
She managed to get a few more words out before she blanked out, Dr. Harries approaching with a needle, his face appearing menacing in the light.

Isabelle: The voices, they feel like poison, so hot and searing.

Isabelle: cant you feel it crawling.
