The caretaker took Devin by the hand and lead him down a corridor where he's never been before - one filled with rooms similar to the one he's been staying in he thought. Now that he was away from the screens it was dawning on him just how strange and weird things got but he had not a sliver of will to fight back or escape. He wondered what was going to happen next.
- Here we are - the man said - Nurse Joy will see you now.
They went into a large, empty clinical room. It was mostly empty except for a chair that looked like it belonged in a dentist's office not a nurses. The nurse came out wearing a long white lab coat and quickly gestured him towards the chair. And when he sat down, she came over and whispered something to the caretaker. The man nodded and came forward and started strapping him down to the chair - and you couldn't resist.
- You're probably still awake and aware in that little head of yours of what's going on - the nurse said - and you're wondering what's going to happen, I'll tell you as by the time we're done, you won't remember any of this.
He looked at her surprised and scared "What will happen to me?"
- You Devin are going to go through a process that will wipe your mind clean and reshape your body to better suit the new mind you will shortly receive - she said - you will be physically a seven year old with a mind of a retarded child, happily spending your days watching our hypnotic cartoons and shitting your pants for however long we will keep you. - she added.
You were horrified, he started to scream but then the caretaker put a pacifier in his mouth and strapped it behind his head like a gag.
- No point resisting boy, your dad already knows you ran away, there's no point in screaming. Have fun while it lasts. - she scolded.
Then she put a helmet on his head and he heard a switch flipping and then he was overwhelmed with a headache like none before, he felt unable to think like his whole head was being turned inside out and then his vision was filled with a bombardment of images he couldn't truly perceive and his ears with sounds he couldn't fathom. He couldn't tell how long it went on, he couldn't think but when the helmet was taken off his looked around the room.
He tried to remember what was before but couldn't, then he remembered - He's Collin, he's 5, and he loves diapies, his happy friends, cartoons, toys and fun.
The nurse helped him down and the caretaker took him to his room. He spent a few hours watching his favorite cartoons then they put him to sleep in his crib and as he fell asleep he pooped his diapies and fell asleep thinking just how good of a boy he was, excited to wake up the next day. And as he did the cameras captured everything - they were watching, and they liked what they made him into, more would be required.
