I wake up. I'm in a white room. Not a hospital room, but something similar. I'm dressed differently. A white gown, dress-like. Where am I?

I hear, "Hello? Hello?" In a tired, raspy voice. I don't recognize it until I realize my mouth is moving. I'm speaking. "Where am I?" I ask aloud.

Heavy footsteps come from outside a heavy door. It opens cautiously. A plump woman with short brown hair and a lab coat pokes her head in.

"Delilah?" she asked nervously. I waved, uncertain of who she was. "Hello. Do you know where I am?" The last thing I remember, I was at home.

Her eyes widen, and a corner of a smile appears on her mouth. "My god, " she whispers. You're lucid!" She walks in, more confident and happy. "I'm Dr. Millicent Buford! I'm so happy you're finally conscious after all this time!"

"Dr. Buford? You're not Dr. Buford. Dr. Buford is thin and tiny and old and...and..."

Her face falls. "Delilah, You don't know whats going on, do you?" She asked pitifully. I look at her, confused.

"Delilah, you have Solipsism syndrome. It's a psychological state and condition in which you make up a reality in your mind. It started when you wrote those notes to yourself."

"Write the notes myself? I didn't!" I said, confused and hurt.

Millicent sighed. "You did. Then you killed your ex-husband and their security camera footage of you slitting a poor girl's neck at a nearby daycare. "

"I didn't do any of that! Where's Heaven? I didn't cut her!" I practically screamed

"Delilah," Said Dr. Buford, "I'm going to hold your hand when I say this. Heaven Isn't Real. None of it was. You burned your shop. avery was your employee who called the fire department. You killed your family and shot yourself in your home."

"But how did I get here? All of that was recently...wasn't it?"

Dr. Buford shook her head. "You've been living this made-up life for 2 years."

I couldn't speak or move. I had done horrible, horrible things. I would never forgive myself.

Millicent's smile returned. "But now you're lucid, we can work to help you!"

"We can make you better..."
