This post is written for Friday Fictioneers. The challenge is to write a short story in 100 words or less with a beginning, middle and end using the picture prompt below.
Looking outside it looks festive, but I can’t really tell from where I stand.
There are twelve of us waiting in line all wearing our white pajamas, hands cuffed in front, to receive our meds from the doctor who is behind a glass partition. He puts two pills inside a small dixie cup. The green one is the magic one. He makes sure you swallow. I have learned to hide the green one under my tongue. I take it before going to bed. It helps me keep what is left of my sanity.
I will get out. Be prepared.
Oh Danny Boy! 
This intrigued me. If he should be out I hope he gets out, but if he’s dangerous I hope he stays. This sparked memories of One Flew over the Cuckoo nest. Well written.

Seems he’s determined to break free. Is that good, is that bad? Intriguing.

Oh my! If his wits are enough about him to know to keep the green pills for night, maybe there is hope for him!

Great story. I seem to be more sympathetic to your protagonist than other readers. You really put us into their mindset.
