I present you a new shrink-adventure from the 6th floor. If you like to join the weekendfreewrite please do. See @mariannewest.

The clanking and stomping didn't stop all night.

Up the stairs, down the stairs - all she wanted was sleep.
They say it was a place to rest. Once out here she would feel better. Better? Did no one ever sleep here? She went out of bed and had a look in the hallway. It was crowdy as usual. The other guest was walking up and down, chatting to themselves which was the only good thing. No way you could keep a discussion with them. Toothless, clothless and brainless.
The only ones missing were those who took care of us. "Taking" care was relative. Not even counting heads was a part of it.

Some people say why do I keep going?
(Prompt delivered by @myjob).
Good question and that is exactly what I ask myself. There is not one single, good reason for staying here.

"Hey, Cleo. Good to see you."

Wow, someone knows mine.

"Quickly, get dressed we are leaving within 15 minutes. What took you so long."

What took me so long? Dressing up not takes long! I grab my pair of trousers, vest, and jacket and pull them on.
"My beanie, where is my beanie!"
Bewildered I look around me. Where is it? When did it fell off?

"Cleoooo!"

Nervously I search my bed, the ground. Jacket out, pullover out. It fell on the floor.
I grab my stuff and ran out of the hallway.

They waited for me and a grin. The free spirits of the 6th floor build something amazing out of the beds and pushed it through the window.

"What do you think?"

"What do I think? You.."

"You could have to wake me up earlier!" Peter shouts

He comes with baggage he can hardly carry.

"What is all that..."

"Let's go before he spoils everything", Tim whispers. He grabs my hand and we ran to the stairway. A stairway out, to heaven. Our therapy group discussed it once and it became true. Some of us set goals and work to succeed.

"Life, here we come", Tim shouted as he holds my hand and we both jumped.

"Thank you! This is my best Thanksgiving ever."

He smiled, smiled at me and still did as we hid the floor.
