Banana Phone

It wouldn't shut up.
I told it that I couldn't talk to it anymore, they were watching me, and if they saw me they would take me away. It wouldn't listen, it kept talking to me, telling me what I should do. I didn't want to listen, but I knew I had no choice, the more I tried to block it out the louder it would get. It was telling me I should run away, get away from the men in white who were watching. I tried to explain that they were watching, and they would stop me if I tried to run. They were staring at me now, I could see them turn towards me. I wanted to hide, be anywhere but in their sight.
It started to ring. I didn't want to pick it up, if I picked it up they would come over, they would take me away from it. I didn't like it in the room, in the room it was quiet, no one talked to me. They didn't let me out, and when I was alone I would think that maybe they were right, maybe it was all just in my head and it didn't really talk to me. It got angry when it found out that I was siding with them. It yelled when it was angry, made my ears ring.
I picked it up, answered it. They started moving towards me.
"The guard left to get a drink, you can make it out the door if you run fast enough."
There was no time to talk myself out of it this time. When it told me what to do, I had to listen. I jumped up from my seat, and they started moving faster. I was quicker than them, I was smarter, I was sane, they were crazy. I ran for the door, I could hear them behind me. I pushed my way through the door, I could see the exit. I ran as fast as I could. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the guard coming towards me, he had his stick out. It spoke to me.
"Gonna get you, gonna make you hurt, better run faster."
I was out the door, I could smell the fresh air. I ran into the street, I needed to get to the other side, they wouldn't run into the street to follow me. They would go around, they thought I was crazy.
I never even knew the truck hit me. I woke up in the room, and everything was silent.
