Chapter 1: The Confession
Dr. Emily Harris adjusted her glasses, glancing at the clock on the wall. It was almost noon, and her new patient, Alex Turner, was late. She scanned through his file for the third time, noting the usual flags—history of schizophrenia, frequent hospitalizations, and a string of therapists who had tried and failed to make a breakthrough.
Her office door creaked open, and Alex shuffled in. Tall and gaunt, he had the look of someone who had seen too much of the world in too short a time. His eyes darted around the room, finally settling on Emily. He offered a tentative smile as he sat down, his hands trembling slightly.
Mr. Turner, I’m Dr. Harris,
she said, extending her hand. Please, call me Emily.
Alex took her hand briefly, his grip weak. Alex,
he replied, his voice barely above a whisper.
Emily settled into her chair, observing him carefully. So, Alex, what brings you here today?
Alex stared at his hands, his fingers twisting together. I—I need to tell you something,
he stammered. Something that I saw.
Go on,
Emily encouraged, keeping her voice gentle.
Alex took a deep breath, his eyes flickering to the window. I saw a man get murdered,
he said, his voice cracking.
Emily felt a chill run down her spine. She had heard many confessions in her career, but there was something different about Alex. His words had a weight to them, a gravity that demanded attention.
Where did this happen?
she asked, keeping her tone neutral.
In an alley, near the old art studio I used to go to,
Alex replied, his gaze distant. I was there, painting. It was late. I heard a noise, and when I looked out the window, I saw him.
Can you describe what you saw?
Emily asked, leaning forward slightly.
Alex nodded, his eyes wide. There was this man, tall and wearing a dark coat. He had a knife. The other guy, he was on the ground, bleeding. I could see the blood, so much blood.
Emily's mind raced. Alex's account was vivid, almost too vivid. Did you call the police?
she asked.
Alex shook his head, a look of fear crossing his face. No. I—I couldn’t. They wouldn’t believe me. They never do.
Emily considered this. It was true that Alex’s history made him an unreliable witness in the eyes of the law. Why do you think they wouldn’t believe you?
she probed gently.
Alex’s eyes locked onto hers, desperation etched into his features. Because of my past. Because of what happened before.
He paused, swallowing hard. But this time, I know what I saw. I’m not crazy, Dr. Harris. You have to believe me.
Emily nodded slowly, her mind working through the implications. I believe you saw something that disturbed you, Alex. Whether it was real or not, it’s clearly affecting you deeply. I want to help you. Can you show me where this happened?
Alex hesitated, then nodded. I can show you. But it’s not safe. He might still be out there.
Emily felt a twinge of unease but pushed it aside. We’ll be careful,
she assured him. "I think it’s
