Chapter 33

Our walk over to the institution could have been more eventful. However, at a certain point, we did gather some interest from a group of teenagers riding past us with their bikes. While adequately dressed, I was still walking with three girls wearing hot pants and crop tops. And they were gorgeous as hell. So yeah, even while not showing any naughty bits, they could still attract the attention of those boys. Luckily, they rode on before we reached the building.

The building was a beautiful mansion. It was much bigger than a standard house and looked like it was still being used. I hadn’t expected something like this when Nele mentioned a psychiatric institution earlier. Although I must confess, the building’s style perfectly matched the town’s. If you didn’t know what it had been used for, you would have guessed that the landlord of this town lived here.

Nele directed us to the back of the mansion. There were two doors, and she walked up to the one at the left of the building. I was surprised that Nele could just open the door. Even when this building was abandoned, I had been sure all entrances would have been locked.

“I don’t know who did this, but someone must have unlocked this door a while ago,” Nele explained. “A friend of mine found out about it and told me. That’s when I came up with the idea of a photoshoot in the building. I have been here a few times to explore the building and found a few interesting rooms.”

“Are we allowed in here,” I asked.

“I’m not sure. I know some teenagers hang out here sometimes, but I have never heard anyone get into trouble because they were here. I guess the Sheriff’s department let them be here as long as they don’t start breaking things.”

“Yeah, I know my brother has been here a few times,” Jennifer said. “He told me one of the deputies once caught them, but he didn’t chase them away. He told my brother and his friends that they would leave them alone if they were hanging out and not doing anything illegal. I have even heard that the Mayor’s office has plans for this building next year. They want to turn it into a youth center, and some other organizations will also be able to use the top floor and attic. So, for now, they let kids alone when they are in here, as long as they don’t vandalize anything.”

“Oh, I didn’t know about that,” Nele said. “Cool, then we won’t get into trouble.”

I noticed Nele was thinking momentarily, and then she said, “Okay, follow me.”

While we walked through the building, I noticed it was still in a perfect state. The rooms we passed still had all their furniture, as if they were ready to be used. Sure, I could see a little dust on the tables in the rooms, but everything was still perfect for the rest.

The ground floor and first floor looked like they could be used as a regular house. Nothing suggested that this was a medical care facility. When we reached the second floor, it suddenly looked like we were in some kind of hospital.

At the top of the stairs, we entered a waiting area with a counter at the back where people had to register. There stood a row of benches in front of it. To the right and left were double doors, which were closed.

I was sure that if this had been abandoned a few decades ago, this building would already have been vandalized. A lot of the stuff still here, like computers, would have been stolen by now. Luckily, today, these are stories of the past. Society has really gotten much better, especially in the past ten years. While Earth was close to a new extinction event in the early twenty-first century, today, we have left the troubling times behind us, and most past conflicts are bygone. Free energy, primarily electricity, has made life much easier for everyone.

Nele seemed unsure for a moment. She turned to face us and said, “I have a little story in mind that I would like to film, and I’m sure it could also be useful for a website.” That last part was meant for me, of course.

“Do you think you and you,” she pointed at me and Jennifer, “would like to do a little acting?”

“Sure,” I said.

“Could be fun,” Jennifer added.

“Good,” Nele said, smiling. “I have been fantasizing about this since my first time here. However, I never found anyone who could play the main character.”

I noticed she suddenly had a naughty smile when she looked at me. So, I was sure it was going to be something sexy.

“Follow me,” Nele said and walked towards the double doors to the right.

Behind the door was a hallway. It had several entries to the left and right, and at the end of the hallway, there was a reception area with another door behind it. We followed Nele to the door in the back, and when she opened it, we walked into a room that looked like it had been used as a psychiatrist’s office. At the far side, in front of a vast window, stood a desk with a comfortable chair behind it. In front of the desk were two more regular chairs. To the right was a bookcase, but it was empty. To the left was a coffee table with a single sofa and a long couch. On the long couch lay a pillow at both ends.

Nele went to the window and opened the curtains to let the sunlight in. I noticed she was looking at the sofas.

“This should be enough light for what I want to do,” she said.

“What do you want to do,” Naomi wanted to know.

Nele then walked up to a door to the room’s left, walked inside, and came out carrying what looked like a white doctor’s coat.

“Jennifer, I want you to put this on,” Nele said while giving her the coat.

Jennifer put it on and buttoned it up. Ultimately, she was completely covered with it, and only the upper part of the crop top was still visible at the neckline.

“I want you to play the part of the psychologist,” Nele said. “And Anita will play the part of the patient.”

“Okay,” Jennifer said.

“What do I have to do?” I asked Nele.

She smiled at me and said, “You’re going to play the part of a nymphomaniac.”

“A nymphomaniac?” I let out and couldn’t help but smile.

“I’m not going to say what you guys have to say,” Nele said. “Just try to improvise. However, at the end of the skit, Anita, you will try to seduce Jennifer in any way possible. And you, Jennifer, you will ... oh, wait, I forgot something.”

Nele ran out of the room and returned a couple of minutes later. I noticed she had a syringe with her, although without a needle attached to it. She gave it to Jennifer and said, “Put this in your coat’s pocket. In the end, I want Anita straddling your legs, and this is the point where you pull out the syringe and act like you give her a shot with it. Anita, you will get up, act like you’re getting dizzy, and then drop to the floor. Do you think you could do that?”

“I’ll try,” I told Nele. I hadn’t acted before, but I would do my best.

“Sure, no problem,” Jennifer said.

“Okay, we will start with you,” Nele pointed at Jennifer, “sitting behind your desk and Anita knocking on the door. When Anita comes in, you get up and move towards the sofas. Jennifer then tells Anita to lie on the long couch while she sits on the single sofa; from there, she can start improvising. Okay?”

We both nodded in agreement.

Nele then went to Naomi and asked for the camera. Naomi would stay to the side and try to take some photos with the DSLR.

With everything said, I went outside and waited for Nele to call me.

For the more special videos I made, I will tell the story like how the video was published on my website, which will be from a third-person point of view. However, I will take some creative writing to add little details that couldn’t be shown in the video because the props we used didn’t have these details on them.
