Epilogue

Johnny plopped down on the couch, his eyes fixed on the TV that was currently playing an episode of The Munsters. Two-Bit was staring at the television, a zombie-like expression on his face.

There was something off about Johnny. Ever since he left the asylum, he was different. His eyes were no longer suspicious and fearful; they were hard, plastic-looking. He wasn't sweet and quiet, either. Now Johnny was loud, sarcastic, and opinionated about everything. He was more like Dallas, without the hood-like behaviour.

Still, there were moments when the old Johnny would appear, and those moments were the ones that the gang held onto.

Johnny watched as Herman threw a temper-tantrum, and his mind began to wander. Taylor's face appeared in his mind, and he wondered what would have happened if the boy hadn't been shot. If they had all gotten out alive, and unscathed.

But see, Johnny... I did get out. I'm inside your mind. Taylor's voice stated simply.

Why, though?

Because, the asylum will always be a part of you. Iso changes people, Johnny. You'll always be with us.

-The End-

Ew.
Sounds like the ending to a Twilight Zone episode.
Or Goosebumps, your choice.
