[ WP ] A heroin addict wakes up from and overdose in the hospital . During his near death he has a premonition and sees the murder of the doctor that saved him 3 days from now .

`` Where... where am I?'' he asked as he opened his eyes. His vision was blurry and his mind hazy. A second passes and he screams at the top of his lungs, `` Where the fuck am I?''. 
 
 `` You are at St. Mary's hospital'' the nurse replied. 
 
 `` Why the fuck am I strapped on the bed?'' 
 
 `` You should n't exert yourself like that. You had an overdose. It's standard procedure for overdoses that may be an attempt of suicide. Thankfully those skater kids found you before it was too late. You're lucky to be alive. I'll go fetch the doctor to check up on you''. 
 
 His vision went back to normal and he tried to make sense of the situation. `` What is this? Some kind of sick joke? What kids? I tried to off my sorry ass and some punk kids just happened to find me? I was n't even in a public space. I was... I was... Where was I? The last place I remember being was that gas station. But I tried to end it in my garage, where my kids would n't find me. This makes no sense. And the memory is so vivid, but it's fragmented. I can only remember a few seconds of it. That man. The blood. It was too real.'' 
 
 `` How are we feeling Mr Andrews? ``, the doctor asked as he entered the room. `` You gave us quite a scare.'' 
 
 `` Did I now? I was planning on more than that. And please call me Ben. ``, he said as he turned his head towards the doctor. He was immediately paralysed with fear when he recognised the doctors face. `` It's you! It ca n't be... You're dead! I watched you get shot at that gas station.'' He pauses for a brief moment and tries to piece the information together. He was in his garage when he overdosed. Of that he is sure of. He did n't care any more about how the skater kids found him. 
 
 `` Well Mr Andrews... I'm sorry, Ben, I can assure you I am very much alive. I can verify that because I'm a doctor you see. My name is Dr Dorien.'' 
 
 `` But I saw it happen. I... It could n't have been in my imagination. But how can my memory of the gas station be after the one in my garage?'''' 
 
 `` The mind is a powerful tool. You were probably dreaming or hallucinating. So how are you feeling?'' 
 
 `` I'm so confused. It felt so real. I guess I feel fine, no thanks to trying though. When can I go home?'' 
 
 `` I'm afraid we have to keep you here for a few more days to make sure there are no complications with the treatment we gave you. These things affect each person differently. I'll be back to check on you in a few hours.'' 
 
 A police officer approached the doctor as he stepped outside the room informing him that a suicide note was found in Ben's kitchen. The doctor turned to face Ben with a disappointed look. He already pieced that together from the previous remark made by Ben. That somehow lost its relevance during the whole'I saw you die' episode, but the officer confirmed it for him. 
 
 `` Shit, they know I deliberately overdosed. I have to get out of here before they lock me up in a mental hospital. In there I'll have to get really creative if I want to try it again. But how? I'm strapped. Just my luck. Fucking kids had to show up. How did they even find me? I was in a closed garage. Do n't get sidetracked, I have to plan my escape.'' 
 
 His inner monologue was disrupted by his wives crying voice. `` Honey you're OK. I was so worried. The police called me as soon as my plane landed and I came straight here. I told my mom to keep the kids for a few more days. You said you had it under control. You said you kicked it a while back. We'll get you the help you need. We'll get you the best.'' 
 
 Little did she know that Ben never really stopped using. He was just more clever about it. He used when his wife was away on business, which was often enough. If he had to use when she was home, he'd make up some excuse to come home late. 
 
 She went on saying more. Not that Ben listened. He did n't care. He could n't. He had only one thought consuming him. 
 
 The following day the doctor told Ben that because he attempted suicide he was to be transferred to a hospital with a mental ward. The transfer would take place in 2 days since the other hospital was full until that day. It was deemed a better alternative than sending him to another one that was available that same day but was further away where his wife and kids could n't visit as often. 
 
 `` 2 days. That's when I'll do it. That's when I'll run away and finally do it.'' 
 
 The days passed and it was time for Ben to be transferred. He was in the loving company of his wife and his 2 children, who just thought that daddy had a tummy ache. A police car pulls over in front of them as they were exiting the hospital. As an officer steps out and walks right next to him, Ben quickly elbows him in the chin and he falls on the ground. Before the other officer can react, a midst of all the screaming from his family and the other bystanders, he quickly grabs the officers gun and runs to the convenience store next door. He enters through the back door, locks it, and puts the gun in his mouth. A few moments pass and he could n't bring himself to pull the trigger. Something about using a gun on himself made it impossible for him. He makes his way into the store, fires one shot towards the ceiling and yells `` Everybody up against the windows now! Face outside and keep your hands on the glass above you.'' 
 
 One person immediately makes a run at him to disarm him without giving it a second thought. Ben aims the gun at him but the other man was already too close. He jumps on Ben just as he fires another shot right next to him. Ben drops the gun and they they both land quite hard on the floor. Ben quickly grabs a bottle from the shelf and hits him on the head knocking him out briefly. He rushes back up and grabs the gun. `` Up against the windows. Now! If anyone else tries to be a hero you'll be fucking sorry.'' He points the gun to the man that attacked him and says `` You too hero. Window. Now.'' 
 
 In disbelief that he actually pulled that off he takes a few breaths as he's thinking what to do next. A red liquid that was pooling from underneath some shelves caught his eye. He felt compelled to investigate. As he approached a man lay on the floor with blood coming out of the hole in his chest. He still could n't see his face but he was having an eerie feeling of deja vu. He takes another step and sees Dr Dorien's face. `` What have I done?'' he muttered as he turned his gaze out the window and saw the gas pumps. 
 
 The police arrived by the time this was all over. The other officers from the hospital were there from the beginning but waited outside as this was a hostage situation now. In a confused state he makes the most rational decision of that evening. `` Everyone back off from the windows and move to your left. Get behind the wall. Stay clear of the door and windows.'' 
 
 He steps outside, gun in hand, tears in his eyes. `` Put down your weapon'', one officer shouts. 
 
 `` I killed him. I saw it before it happened. It was me.'' 
 
 `` I repeat. Put down your weapon or we will shoot.'' 
 
 `` It does n't matter now. I wanted this. Now I actually deserve it'' Ben said as he raised his weapon toward the police.
