Inpatient: Episode 0
samhatt for Henry
The newest inductee into the inpatient ward, Henry is an average 20-something nobody with no real ambitions in life.
He's tired with life but puts on a brave face. He's cynical, lithe, and young looking. But above all else he's a vulnerable man who's in over his head.
He should sound mid to low pitched. He's just another 20-something, after all. As average as they come.
Characteristics:
> Caucasian
> 6'2"
> Age: 21
> Short, brown hair
> Blue eyes
(At the end of his rope, tired and done with life, Henry has taken a bottle of pills and mixed it with some alcohol. He says goodbye to his life.)
Henry:
Goodbye...(With tears in his eyes, Henry explains to two nurses that he wanted to die.)
Henry:
I wanted to die. I shouldn't be here. I was supposed to just drift off in my sleep. I wasn't supposed to wake up, but they found me and dragged me here.(Talking about how he ended up in inpatient.)
Henry:
It’s complicated... It’s not that easy. I already looked for help, I saw therapists, I tried meds but nothing really worked. Part of it is my fault, sure, I should have been more honest... but part of me just didn’t want to bother with any of it.
