Description (Human): Two ice blue eyes follow in your direction as you feel the weight of them set on you. Your gaze traces
their way to him. A human male stands in the center of the crowded room. He wears faded jeans and a white dress shirt with
the sleeves rolled up under a dark blue hoodie. The look on his face is both menacing yet sane. A large smirk stretches its
way across his face, almost startling you. He pulls his hood up and turns to leave before looking back at you then disappears
into the crowd.
Donnie grew up in a small town in Virginia. When he was young his behavior started to portray a different person. Scared
that their son was slowly slipping away, his parents took him to a psychiatrist. They later found out that Donnie had Paranoid
Schizophrenia. Every week he would visit his doctor, and take his medication. However, after taking them he often hallucinated,
taking on a new 'friend' called Frank. It wasn't until fate caught up to him and a very beautiful Ezmerelda White invited
him to dinner. She befriended him despite of his issues and he returned the friendship. It wasn't long until Donnie realized
how much she meant to him and from then on was devoted to her. But as the sun rises, it does set as well. A pleading Donnie
begged her to leave him. Leave him before she would witness what he feared the most; his madness overtaking him. She granted
his wishes, and they agreed to break it off. But who knew that without Ezzy there, he quickly succumbed to the darkness which
eventually took control of his mind.
The darkness was in fact the entity known as "Braedan". Braedan made sure Donnie was kept in check. But if it
wasn't for the brave Ezzy, Donnie certaintly would be dead right now. However, though she fought Braedan and won, the dark
entity came back and completely overtook Donnie. Nobody knows how or when, or even why, but Braedan left just as quickly as
he came.
Donnie woke up to the bright lights of Cedar Hill, a mental ward where he stayed for two months. When he got back to his
home, he was a very changed man. Under the care of Dr. Thurman, Donnie has become the poster child his parents always wanted.
He only has medicated-induced thoughts and no memory of his past. The journal he once possessed was taken by Thurman while
he was in the "coma". He has no recollection of even owning one. The only bit of evidence of his former self is
his sketch book, which was discovered by him.
One night, after sitting in front of his sketchbook for hours, Donnie decided to get up and go to Dr. Thurman. He didn't
even realize it was past his time for his medication...
He drove up to her office, car hidden underneath the cloak of midnight. The windows were dark, as he tried the front door.
Nothing. He shook it with all his fury, thinking of the doctor's smiling face, telling him that crazy things happen to people
all the time and that if he just took two pills, it will be okay for him...
Then it happened...
Rage, pure and raw surged through his veins as if his body was hungry for it all along. He picked up the closest rock
and threw it through the window, glass shattering into a million specks of moonlight onto the pavement.. The next bit happened
as if in slow motion. He stomped in, knowing exactly what to do... Two hands grabbing the fire poker from the opposite side
of the room. He went to the desk, glaring at the lock. A flash of memory soared past him: Donnie walked into the office, a
bright smile on his face as usual. "Dr. Th-" "DONNIE!" She quickly put something in her desk and slammed
it. "I thought you weren't due for another hour?" She asked, as he could smell her medicinal odor. It burned his
nose. "B-But it's Friday, Dr. Thurman...We start at 10:30..." He would say, looking highly confused and at this
point curious. Dr. Thurman shook her head, smiling, "oh how silly of me." "What was that?" "What
was what, Donnie?" He hesitated, though pointed at the desk like a child. Her demeanour changed quickly, though he towered
over her, she still looked a hundred feet bigger to him. "Now you listen Donald...Don't go poking your nose into different
affairs other than your own. It won't help you..." "But-" "NO DONNIE! Do you hear me?" Her voice
was like a sniveling teacher, who hated children. "You must focus on what's important." He nodded, mechanically
so.. "And what is important, Donald?" Icy blues faded a bit, his voice robotic.. "To learn the untaught and
to control what is learned..."
An animalistic yell boiled out of him before he began hacking away at the desk, chips and shards flying everywhere until...
*POP* ...The drawer hung loosely like a creature who lost it's will to defend. And there it was... A tattered journal. This?
This is what she has kept from me?! But all thoughts were extinguished when he read the inside... "The Collective Thoughts
Of Donnie Darko." He touched the writing, it was done by his hand. He felt his breath quicken and heart racing. Then
sirens somewhere were calling out, growing louder... The car... He thought, jumping over the desk when papers that were binded
fell out from the journal. He read the Title:
"VCSD Department of Psychiatry
The Diagnosis And Treatment Of Patient # 0118
He quickly gathered it up and bolted out of the door. Within seconds he was speeding down the freeway. His mind was on
fire, knowing now that this is was anger was. This is what hate truly feels like. He didn't know where he was going. He only
knew that it was away from that office. Away from that bitch, Dr. Thurman. And away from everyone and everything that were
just there as a lie.
It has been nearly ten years since he had found himself away from the chaos in his sleepy hometown in Virginia. He has
loved, lost, died, and lived. He came here as a boy and after nearly a decade has grown into a man. Though he still sees the
ominous being with a skeleton face and gnarled ears, he has a better understanding of it. Donnie's heart has loved one woman
fiercely during this time and it would be impossible to describe his past without her. Time, it seemed, had weathered away
on them and it has left Donnie exhausted. He will always have a place for her, but something inside him was telling him that
it was time to let it all go...
