Patrick

In a stark, white‑walled clinic tucked into the heart of Melbourne, a quiet experiment in modern medicine becomes a crucible for the uncanny. The Roget Clinic prides itself on clinical precision, yet beneath its polished surface hums a persistent sense of unease, as if the very air is waiting for something to break through the routine. Shadows linger in corridors where the ordinary collides with the inexplicable, creating a mood that feels both sterile and subtly charged with latent menace.

The story centers on Patrick, a young man whose body has been sustained in a coma for years, and Kathy Jacquard, the nurse assigned to his care after an uneasy interview. Matron Cassidy runs the ward with a calm authority that steadies the staff, while Dr. Roget, the clinic’s enigmatic proprietor, offers philosophical musings about the boundary between life and death. Occasional whispers from Captain Fraser, another patient, hint at odd nocturnal disturbances that deepen the atmosphere of mystery. Together, these characters navigate a delicate balance between professional duty and the growing sense that something beyond ordinary science is at play.

Within this tightly controlled environment, the possibility that Patrick can influence the world around him through unseen forces creates a palpable tension. The clinic’s routine procedures become a backdrop for subtle, unnerving occurrences that suggest a mind far more active than his silent body. As Kathy strives to understand her patient’s strange presence, the interplay of curiosity, authority, and hidden power pulls everyone into a quiet, psychological suspense that lingers long after the lights dim.
