Rita Herron's Dying to Tell Reminiscent of Sybil and Snake Pit!

Sybil (1976 film) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The chimes were ringing. Ting. Ting. Ting.
Then the clock. Ticktock. Ticktock. Ticktock.
He was there.
Whispering in her ear.
Time to go, Amelia. Close your eyes and it won't hurt.
But she was crying again...Bessie was scared...
He had lied.
It did hurt. She could hear the others scream. The
cries resounded through the hollow walls.
The terrified pleas to let them go. To stop the pain.
Then Bessie was gone, and she was drowning, the
darkness swallowing her into its abyss.
"No more Amelia," he murmured. "No more weak
girl."
No! He couldn't kill Amelia.
She had to tell Sadie. Sadie would come, she'd help
her. Only the black curtain fell over her again.
Dark. It was so dark.
The pain was back. He was choking her...
She tried to scream, but there was no sound.
Where was Sadie?
Sadie is gone.
She can't help you now, he murmured.
"I'll tell," she cried.
His voice rumbled in her ear, sinnister and low
this time.
No, you won't.
Tell and you die..."
