Alone In Their Company.

Nobody likes to feel alone.

So when Rob sat there, with a smile on his face. A smile broken by scars on his bottom lip, Seemingly bemused by everything, In a room, seven feet by seven feet, with padded walls.
Nobody knew why he was So elated on his own in that small space all the time. None of the doctors, nurses or staff knew why, to everyone's confusion, only Rob knew.
Six years have passed since hos first smile began with silence, hailing his arrival into this derelict house of the damned.
No one ever knew why he was so happy, only that he only smiled when alone at night.
During the day, his smile is broken by the dreadful routine of medication deliveries.
Once the lights go out in his room, leaving the bated glow of the twilight, he is heard walking around.
He is heard muttering from the hall through the night, but nothing intelligible, just above whispering.
His room, in the morning is spotless, as if he never left his bed once, as if he worked his hands cleaning somnambulant all night. The inqueries to why Rob is here arise each year, to which there is no elucidation.
Rob just sits there, smiling that menacingly sincere smile, that grows larger as the hours close in on night.
Once it does, and darkness smothers his room, Rob says merely a single thing.
"Hello everybody"

Nobody likes to feel alone.

I think you a have a really good plot here, this Rob guy comes across, straight away, as an interesting character. He's not boring, AT ALL, he's someone a reader wants more from. There's some excellent sentences as well here but it's too brief. I finished it unsatisfied; wanting more. I know this is meant to be a short piece but I feel like you've condensed it too much. Really loved how it ended with the first line of the piece, I don't know, I just love when stories or poems have that. All in all, I feel like this piece has great potential but it needs to be lengthened a bit to get to that excellence that's lurking behind your words... a few typos to check out as well. :3

Thanks, yeah i know i need to expand on it, i,m in the middle of writing up a rough draft in my notes and should have a it full finished in short while. Hopefully it will be more to your liking then. Thank you for a heavy review filled with advice.

I really, really liked this one. :) It's quite imaginative, and the imagery and feelings that radiate from your words are excellent. (: I feel like if you expanded on it a little more you could adapt it into a short film... I would watch it. ;)
The only criticism I have is spelling/grammar, and even then, it's not a super huge deal.

Great job!!!

100/100!
