Fairview Asylum, October 9, 2014
Patient: Hawkes, Ellen
Doctor: Heath, Benjamin
"Hello, Ms. Hawkes. How are you today?"
"I'm cold."
"The heat is on."
"It's freezing."
"Your jacket is in the chair, Ms. Hawkes"
"Would you like a flower?"
"The nurses tell me you've been having nightmares. Is this true?"
"I don't know."
"Nightmares are dreams that are of a disturbing nature, do you understand?" She gave him a look that said, 'I'm crazy, not stupid.'
"I only remember one, but I think the others are worse."
"Why do you think that?" The look again.
"Because I remember it." She replied, as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"What is it about?"
"What? You promised you'd bring me yellow roses, not purple."
