It's One a.m. in the psych ward. Let's just call it 4 North. On the table that I'm writing at is a plant, it looks to be a member of the cactus family. Three nurses sit behind a glass booth and watch me with curiosity. One of them looks to be a member of the cactus family"or is it cacti? Either way, I don't want her close to me. Just now, one of the cacti-looking nurses says, "What are you writing? " I say, "My escape plan," without looking up. She says, "Very interesting." That's one thing I've noticed in the psych ward, everything is very interesting. Just once, I wish they would say, "That is the most boring load of s**t I've ever heard." Then, maybe I'd be less inclined to think they resemble members of the plant life.
a case of the inmates guarding the asylum perhaps. you can't tell the players without a scorecard. pretty good stuff complete with prickly nurses (just don't forget to water them once in a great while). i'm sure it is interesting there but the problem is that the one's who should be there usually aren't - they're out and about driving everyone else nuts. very good piece of writing all around.

Thanks, Pete. The house is great fodder for writing, just ask, Ken Keesey. Lol
I laughed! There are some thoughts a person has that says more than actual words - you had and owned yours! Maybe such a 'hotel' has similarities with life outside the walls?
