A Shot to Ease the Pain

So while wondering around the Northville Psychiatric Hospital, we came upon a desk that was half destroyed. When the curiosity came about to see what was inside the ajar door, we found this: a box of obviously used syringes. Imagine if you will, being completely in the dark, in an abandoned mental facility, holding a flashlight, and looking down to find this. That should just about set the mood for ‘A Shot to Ease the Pain’.

    Should have picked em up - they are great squirt guns - u will have to ask me how I know
  • As always, amazing work, Baron.

    OK,
    Just a little pin prick.
    There'll be no more, "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
    But you may feel a little sick.

    Can you stand up?
    I do believe it's working, good...
    That'll keep you going for the show.
    Come on, it's time to go...

    There is no pain, you are receding.
    A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
    You are only coming through in waves.
    Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying.

    When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye...
    I turned to look, but it was gone.
    I cannot put my finger on it now.
    The child has grown, the dream is gone.

    I have become comfortably numb.
