"Aaannnddd... we're back to square one." I huff at the increasingly dire predicament we bundles of joy face. By that, being utterly surrounded by varying degrees of savage animals- wolves, tigers, a hippo, and a few giant rats.

He hopes to spare McMurphy ay further suffering that he may endure in the ward, because he can no longer defend himself and is subject to whatever Nurse Ratched may do to him.

The mix of body odor and gym socks tied up in the overwhelming mask of cheap perfume and cologne pervaded the air right as i stepped foot in those double doors.
