The Demented Doctor

I stumbled into the Demented Doctor in a overcast lane next to the mews.

His eyes held the light which signalled the calm before the storm.

The last time I had seen him, he was rocking back and forth on his bent knees, holding his head, as he made a noise somewhere between maniacal laughter and keening.  The syrup emitted from his ruptured pores and mixed with the battery acid leaking from olafactory organs.

I faked to the right before throwing myself behind the cast iron gates.

As I climbed the stunted excuse for a staircase, I could hear the banshees wailing.

Black wings hovered overhead and the bells began to chime.
