Lots of Short Stories

Interview With an Asylum Patient

I never knew much about people until I took one apart just to see how it worked. It was amazing all the muscles and how they had little fibers. The spine was my favorite part to examine, the structure was very interesting all the nerves and blood vessels that run through it. There was a lot of blood these one vessels squirted blood really fast do I guess they pumped the most blood. I next looked at the bones they had muscles attached to them and when I pulled the muscles the bones moved with how the muscles did. I looked at the skull, I tried to break it open it was a lot harder than the other bones but I eventually broke through and pulled the skull apart to look at the brain. It was sitting in some kind of fluid and so the brain basically floated in the skull which I liked to move the skull around to watch the brain move. I stripped the body of its flesh to see what it looked like without it, it was cool I've never seen a person without skin. The next thing I did was opened up the chest area to look at the lungs and heart, I had to get rid of the blood in the way first though. Once I got rid of the blood that was impeding my view I broke open the ribs so I could see the heart. I pulled it out of the chest and sliced it in half to look inside, there were four areas for blood I wished I could see how it worked out of the body. I next looked at the lungs they weren't very interesting to look at but cutting them open was fun. The other organs didn't really interest me but I looked at them anyway. I cut open the stomach it had an awful smell so I got rid of that pretty quick then looked at the liver and spleen. Neither of those were interesting either but after that I just cleaned up the body and left it were I had done my research.
