We're All Insane

"So,Mr.J how did you come to call yourself the 'Joker'?"I asked we still had 20 minutes left of our session and he was answering all of the questions I had asked him,in return for him asking me questions.

"Well I don't actually call myself the
'Joker' people started calling me the joker and I just stuck with it really."

He pulled on his straight jacket as if it was too tight.

"I shall ask to have the straight jacket removed for tomorrow's session"I smiled.To which he smiled at me,which relaxed him a bit.

"So my question"he grind,like a child on Christmas.

"What's the worst thing you've ever done?"he smiled again almost eager for an answer.

I thought for a second,when I was a child I drowned my aunties fish-by accident-I was 5.I hit my abusive,lying dad over the head with a baseball bat,I tell you the sight was not pretty when he finished beating me after.

Yeah,that probably was the worst thing I've ever done,at that time I was old enough to know what to do I was 13.

"I hit my dad over the head with a base ball bat"I croaked.

I looked down at my notes doodling some ridiculous swirly pattern,waiting for a reaction.

For some reason,for at least a minute or so he didn't reply,he wasn't expecting that obviously.

"Well,Harley I was not expecting that I was expecting you to have drowned a fish or killed a cat by accidentally running it over"he laughed.

I laughed with him."Actually I did drown a fish,and I did run over a cat but it didn't kill it,the poor thing had to have his two back legs amputated though".

He laughed even harder when I told his the little anecdote of my younger years.

And again I laughed with him,his laugh was utterly music to my ears it was beautiful and to think some people think his laugh is evil.

Harleen snap out of it.He is in this asylum for a reason.

My conscience rang in my ear.

3 knocks on the door told us that the session was over.

I was kind of sad to have to go but then remembered we would have another session tomorrow as well.

"See you tomorrow Mr.J".

"Till tomorrow Harley"he laughed again.

"Boy's"I spoke to the guards walking away heading back to my office.

I had a session with Ivy in an hour,Ivy is very easy to get along with.

Once you get past the 'Do you respect me and my plants' part of her.
I wrote down some more notes on Mr.J and then took them down to Dr.Arkham's office.

As I was about to knock on his door I heard his loud footsteps coming down the hallway.

"Ah,Harleen got more notes on your patient?"he spoke as he saw me for some reason emphasising the your.
