i present to you: frightened, sad, horrified, (occasionally amused) asylum inmates, possibly from the late 1800's to the early 1900's, or perhaps later, their secrets and thoughts, captured and recorded as well as i can. hearing through time to the mentally and emotionally lost, damaged, and abused is amazingly wearying. in their honor, i humbly hope i transcribe them well. poor things.
