Asylum of Darkness Page #2

---

any of the patients.

Thank you.

- I guess Van

gogh's power over it is real.

I see so much stuff that can't

be,

that I guess I assume everything

i see is just a delusion.

Do I have some X-ray type vision

like his?

I pestered Van gogh about all of

this

for weeks after that day.

- No, I, I don't have the

power over life or death.

My paintings show things

as they really are

or will be.

- So if you paint the doctor

dead,

I mean, if you're able to paint

it,

then it's, it's meant to be,

right?

- So you really want me

to help you escape, huh?

- Goddamn right I do.

I tell ya, when I look at him,

I see a dead man.

- Then paint the picture.

I quit the day that bird died.

I don't want my paintings

to be blood on my hands.

I'm through with that!

- Look, I can't, you know that.

Look, they say that

you're leavin' tomorrow.

They say you're cured.

- What do they know?

- Nothin',

but what does that matter if

you're free?

- Exactly!

- Maybe we were both crazy that

day.

Maybe nothing we saw was real.

Look, do it as a farewell

present for me.

- One last crazy thing

for old time's sake, huh?

- And when nothing happens,

then I'll know and accept

that I have to stay here.

My man Van gogh, thank

you.

It's beautiful.

Now in an hour, I have

the session with the doc.

That's when I want you to finish

it.

- What I saw was too horrible.

- Nurse.

Somebody come quick!

I'm sorry.

You should've stopped.

- What I saw,

I saw more clearly than ever

before,

and the more clearly I saw it,

I felt my mind, not

goin', but bein' taken.

- I'm sorry, I shoulda known no

good

would come of this, we're

insane.

- Yes, we are.

And that makes us vulnerable.

We're weak, so we can be taken.

I thought if, if I couldn't see

them,

they couldn't see me, and I'd be

safe.

Or, or maybe they wouldn't

want a blind man's life.

- I couldn't take much time to

mourn

my friend's final slip

into total insanity.

No!

His fate is what's waiting for

me

if I stay here to be cured.

So that's what you really look

like.

- What do you

think you're doing, Dwight?

- I don't know.

Somethin' crazy I guess you'd

say.

- No.

Lookin' for my keys in

that desk isn't crazy.

Luckily for both of us,

I was just coming back

here to put them away.

You saw what an unbalanced

mind did to your friend.

If you do this,

whatever it is you're about to

do,

you'll take that same step

into the bottomless deep end.

- More water analogies?

Well, this water wants out of

the glass.

You think you know

everything about us here?

Did you ever think that being

insane

allows us to see the

true reality around us?

That's what Van gogh believed.
