Hypocrite reader, do not seek to avert your eyes from this dreadful spectacle! Ask yourself only what has brought you here to gaze uponthis miserable scence and to find the suffering of your fellow men some measure of sensation and entertainment. Do you seek , prehaps some taste of hell so that you will know it well when the time comes? Then look no further, for there are places on earth where the infernal realms seem to streach out their diseased hands to touch and corrupt the clean earth. Even to stand in the tainted shadow of this promethian edifice is to feel the horror of all contained within its reeking walls. This is our resting place, before the grave, of all those unfortunates whom socioty has deemed outcast and insane. No one who enters here ever leaves alive, and the screams of the damned still resound down theselabyrinthine corrodors and gloomy stair wells Three hundred years of teas have soured the very stones of this house. Drink Deep, gentle reader, you have come too far to turn back now. |
