Simon: Hi Marty.
Marty: You're late.
Simon: Sorry. So how are you feeling?
Marty: Like shit.
Simon: Are you going to eat today?
Marty: Nope.
Simon: Have you tried those exercises?
Marty: All I can do is move my head. No movement anywhere else. See?
Simon: It's very rare to suddenly become paralysed for no reason. You haven't been involved in a serious accident. Emm... Would you tell me again what happened?
Marty: I was on a park bench reading, then I became aware of someone watching me.
Simon: And the description you gave, run that by me again.
Marty: Oh Lord... his eyes were red like blood. His skin was green like spinach. He wore a blue hat with a yellow feather in it. His teeth were enormous. He looked like the devil, only in drag.
Simon: And since this sighting, you have remained paralysed?
Marty: Yeah.
Simon: Emm...
Marty: I think he wants you.
Simon: Who?
Marty: The fiend.
Simon: So he talks to you?
Marty: Yeah. Sometimes.
Simon: That's interesting.
Marty: Is it?
Simon: And what does he say?
Marty: It's a secret.
Simon: Has he told you not to tell anyone?
Marty: Nope.
Simon: No.
Marty: He's here.
Simon: Where Marty. Over there. What, in the wardrobe?
Marty: Don't.
Simon: Don't open it. Why not Marty? Theres nothing in here.
Marty: Don't.
Simon: Arrghh!
Marty: No. Not again.
Simon: Help me. Arrghh!
Marty: I can't. I can't. I told you. I can't. No, not his arm. No, no, not his head. No stop! Please don't eat his head...
Five minutes later.
Marty: Hello nurse.
Nurse: Mar... Marty... What... Ha... have... you... done?
Marty: It wasn't me. It was him. I'm paralysed you stupid bitch. It's the fiend. He... he's laughing at me, make him stop.
Nurse: Emergency... I need assistance here. Anyone hear me.
Marty: I didn't kill him. I didn't do this.
Nurse: What the...
Marty: Hey nursey, I think he wants you.
