Verona: Hospital for the Insane
Her name, by chance, was Juliet.
"O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?" she would call into the hallway, her voice shattering like ruptured glass.
And Romeo would come, painkillers in hand, night after night, bringing solace for her distress.
In those moments, while he made sure she swallowed, they were together, as one.
And then came the time when she didn't call, so Romeo took her pills himself, quelling the storm within his own mind.
When Juliet finally wakened, she called. But Romeo never came.
With a bedpost, carved like a knife, Juliet broke her own heart.
