Ha, ha. Nice original spin on this tale.

Wow... sinister. And realistic (that is, of drug experimentation on the helpless) as you take us into her nightmarish visions. A great job @tristancarax.
Naughty nurses ... f***in' people up.
I confess I tried to make sense of the story of the old woman almost towards the end...
I consider it a beautiful example of black humor with a realistic background!
This is what I had in mind - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neck_(water_spirit)
My original idea was play more with the nøkk. That would have been long. The drug idea popped in and then I found drugs that would make someone hallucinate and put them to sleep.
I also have to admit that I strived till the end in giving a pseudo-sense to Mrs Ellerton's musings. I loved the feeling of gradually perceiving her detachment from reality during the reading. Very surreal but, at the same time, it's an authentic and well crafed scene!
Even if you may not agree with me: I am glad that so much concentrated evil is little to be found, and that people are then still somewhat afraid to do other ills in such a way. The ensemble sounded a bit like an LSD trip. With the white horse and all the fog you created a mood. Well done.
I'd say we're largely ignorant of the devastating effects these types of drugs have had on the population. She might not be evil at all but simple doing what she was told was okay by her profession.
Yikes! That awful drug cocktail is nasty! Poor Mrs. Ellerton and the other patients... Now I want a continuation where someone comes in and shuts this bullshit down!
Biggest understatement of the week! (You've got this squirrel going "RAAWWRR!" now.)
Ha! ya, ... to bad this is the normal. I mean, without the nurse at the beside, there are still pills in the homes of people who take them like candy.
