Fan

WOW That fan is old in deed! OSHA would have a hay day if they came across one of these old fans in the work place and I would bet Child services would scream if one of these fans was in the house hold. todays fans are so caged in to prevent people from puting there fingers in them I can only wonder what the hospital staff was thinking when they put this in the hospital?

Ceiling Light

The Power plant is no longer runing and the lights in the buildings no longer work. What ever newer EXIT signs that have been instaled have built in solar pannels on them.

Devastation

Laughing faces, look! The buildings through the center and right windows have some personality. The center is the Cheshire Cat, and the scene from the righthand window is a laughing building. Do they know something?

What's most unnerving is the fact that this so-called "school" needed a morgue. Excuse me, but was the policy 'abuse 'em til you lose 'em'?

Chairs

Great Shot! There's no doubt these chairs enjoy each other's company.

Exit

Oh My! The scratches or desperate clawing on the door, just at the right height of a small child. "Let me out of this nightmare!"

I would like to believe it's a spectre of a former patient who is most grateful to Motts for documenting this place of horror as testimony of the truth.

Parting Message

bk

Yes a disturbed mind. Who wouldn't be disturbed by being locked up in a hell hole. I believe this note smacks of suicide. Pushed beyond the cry for help.

Waist Shaper

My aunt had one. It was called a "reducing machine". Think it only reduced her hard earned cash.

Both my grandmothers were always adamant :
Never go to a hospital, that's where people go to die. Maybe they were right, hmmmm.

Yes, great shot indeed!
Beautiful light (Hope?) captured.
The tree seems as though it's attempting to claw it's way in. Savior or Menace?
