The saga of the little lamb, the little llama, the rampaging rabbit, the stockpiling squirrel and the naked little blonde jaybird

Patient WN73 was staring out of the fence covered windows from across the great room, as it was known and was completely lost in thought.

 

It was the third Thursday of the month, and this Thursday was the day he was allowed to play his own records. His selections were always heavy, always loud and filled with proud lyrics much like the fight songs of long ago. Even now consumed in thought, the music took on a muffled sound as if one was hearing the songs from under water.

 

Dr. Hanwell gently interrupted his patient, along with his wandering thoughts, and questioned, “Shall we conclude our session now?”.

 

WN73 agreed and said, “Yes, of course, please remind me, where were we?”.

 

“You were telling me about your five dearest friends, Little Lamb, Little Llama, Rampaging Rabbit, Stockpiling Squirell and Naked Little Blonde Jaybird, isn’t that correct?”, Dr. Hanwell said.

 

“Ah yes, better friends one could not ask for” WN73 replied.

 

“If that is so”, Dr. Hanwell continued, “why do you think you are unable to recall any of their proper names?”.

 

“Isn’t it possible sir, that these characters are figments of your imagination and they rear themselves at times of most convenience to you?”

 

WN73 returned his gaze back to the fence covered windows where the rain was hitting the windows much harder now in near unison with the heavy music filling the great room.

 

Dr. Hanwell suggested that they leave the question until their next session and perhaps WN73 should return to his room for some rest, to which WN73 agreed.

 

On his way back to his room he couldn’t help but notice how drab the walls were painted. “They aren’t even a colour”, he thought to himself. A putty or paste color of nothingness. This place is depressing enough, why would they choose such a colour, or non-colour as it were?

 

His room was at the end of the corridor. Hung on the wall next to each door he passed on the way to his room was a brightly coloured photograph to break up the monotony of bland.

 

He’d memorized these photos over time as they brought him great comfort over and over and over again.

 

Room one had a photo of a pasture with sheep gathered around a lamb in a stance of protection. The lamb had such a sweet and trusting face. You could see the comfort she possessed being in the care of the sheep.

 

Room two had a photo of a llama laying down on green grass with the most content looks on its face. Eyes half closed as the warm breeze joined in with the sun of the midday.

 

Room three had a photo with a scene of rabbits jumping and playing beside a stream next to a thicket. You couldn’t help but smile at the innocent fun they were having.

 

Room four’s photo depicted an autumn day with the biggest squirrels you’d ever scene collecting their fall harvest. You could feel the cool of the day and hear the rustling of the leaves just by looking at the picture.

 

Room five’s photo was the photo of Blue Jay in a tree on a winters day. The blueness of its feathers especially beautiful against the grey of the day and the nakedness of the tree in which it was perched.

 

WN73 laid down and closed his eyes and said, “imaginary, indeed”.

Can I have Stockpiling Squirrel's telephone number?

Only with a court order from the Owl Overlord, Judge Hootie.

Didn't he used to work at the law firm Snowy, Spotted and Greathorned?

Not Outrageous, Egregious & Presposterous - Snowy, Spotted and Greathorned. They used to specialize in bankruptcies.
