Introduction
Thank you for buying my eighth book and third and last in the Bad Memories series. This book gives the backstory to the characters in book one and what led up to the events in that book. This book like all the books in the series are taken from true events that happened but set in fiction.
The medical procedures described in this book and in the series were actually done on people with mental illness, both real or alleged diagnosed up till the 1980s in the United States. The part of the story where the patients had all their teeth pulled for biting staff happened at Letchworth Village.
I hope you will like this book even though it is published out of context with the others, all insanity and murder must have a beginning.

Dedication
I dedicate this book to the professors in both Gulf Coast State College and Florida State University who taught me to improve my writing skills. Having to write essays, research papers and reports helps a writer to write better.
I also want to thank the following books Writing the Breakout Novel
both book and Workbook by Donald Maass and Write Your Novel from the Middle
by James Scott Bell I consider them a must-read for all new authors.
I also want to thank my goddesses Hecate, Bast, Diana, ISIS who help and inspire me.

Doctor John Miller a doctor of medicine and psychiatrist was hired June 1940. He drove up to the administration building he noticed birds, not just any birds, but crows known as birds of death. He had doubts about this new job but parked his car got his suitcases and went in. After he entered the spacious hall with gleaming white marble in the morning sun and Victorian style wood he liked what he saw. He approached the nurse's station and said, I am Doctor John Miller. The new doctor here and I am supposed to report to Doctor Stephen Jacobs.
