As he walked out of the room, I asked him what he thought.

“I think we need an exorcism.”

Very funny.

I was glad he went in first. This one does kind of scare me. Man, I’ve been doing this a long time to be this freaked out.

He said, “Do you want me to go fetch some holy water?”

Just what this place needs, another resident who thinks he’s a comedian.

“Umm, no. How ’bout I just get some vital signs and do an assessment,” I said.

He leaned toward me and asked, “Do you want me to go in with you? The crisis worker said the family’s into some satanic cult shit.”

I shook my head and walked in alone.
