A Doctors Note sent to a Psychiatrist

AN: this is basically a take off of a lot of other peoples' work, with a twist. I hope you like it enough to review it, but it don't matter if you don't. Please don't flame me, I don't think I could handle the pressure!

Dear Sir or Madam

I am writing to you to tell you of a patient of mine, Laura McSimmons. She shows signs of a disease or obsession I have not met with before. They are as shown below:

  1. Her mother has to wake her up in the morning with a bell and a shout of 'UP'.
  2. She continually finds swords and gets up to practice in the mornings, generally at 5am. (her mother is against this as she continually gets sword marks on her clothing.)
  3. She pretends to be someone she named 'Alanna the Lioness' and fights the 'Immortals' (this is what she calls beasts.)
  4. She pretends to have a 'Healing Gift'. (may I add that she tried it on me and I had a headache for days afterwards.)
  5. For her 13th birthday, she requested a shield and chain armour and wouldn't have anything else.
  6. She is trying to legally change her name to 'Daine' in order to become a vet and talk to her pets.
  7. She sleeps outside in a 'bedroll'. (she claims to do this in order to speak to 'The Great Mother Goddess')
  8. Her parents are wondering why she has all kinds of bandages and boys breeches in her room. (I know of this as I had a chat with her parents)
  9. She has a habit of calling her knife 'Lightning' and continually talks to it at mealtimes.
  10. She is seriously thinking of riding off into the sunset on a pony and going to a court to become a 'Knight'.
  11. Her sentences seem to begin with 'yeh' or 'yeh'll' and she is starting to drop the ends off her words, 'darlin' for instance.
  12. Her friends are ignoring her because she says all kinds of things about 'Tortall' and 'Knighthood' etc.
  13. She is thinking of leaving home to become what she calls a 'Queen's Rider'.

I am sincerely concerned for her well being.

Yours Sincerely,

Margaret Brown

Doctor

AN: so there you have. I'm hoping to write a conclusion to the matter, but in the mean time, you'll just have to do with this.
