A moment (however vague) into the mind of Franken Stein.


A Moment in Madness

There's an itch in his head

A crawling in his brain

An urge for something …something

Ah...it's that again…

That need

That feeling

'Click, click'

That hell with no end

But what makes hell again?

He can't remember with the scalpel in his hand

There's that twitch

Now it's in those shaky hands

'Click. Click'

That itch is still there

In his brain- so deep in his brain

Nails won't do, but a blade

But why is that a thing bad again?

'Click…click'

Why was it hell again?

He just needs to scratch

He just needs a taste of it

And with just the right subject…

'Click…'

That smiles' on his face

Maybe just once won't be so bad

A cut here…

…Perhaps a bit of red…

He's laughing that laugh now

Oh he knows she'll just do nicely

'Click,'

-It's time to dissect the specimen!-

'Click!'

And then the laughter stops

The knife drops

The trembling stays

But it's different now

'Click,'

Ah… he remembers hell again

That inch in his head

This twitch in his hands

This need to cut open and explore the glorious red

He remembers why it's bad

That itch -that thought- can't be released

'Click, click,'

Yes, it was coming back now

And that was good

That was safe

This torture was necessary

'Click, click'

Yes, he thinks to himself

Nails raking through his hair

This hell in his head

Was necessary

Hmm… Somehow it seemed

Like he's heard that phrase before…

'Click'
