In one of the rooms, a once-respected professor, Dr. Goode, now deemed clinically insane, clutches a weathered tome titled “Tales Of Our Time”
Despite that, the professor holds it delicately, treating it as if it’s a precious artifact from a different era..
The book’s prologue hints that the story is an adaptation from an obscure source, which he discovers upon opening to its first page. He had seen it before, but gets excited as if it was the first time he saw it.

She wastes no time in establishing her authority, her voice conveying both firmness and concern.. “What did we say? Hmm?”
The professor looks up from the book to the woman, his reply containing a hint of defiance
“They are but stories,” he retorts, his words challenging the boundaries between reality and imagination that seem to blur within the asylum’s walls.
