Today I saw a man on the side of the road picking glass out of the bottom of his foot and it reminded me that: Dizzy from Earlier will be glass walking in Carnival of Psychos, Reneé Sedliar will be making someone disappear, shadows will crawl across the overhead projector, B.

According to one eye witness, “He was in the middle of playing a slick tune when the mall cops showed up on their segways. Then he bared his teeth and jumped in the Bay.

Patient 51 is still considered dangerous and mentally unstable. Do not approach or attempt to apprehend.
