One Flew Over the Yahoos Nest (apologies to Ken Kesey)
-------------------------------------
Alec the Dalek couldn’t sleep. For the umpteenth time, the orderlies had taken Buk away from him and his fellow inmates, following a particularly subversive act: the staging of the “Buk Show” during group therapy, which tickled many but clearly did not sit well with Nurse Rabbi. Cursing, kicking, and hurling Vienna sausages, Buk had been dragged off, and now it was midnight.
The Dalek bolted with the sound of doors opening from down the hall. Alec hastily jumped back into his bed, tucking his stuffed pickle under his plunger arm, and pretended to sleep. Moments later, the orderlies walked into the room, escorting a very blank-faced and catatonic Buk to his mattress.
After the orderlies left, Alec came to Buk’s bed, eager to catch up with his friend. But Buk only lay back against the pillow, motionless.
