STEVE MORRIS: Dear Dr. Cuellar,

STEVE MORRIS: Thank you for taking my call this morning. As we discussed, I will send you the three patients next week, probably on Tuesday. The three patients are Ellis Harrison, Maximus Clementine, and Lily (unknown last name). Mr. Harrison is also known as The Raven Man because he suffers from hallucinations. He believes he can see a raven sitting above the door. We hope that with a change of location, Mr. Harrison will no longer have hallucinations. Mr. Clementine was the boyfriend of the late Annabel Lee. He wishes to bring her body with him. Would this be acceptable to your hospital? The body has begun to smell, but he didn't mind the smell. He wanted her back and that's all he cared about. Finally, we have Lily, our most dangerous patient. She murdered her father by stabbing him and cutting off parts of his body limb from limb. She hid the pieces in the floorboards until the smell got so bad that the guests noticed and called the police. Do not let her near sharp objects or any objects of any sort. Keep her locked away out of contact with anyone until further notice. Sincerely, Dr. Edgar Allan Poe
