A clinically depressed inmate awaits execution; a pompous shrink offers perfunctory absolution.
Damien, or inmate #1469, has been condemned to die on behalf of utilitarian principle. And while this reductive act of societal cleansing is serviceably humane, putting him to death while he is in possession of an unsound mind is not. And so, it is the duty of the ever erudite shrink to alleviate Damien of this burden - to put his mind at rest, before he can be laid so.—Anonymous
