Beware of your Godzilla addiction....
your mind could
crumble underneath the pressure....
your sanity could
go right down the tubes....
they can lock you away in a
mental institution....
or not! ;-)
Sit back and ENJOY!
The gray haired man in the
white lab coat and glasses was a scholarly looking
fellow, having been an esteemed
psychotherapist for some twenty five years.
His pager had gone off in
the middle of a meeting, so he had to wrestle his papers
into obedience and flee
into the cool evening air. It signified a brand new patient
in the maximum security
ward of the Oasis Park Mental Institution in Olathe, Kansas.
Dr. Charles McDonnell was
wondering what brand new mode of freak might be
presented to him this time
around. Oh well, it was only more money in his pocket, so he
figured.
As he swiped his id card
through the magnetic lock, it opened into the ward.
| A blond nurse beckoned to
him. "Dr. McDonnell! So glad to see you. Follow me."
She opened the door into
a well-padded, sound-proofed room where a young woman with long brown tangled
hair lay strapped to a gurney. Her eyes were glazed and unseeing
"Well well, who's this?" he asked. |
 |
| The nurse replied, "Oh this
is our newest patient.... Good...now?" she said, looking in the
patient's records. "It seems that she is suffering from long-term...what would we call this? Gigantophilia induced by stress," she intoned. "Gigantophilia? What the hell is that?" he inquired, somewhat startled. "Well... it's hard to explain.
In layman's terms, she is terribly obsessed with

"Hmm...." the good doctor mused. "Could you explain in more detail?"
"Yes" was the reply. "She
was brought to us by the Olathe Police Department. Apparently, she
was in the County Courthouse
applying to have her children's names legally changed to....
'Gigan, Minya, and Ghidora?!'"
she said with disbelief evident in her voice. "When the judge denied
her request, she went into
a rage. It took 8 men to overpower her!" the nurse exclaimed.
"And?" the doctor wanted more details.
"The police brought her to
her house, where the children were left in her spouse's custody.
They decided to have a look
around... and upon entrance to her bedroom, they found....
all sorts of Godzilla paraphernilia....
they noted all the posters on the walls, and they found an
entire plastic dresser filled
with nothing but Godzilla movies and things.... and then the police
searched the contents of
her hard drive...."
"Well? Go on..." he said.
"It was found that she had built a 5 and a half megabyte web page to the beast!" the nurse continued.
"Hm.... sounds like a serious
problem indeed." he said. "Well listen, give me a moment alone with her.
I want to see if she can
wake up enough to answer a few of my questions.." and with that, the nurse
left.
The young woman's eyelids
blinked and then fluttered open. She looked at the psychologist and began
to scream in a frighteningly
loud voice... "This is Tokyo, a city of over six million people....."
Yes. It seemed as though
Oasis Park would be Constance Goodnow's home away from home, for a
loooooooooong time to come.
