" Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses, And all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!"
- Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes
At the age of 16, Blain was diagnosed to have lung cancer, now he was on the hospital bed waiting for his death. He doesn't need any help, he doesn't care anymore. His family was dead, his friends doesn't seem to care, and 'God' must truly hate him. He stared out the hospital window, looking longingly at the cresent moon. He tried to grab it, but was in vain. He wanted so bad to reach it but he only fell of the hospital bed. He shouted, feeling the pain shot through his arm, he then looked at it, seeing his forearm in the most unlikely postion he'll ever see it. He just stared at his right arm for a couple of minutes before registering that he had badly broken it. He then tried to fix it, he grabbed hold of his right wrist, and twisted it, trying to straighten the broken forearm, but only made the pain worsen. He screamed, and felt his right arm go numb, he smiled. He went back up to his hospital bed and fell asleep, with a crazed smile on his face.
As he woke up, he saw four white walls, white curtains, and the nauseating smell of amonia used to clean the hospital. A nurse came in, she had blond hair, tied up in a neat bun, with a little make up on, she smiled at him, then checked on his IV and then looked at his right arm in complete shock, it was disformed, and completely swollen. She quickly rushed out and a couple of minutes later, more nurses came and placed a cast on it. He just stared with apatheric eyes. After the nurses left, he suddenly spoke, " And all the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't put humpty together again..." he stared at his casted right arm with crazed amusment. He then stared at the wooden nightstand. With a crazed smile, he screamed..."Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall!" he sat up completely, facing the wooden nightstand. "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall!" he banged his casted arm on the nightstand breaking the cast, ignoring the pain he was now feeling on his right arm. "And all the kings horses, and all the kings men!" he continued banging it, until it drew blood. The nurses came rushing in and holding him down. He stopped. He didn't move a muscle. The nurses took the oportunity to lay him in bed and drug him to make him relaxed. Before he closed his eyes... he muttered "Couldn't put Humpty together again", and fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
The next day, he was back on being the normal Blain Manson... but later that night he snuck out of his room and went to the hospitals rooftop, where he screamed "Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, and all the.." he heard footsteps behind him. It was one of the nurses, but he just walked at the edge of the rooftop, and looked down, continuing, "And all the kings horses and All the kings men", he jumped. "couldn't put Blain together again.." He fell and broke into many pieces. The nurse who was on the rooftop screamed.
An hour after the incident, the doctor who diagnosed Blain with lung cancer realized he made a mistake and got Blain's paper work mixed up with his other patients. Blain only had a benign tumor on his lungs, which could be easily taken out with surgery, while the other patient who was diagnosed to have lung cancer, died while smoking. Blain Manson became crazy for a mistake made by another. Blain Manson...
