Issue 20 Episode 20

The next day back at the hospital, Ichabode is waking up. He’s in pain and his face is still bandaged from the mysterious burns. Need less to say, he’s not in the greatest of moods. As his eyes slowly adjust and focus to the sunlight beaming through the cracks of his window blinds, his ears perk up as he can hear the annoying tapping of heels striking porcelain tile down the hallway. Tap tap tap, tappity-tap tap, as the sound gets closer his nerves are triggered. The closer and louder it gets, his tension mounts and his fists start to clench. The door to his room then swings open, and Nurse Siouxee with a smile stretched from one ear to the other, boastfully starts tap dancing and singing. “Good morning, good morning to you, good morning to Mr. Ichabode, hahaha! The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the birds are chirping, and I’m taking care of you, yes you, ha!!!” She then dances a couple of line dance moves with her arms swaying, and her hands making circular patterns while attempting to sing, “The Candy Man” by Sammy Davis Jr. As she goes on and on, Ichabode just shakes his head in pain until he finally explodes with an unrelenting and anguished wail. “OH MY GOD, WILL YOU JUST DUCKING SHUT THE DUCK UP! YOU’RE A MENACE TO MY EARS, YOU’RE LIKE A DUCK, QUACK-QUACKETY-QUACK, QUACKING ALL T HE TIME, ON A FARM, QUACKING OVER HERE AND QUACKING OVER THERE!!! YOU’RE DRIVING ME CRAZY, AHHHHH! GET ME OUTTA HERE, GET ME AWAY FROM THIS LUNATIC! Nurse Siouxee then stops singing and dancing, creepily swoops down to his head and calmly whispers into his ear. “Ooops, wrong thing to say.” She quickly holds up her wireless security fob and activates it. Then, all of a sudden, her facial structure changes and her body contorts as if she’s transformed into someone else. Nurse Siouxee pretentiosly yells out to anyone that could possibly hear her, “SSSecurity, oh my gawwwwd, sesses – secu -sesesecurity! Code white! Code white! Please help me! Ohhh the horror!!” Only seconds pass as a team of security personnel come to restrain Ichabode. He yells out that she’s driving him crazy on purpose, and the last thing he sees is Nurse Siouxee’s face as she administers a sedative to him and mouths the words “Lights out, sweet dreams.”
