ASYLUM CHALLENGE - CHAPTER 1 - DR. HUMBERT HUNTSMAN
Dr. Humbert Huntsman looked at the file on his desk. The patient's name was Snow White. He knew the name well and had spent many sleepless nights wondering what to do. You see, Dr. Huntsman knew that Snow White's tale of an Evil Queen trying to kill her was true. But the thing was, it was Dr. Huntsman himself who was supposed to have done the deed. He shook his head and ran his hand through his hair thinking back to how it had all happened.
He had been employed by the Evil Queen, or rather blackmailed by her, and had been instructed to take Snow White into the forest to kill her. You see, Dr. Huntsman had used some questionable methods for some anti-aging experiments he had conducted, and somehow the Evil Queen had found out. She had uncovered some files that would threaten his standing in the community, jeopardize his credibility, revoke his doctor's license, and worse, put him in jail. And so, he had entered a bargain with the Evil Queen. She would continue to fund his anti-aging experiments and never mention his secret to anyone, but in exchange, she had asked for one favor...to kill a sim named Snow White.
He wasn't quite sure what her motive was, but the Evil Queen seemed to ramble on about Snow White being "the fairest in the land", and she couldn't have that happen. He didn't quite understand, but he had agreed. Yes, he had shamefully agreed to save his own reputation. The Evil Queen knew that Dr. Huntsman had access to lethal injections, and she told him that he should take Snow White into the forest and do the deed there, where no one would see.
When the day came to carry out the plan, the Evil Queen had told Snow White that she had made an appointment for her with Dr. Huntsman for one of his "therapeutic talks" to help Snow White through some of the teen angst she was experiencing. From the description that the Evil Queen had given him, Dr. Huntsman pictured Snow White as a horrible, mean, and irresponsible sim. But when he met her, he found her to be innocent, kind, gentle, sweet, and cheerful. She had told him that her parents had died tragically and that she was under the care of the Queen. She told him that she felt like a servant in her own house and that no matter what she did, she could never seem to please the Queen.
Dr. Huntsman realized then that the Evil Queen had been jealous of Snow White, and the Evil Queen's vanity and evilness were the real reasons she wanted Snow White dead. As they walked further into the forest, Dr. Huntsman knew he couldn't kill Snow White. He told her that the Queen wanted her dead out of jealousy, and begged her forgiveness. He told her that she should flee into a deeper part of the forest and find shelter.
But in a twist of fate, she had ended up in his hospital under his care. He had found out too late to help her, and her case had already gone before the courts. The judge deemed Snow White "erratic" and ordered her to be sent to an asylum.
Dr. Huntsman sighed. He opened the file and wrote some notes.
"Patient is suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder which has caused her to become "erratic". She will not harm others and has a generous, trusting, and helpful nature. Given the recent budget cuts at the facility, my findings conclude that her therapy will consist of being in charge of the 7 other residents in the asylum. To cook and clean and care for them. In addition, if she completes 4 tasks (aspirations) to prove her sanity, it is my unwavering opinion that she can re-enter the Simworld again and lead a productive life."
He closed the file and gathered up 7 other files. He then called an orderly to bring the patient Snow White for transportation to the asylum. Dr. Huntsman thought for a moment about a fairy tale he had heard in his youth, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", mumbled Dr. Huntsman, "...how ironic..."
Dr. Humbert Huntsman is actually a Maxis-made sim named Scrubs De Reve.
Oh, this is exciting. It's like Snow White meets Eliza Graves. Is a prince supposed to come at some point? Will there be a plot twist involving apples?
The Snow White plot is so fun! I love the twist with Dr. Huntsman. Does the Queen know? Will she get involved at some point? What a great start! I can't wait to see what happens.
Thank you for reading. No, as in the fairy tale, the Queen doesn't know about Snow White as yet, but she is lurking around in the world, so you never know if they will meet up. I don't think it will be too pleasant.
