Breviário de leituras: The big over easy
«Jack peered out cautiously, which seemed daft, considering the door was iron-banded oak. After a few moments he caught sight of six burly nurses surronding a tall figure who was wrapped in a straitjacket and bite mask. Each of the six nurses held the patient by means of a long pole that was connected to a collar around his neck. As they drew closer Jack could see the dark brown cakey texture of the prisoner's skin and with a shiver he knew exactly who it was. He had hoped never to see him again, but was thankful at least that St Cerebellum's was taking no chances. As they walked past, the patient looked at Jack with his glacé-cherry eyes and his thin liquorice lips curled up into a cruel smile of recognition. He winked at Jack, and then they were gone.
Jack stepped away from the window, his palms damp with perspiration. Images of the night he and Wilmot Snaarb had tackled the Gingerbreadman filled his head. He could still see Snaarb's look of pain and terror as the cakey psychopath playfully pulled his arms out of their sockets.»
