|  | | | I was removed from my home on a warm summer's day.
The last memory of home that I have is my mother yelling at me once again.
I'm sorry, I cannot control what happens to me.
Why are they bringing me here?
As they escort me through the doors, I hear my parents crying.
What have I done to make them so sad?
I struggle to formulate the words to ask them, but all that escapes is a moan.
As they walk me through these endless halls I am confused.
There are people talking to themselves. A nurse is helping to feed a grown woman.
A man convulses in his bed. I am confused, frightened and am not happy here.
In another room I see a man staring at the wall. Is he looking at a spider? Maybe he will let me see it if I ask him.
How many tortured souls have passed through these doors before me?
They show me to my new room. This isn't my home, my home has a radio in the corner and a photograph of my dog on the wall. At night I fall asleep listening to classical music. When I dream, I dream of being free from my mind. I'm able to speak and to be understood. People don't look at me strangely. Children don't point at me and laugh.
I eat in a room full of strangers. I look around searching for my mother and father but they are not to be found. I attempt to ask a passing nurse for assistance but once again my mind betrays me and I'm unable to speak.
I long to see my own bedroom once more. I do not belong here, this is not the place for me. Awaking from a daytime dream in which I'm playing with my dog by the river's edge, I leave my room. The open door beckons to me, follow me and I will lead you home. As I begin to make my way through the woods, I am caught and escorted back to my room.
Today I will not be free from these invisible chains that hold me down.
Tomorrow is another day.
I think I will go back to sleep where I will dream of playing with my dog and watching the horses trot by.
[ With true respect to all of those who were once housed in the Hospital for Epileptics/Oxford Regional Health Center (Woodstock). Obviously the modern day home outside of the door also detracts from the story. ]

| | | | It looks like this place is being dismantled with the pallet of bricks there. They are doing that a lot here with all the old canon mills.

| | | | Those pallets of bricks have been there for over a decade. That building has been untouched for many years. It's funny... when they originally closed the complex, for some reason half of this building (the kitchens/mess hall) was demolished. I'm not sure why they only removed half of the building... Now, in 2008, it's the only building that hasn't been fully demolished!
