| mayflower state hospital's medical building crouches behind a row of skeletal trees, its central entrance like the gaping maw on the head of a monstrous eight-eyed spider. in photographs, however, it seems much smaller than it actually is - behind the facade is a maze of forking hallways that one could easily wander in for hours. though its interior has been vandalized and its original appearance stripped away, there is a certain ominousness to the wards inside that time will never fade and an all-encompassing darkness that even the golden afternoon sun can never dispel. |
