the ECT candidates list pending his next Mental Status Exam. Dr.<br />
Stackhouse has given him the assignment of writing a journal about his<br />
life in the hopes that this will allow for greater insight which may allow<br />
us to pursue less intrusive therapeutic approaches.<br />
Light filtered through the dusty pane glass windows across the room.<br />
The windows were divided into 4x4 sections by strips of stained wood. It<br />
was a long, narrow classroom, with stucco walls, off-white and covered<br />
in a lattice-work of cracks. An old, temperamental coil heater in the corner<br />
hissed as the professor, a thin, pockmark-faced man paced back and<br />
forth on the creaking floorboards. Although he was balding, his wild,<br />
curly hair, goatee and intelligent, darting eyes betrayed his relative youth<br />
as a teacher and gave him a mischievous, plotting look. In fact, he looked<br />
quite like the devil. Students shuffled in their seats. Some of them pulled<br />
out books; all of them did their best to appear studious.<br />
The professor ceased his pacing and looked over the class with his<br />
clear, blue eyes. He took in one deep breath, held it, and then leapt into<br />
his classic rapid-fire lecture technique. “The fish is a symbol of fatherhood,<br />

was a definite urgency in his voice that caught J’s attention immediately.<br />
“Have you ever heard of the Mother Hive Brain?”<br />
J merely stared at K incredulously for a moment, his mouth slightly<br />
ajar, and then looked back to the professor.<br />
“…In Hebrew mythology, the symbol is connected to Noah. Note also<br />
that the symbol of the fish has been chosen to represent the Redeemer.<br />
The early Christians used the symbol of the fish to represent their martyr.<br />
It is of note that the letter Nun corresponds to the astrological sign of<br />
Scorpio and to the Tarot card of Death, which is the thirteenth card, 13<br />
being the number of steps on a gallows. A tacit mythological truth is that<br />
death always implies birth, and that the two are really not at all different,<br />
being but two phases of the same process. From the standpoint of anthropology,<br />
you can see the symbol of Osiris coming from vegetable societies,<br />
where the crops are ‘slain’ each year and grow anew from the<br />
earth. You may refer to the mythology of Isis, Osiris and Horus for further<br />
details, as well as some hints at what the ritual is to resurrect the<br />
