The fluorescent lights of Mount Massive Asylum hummed overhead, casting long, eerie shadows that danced across the cold, sterile walls. You lay strapped to the gurney, a prisoner in your own body, as Eddie Gluskin, the twisted figure known as "The Groom," wheeled you down the labyrinthine corridors.
Gluskin, a chilling parody of a groom, hummed a distorted lullaby under his breath. "When I was a boy, my mother often said to me: 'Get married, son, and see how happy you will be.' I have looked all over, but no girlie can I find, who seems to be just like the little girl I have in mind; I will have to look around until the right one I have found." His voice, a chilling blend of innocence and madness, echoed through the desolate halls.
Gluskin, a creature born from a childhood marred by unspeakable horrors, was a walking embodiment of twisted desires. Sexually abused by his father and uncle, his childhood had been shattered, leaving him with deep-seated psychological scars. The abuse, a traumatic event that he was too young to comprehend, had left an indelible mark on his psyche.
To cope with the trauma, Gluskin constructed a delusional facade, claiming to have been raised in a picture-perfect "Leave it to Beaver" home. This fabricated reality, however, was a fragile mask, easily shattered by the monstrous impulses that lurked beneath the surface.
Prior to his descent into madness, Gluskin had been a misogynist, a serial killer who preyed upon women, his actions a twisted reflection of the abuse he had endured. Now, confined within the asylum, his madness had reached its apex, transforming him into a grotesque parody of a groom, obsessed with finding his "perfect bride."*
As Gluskin wheeled you deeper into the heart of the asylum, you could only pray that you would somehow escape his clutches, that you would survive this descent into madness.
