The Walk Of Pain

 I bet you thought I was going to complain about my aches and pains. But no! I am actually taking you on a tour of our Pain Clinic at Christmas time.

The first thing you will see upon entering is their receptionist, Scully. Scully works part-time, and only appears at Halloween and Christmas.




He brings along his little dog.


Entering the waiting room, you will find this man in the corner. He is wearing all the latest medical equipment. But I bet you thought it was various torture devices. They do look like they would cause pain rather than relieve it!




This is getting rather creepy, so let's proceed to the exam room. Take a seat. But watch where and how you sit, you would not want to put undue stress on your bones or spine.




Time to go. And maybe get some ice-cream and take a short nap so we can forget all about our visit.

“Behind every beautiful thing, there’s been some kind of pain.”

It looks like they have a lot of fun decorating for the holidays. Scully is quite a greeter. I'm not so sure about the other guy though. He doesn't look quite as friendly.

That was kind of funny - I think. Interesting. And the quote - no pain no gain. I guess good things do come from pain and struggle.

Some very creative folks must work there.
I quite like Skully, but his dog has a very ferocious look.
