Madness Unleashed: The Shocking Story of Bedlam Mental Asylum
Funny how certain words stick with you, isn't it? I distinctly remember the first time I heard the word "bedlam." I was a child, amidst the chaos of a crowded shopping center on Christmas Eve. Wild eyes, foaming mouths, and the war cries of fully grown adults battling over the last Tamagotchi on the shelf. It was pure bedlam.
