The First Patients
Lucas was a young man in his thirties, with an athletic physique and a pleasant face. His blue eyes, often tinged with melancholy, betrayed an inner fragility. He had lost his job a few months earlier and was struggling to find meaning in his life. His recent breakup with his girlfriend had only worsened his depressive state.
During his first consultation, Dr. Moreau listened to him attentively, noting every detail of his story. He prescribed mild antidepressants and offered weekly therapy sessions. Lucas, desperate, accepted without hesitation.
Over the weeks, the doctor gained his trust, offering wise advice and supporting him in his moments of doubt. He suggested he take up exercise again to channel his energy and even offered him personalized coaching sessions. Lucas, grateful, let himself be guided, unaware that each step brought him one step closer to the trap set by Dr. Moreau.
Then another client presented himself: Marc, in his forties, was a successful businessman, but his personal life was in complete chaos. His divorce had left him bitter and lonely. He was desperate to fill the void left by his broken family. His imposing physique, with his broad shoulders and piercing gaze, contrasted with his emotional vulnerability.
Dr. Moreau suggested treatment to help him manage his stress and insomnia. He also discussed relaxation and meditation techniques, encouraging him to explore new avenues to find inner peace. Marc, captivated by the doctor's holistic approach, was convinced.
Little by little, Dr. Moreau introduced more personal elements into their discussions, discussing personal development practices and purification rituals. Marc, fascinated by these new perspectives, allowed himself to be drawn into a world where the lines between well-being and submission were becoming blurred.
To flesh out the trio, the Doctor had selected Étienne, a tormented artist whose works reflected the inner demons that haunted him. His androgynous physique, with his fine features and long hair, attracted attention, but he often felt misunderstood and isolated. His quest for recognition and acceptance made him particularly vulnerable.
Dr. Moreau offered him a listening and understanding ear, encouraging him to express his emotions through his art. He prescribed anti-anxiety medication to help him overcome his anxiety attacks and offered him art therapy sessions, where he could explore his feelings in depth.
Étienne, touched by the doctor's kindness, opened up without restraint. He agreed to participate in creative workshops, where he met other patients of Dr. Moreau. Without realizing it, he gradually allowed himself to be influenced, adopting practices and behaviors that insidiously brought him closer to the doctor's Machiavellian plan.
Each patient, attracted by the promise of a better life, allowed themselves to be guided by Dr. Moreau. The therapy sessions gradually transformed into conditioning sessions, where the doctor subtly instilled his ideas and desires. The patients, isolated and vulnerable, were unaware of the danger awaiting them.
Dr. Moreau, a master of manipulation, wove his web with diabolical precision. He knew exactly which words to use, which emotions to arouse to get what he wanted. The patients, blinded by their quest for well-being, had no idea they were becoming pawns in a perverse and cruel game.
Soon, the physical transformations would begin, and with them, Dr. Moreau's true nature would be revealed in all its horror.
