He was glad to be out of the sweltering heat outside, which lately had been causing him a bunch of trouble.

A few weeks ago, he'd gotten an unusually bad

sunburn which had only grown worse and turned into a very itchy rash. Scratching

the rash felt like his skin was on fire. So he was glad to distract himself with a hearty meal of cornmeal,

cooked with bacon and drizzled in molasses. But when the farmer was done eating,

he suddenly felt this wave of fatigue sweep over him, and his tongue suddenly felt prickly,

making it seem swollen and strange inside of his mouth. His wife came to his side and placed a

reassuring hand on his shoulder, but the farmer jolted in Winston pain.

Before he could stop her, she pulled down his collar to have a look at his skin, and she gasped.

His entire neck was wringed with a scaly rash.

She told him he needed medical attention right now.

The doctor might put him in the hospital, and then who would take care of the farm?

But his wife insisted, she promised she could handle things at the farm while he was gone.

The farmer nodded. He knew she was right.

So he struggled to his feet and then hobbled over to their dresser and packed a small bag of clothes.

Then he hugged his wife goodbye and hiked down the road towards the nearest

health care provider. The Georgia State Sanitarium for the Insane.
