Sigmund's couch is a soft deep brown leather. When not occupied by his patients, he frequently reclines on it, giving himself over to ruminations about and analysis of the supressed needs and dark desires of his clients.
The couch is the showpiece of an otherwise plain but comfortable office whose walls are hung with his myriad degrees and awards and festooned with pictures of Sigmund shaking hands with famous people or looking sagely into the camera lens over these same people as they recline on his celebrated setee.
The one large window looks out onto Washington square, which in this innocent dawn of the century is the social hub of Greenwich Village, the wildly bohemian heart of New York City.
NYC...NYC! you say?...Why Freud never set his shingle out in the Big Apple.
No but this isn't history either and I have decided that after his amazingly succesful visit to Boston and Harvard in 1909, he decides to relocate across the Atlantic in the dynamic heart of
metropolitan America.
Frau Freud however refuses to accompany him, atributing it all to mid-life crises...he's 53 at the time...and wishing him well, asks only that he send money frequently.
He finds a small but efficiant office on the square with a comfortable apartment just above it and hires as his nurse a young woman named Veronica Cabot, a recent graduate of Vasser, an avid follower of the Professor's work, with a raging ambition and a raging Libido. Miss Cabot is a 'liberated' woman and a tall blonde bombshell to boot.
He is known sometimes to call in his former student and close friend Karl Jung when in need of a fresh perspective on the collective sub-conscious and things like that.
It's a chilly Fall afternoon in 1911 and Vera has just stuck her head in the door from the small waiting room to tell him that his next patient has arrived....
This is a closed thread for the moment. Chanaud and I who create and discard threads like bad poker hands have great hopes for this one...
If your interested in making a guest appearence on the couch, or coming in as one of the good Doctor's consultants, please PM me or Chanaud.
Special thanks to Morwen who gave me the idea.
