This man is sedated in order to control his tremors and frequent episodes of "acting out," both of which are symptoms of a powerful but little-understood malady known as Sandstone Deprivation Syndrome (SDS). The sedation produced his blank expression.
SDS is a condition found in certain weak-brained individuals who have made the horrendous mistake of walking or hiking among the bizarre sandstone formations near Moab, Utah. Moabian sandstone is psychoramic, meaning that it exudes emanations (gives off vibes) that enslave the serious explorer who gets too close for too long. Because the topography around Moab is so enticing, it is no surprise that so many sandstone addicts frequent the locale for "fixes."
The man is not a happy camper. In fact, he is a basket case. He has been away from Moabian sandstone for almost a year. He was photographed during a "fresh air" exercise during his treatment at Granite Hills Clinic and is wearing a clinic-issued criss-cross jacket (medical term for "straightjacket").
Mr. X is about to be released for good behavior and has promised the staff that he will strive to stay away from Moabian sandstone. However, he is known to be a serial liar, so it would not surprise the staff to learn that he plans a trip to Moab in September 2010.
