Title: Speak Up
Author: valeriebean, phd
Summary: Dr. Treves used to reach out in compassion, but the years have worn him. Now, as he mourns the death of his patient, he wonders at the spirit he lost. Inspired by the play, ‘The Elephant Man’ by Bernard Pomerance.

( He often found himself crying out at the top of his voice to a world that wouldn't listen. And slowly, through the years, he'd learned not to waste his breath. )
