Dr. Marlow's Home for the Sanity-Challenged (COMPLETE)
A Victorian-themed Asylum story!
England, 1889. After suggesting to his employer, Dr. Marlow, that patients with mental issues should be cared for within society instead of being locked away, Dr. Barnaby Tripp is assumed to have gone insane himself for concocting such a radical notion. Swiftly confined to the Home for the Sanity-Challenged, Dr. Tripp soon gets acquainted with his fellow residents: a depressed nun, a jilted bride, an aggresive ex-military boxer, a kleptomaniac wheeler-dealer, a deluded snob who believes she is royality, a lovelorn music hall singer, and a sickly melancholy poet. In order to earn his freedom, Dr. Tripp must prove that he is sane... whilst also doing his utmost to keep everyone else happy, safe and alive.

Just a note to say this has been on hiatus whilst I completed the Miskin Legacy. With that now finished, I will be resuming this story ASAP!

The inmates become supportive carers as a mysterious plague-like malady seizes several of their number. This leads the most arrogant and standoffish of the Home's eight residents to become Tripp's helper... bringing them closer together in the process.
