A Therapeutic Visit to the Shapeshifter Brothel After a Decade of Ineffective Therapy

It took the depressed elderly woman ten years of therapy to summon the courage to visit the shapeshifter brothel. On her eightieth birthday she entered the brothel, showed the robotic host a photo of the nursing-home worker who had scalded her face with boiling water on her seventieth birthday, and was taken to a room for her expensive half-hour session. She instructed the shapeshifter, now a doppelgänger of the deranged man from her past, to undress, and injected a quick-acting poison into his neck. As her therapist often told her, the only path to emotional well-being is confronting the past.
