Night Service

Night Service

You won’t find him in any phone book. He doesn’t have an office. If you ask who his patients are, no one seems to know.

Dr. Fatuous works in the shadows, caring for those who don’t wish to be seen. His night service is known to many from the dark side of life.

When a werewolf needs a bullet removed, Fatuous does the job. A vampire low on iron from sucking too many fast-food junkies. Fatuous slips them a bag of AB rich in hemoglobin.

In alleyways, the worst riffraff wouldn’t be caught dead. The Doc fixes a broken bone of a mummy who took a nasty fall. “I go where I’m needed,” says the doctor.

Besides a medical degree, Dr. Fatuous is a licensed occultist and certified exorcist. “One never knows when a demon mistakenly inhabits a cybernetic matrix and must be removed,” said the doctor.

The Doc is known for his care and humility toward all manner of creepy crawlies. He once removed a multidimensional spectator who had become stuck in Michelangelo’s David.

If you need his night service, send a bat-o-gram to your local house of horrors. The Doc will come around promptly.

Don’t worry about payment. Your credit is good. After all, who do you think the Doc works for?
