Locked away in an asylum since Nude Day, a man has a breakthrough.

"Nude Day. Nude Day. Every day is Nude Day. Nude Day. Nude Day. Every day is Nude Day."
"Hi, I'm Doctor--"
"I know who you are," said the patient sitting on the couch in front of the doctor's chair and looking insanely angry. "Just because I'm crazy, I'm not stupid. I've seen you around. I can't help but see you around," he said spitting out the words with a shrug, before blurting out a loud laugh longer than necessary. "I live here," he said laughing again, only this time even more annoyingly louder.
"Tell me, Timmy," said the doctor. "May I call you Timmy?"
"Of course, that's my name, my name is Timothy, but I'd prefer Tim to Timmy, if you don't mind. Timmy sounds too much like the main character in an old Lassie episode."
"I see," said the doctor casting his eyes down to look over his notes. "It says here that you lived in Miami, after coming to the United States from Cuba."
"No."
"No, what?"
"I lived in South Beach, not Miami. You probably think I'm from Miami because I root for the Miami teams, the Heat and the Dolphins."
"Oh, to be honest, I didn't know anyone lived in South Beach. I thought it was, well...just a beach."
"Yeah, well, there is a community called South Beach, but I was homeless. I actually lived on South beach."
"I see," said the doctor. "And it says here that you're problems started on Nude Day over" withholding a laugh, but unable to hide his smile, the doctor had difficulty finishing his sentence "a woman?"
"Yes, it all started over Cinderella. She was my girlfriend and I loved her deeply. And she loved me, too. We were made for one another," said Tim looking at the doctor with a sad smile. "With her long blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and perfectly sculpted body, she looked just like a real walking and talking Barbie doll."
"I see," said the doctor making eye contact. "Cinderella? That's an unusual name. Did you give that name to her or did she come here from China with that name?"
"China? How dare you? Cinderella was as American as I am or, well, as you are." Tim looked at the doctor with the look of a madman. "Don't pander me, Doctor. Sarcasm doesn't suit your professionalism nor does it put you in my good graces, especially when you besmirch the name of my woman."
"I'm sorry. I meant no offense," said the doctor hiding another laugh. "Tell me, Timmy, how long have you been here?"
"Tim."
"Pardon?"
"I'd rather you call me Tim than Timmy, if you don't mind."
"Sorry. Of course. How long have you been here, Tim?"
"You know how long I've been here, Doctor; it's in your report or is this just a test of my sanity."
"According to my records, you've been here for thirty years."
"Yes. That's correct."
The doctor looked intently at the man. Easily he was 60-years-old but, with his white hair, dark skin, and having the lean and wrinkled body of an old man, looking so much like how one would imagine Santiago to look in Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea, he looked much older. Not appearing very healthy, the drabness of the hospital environment added to his unhealthy appearance.
"It says here that you write," said the doctor looking down to read from his notes.
"Yes."
"Fascinating," said the doctor looking up and over his glasses. "I would love to read some what you have written. What do you write?"
"Stories. I write stories," said Tim putting his head down, as if he was lost in thought and, perhaps, thinking about a story he had written, was writing, or was going to write.
"What kind of stories?"
"If you don't mind, doctor, I don't want to talk about my stories with you."
"Why not?"
"They're private," said Tim looking up at the doctor with a face full of defiance.
"Private?" The doctor looked around the room. "Tim, need I remind you that you're in a mental institution and nothing here is private, not even your bodily secretions," said the Doctor with smugness. "The only real privacy you have is what you say and do in this room during our session."
"Tell me about it," said Tim. "It's a sad day, when I can't even masturbate without the nurse coming by my room and telling me to stop that. How dare she? It's my body. I'm not a child."
"I see," said the doctor making a note before eying his patient with a long stare. "How often do you masturbate?"
"Every day, multiple times a day."
"What do you think about when masturbating?"
