If Leeches Ate Peaches - one-shot radio drama/podcast
Rat Smacker for Dr. Charlie Sharpe
Charlie Sharpe is Annabelle's ex-fiance. Charlie Sharpe is also Annabelle's new psychiatrist. Do you see the problem here?
He is still in love with her and, despite having assaulted her, does not think he's done anything to hurt her. He truly believes he is helping Annabelle 'get better,' but is really doing whatever he can to keep her contained alongside him. If he can't have her in the real world, he'll have her in the hospital. Because he is so good at being manipulative, he is surprisingly charismatic and sometimes understated in his mannerisms, but has truly sinister moments where he can even become unhinged entirely. It's questionable whether he is even as sane as some of the patients he treats.

(manipulative, calm) I do have a private practice, and I do have plenty of time for you, outside of this hospital. Let me help you, Bells. Let me fix you... (beat) You know how broken you are.
(quiet, loving, sinister undertones) I’d never hurt you, Bells. I love you.
(aggressive, shouting, fast) I said get back here! Stop it – stop it, you bitch! OW! I’m not a bad man! I was giving you something to make all this go away. Just – go away! I’ve been good to you, so good to you! Couldn’t have just been grateful, been a good girl like you used to! Well I’m – I’m not the villain here! Are you suffering? Are you suffering?! STOP TAKING THIS MOMENT AWAY FROM ME!
This was amazing, and thank you so much for taking the time to do this - I really appreciate it!
