Bill,

Thanks for your encouraging comments. The treatment of mental illness is a sadly neglected challenge in most societies.

A powerful narrative of mental illness, offering the perspective of a patient who has emotions and feelings like anyone else. But he interprets his environment through a twisted prism of psychoactive drugs and mental distress. Very effect, thank you very much for this interesting story!

Such a touching tale told through the eyes of a troubled soul whose mind can’t make sense of much but his love for Mary. The comparison between the sun and moon and Chris and Mary is poignant, and understood only by Chris who lives a life of disjointed dreams in a shadowland. Well-done storytelling that makes me want to know more about the journey that brought Chris to The Hospital!
