Excerpt

“I think I’ve finally gone crazy.” he says, “Or maybe it’s just that I’ve been crazy for awhile, but only now do I realize it. But then I hear a voice from the back row of the peanut gallery in my mind. It says ‘What’s it like to be crazy?’ A normal person would probably just dismiss this question, go on with their life. But I think we can tell I’m not a normal person. This is made more apparent in the moment by the very fact that I am seriously considering the question. Finally I answer back ‘One can never truely explain the state of being crazy. One can only experience it. Beware if you would become crazy for the sake of experiment. While it might be easy to become crazy. It will be quite difficult, if not impossible to return from the brink.” This is what he says to no one in particular. Espically since there is no one around his room. He stares at the ceiling a bit more, lying on his bed. Then he shifts onto his side and tries to sleep. For in sleep, there are no more questions to be asked and no answered are expected.
