One of Amazon’s Top 10 Bestsellers A powerful and dramatic story about a child prodigy who overcame serious mental illness and schizophrenia to become one the youngest employees of the federal government. “But I keep seeing this eyeball staring at me from the bottom of my Vodka bottle! I think it’s my conscience.” Upon looking closer, I was aghast. Oh no, the heckler was a Church Hen-at large, one of those smiling pests who spoil my Saturday mornings and solemn evenings of quiet reflection with a bunch of biblical clap trap, to say nothing of their monopoly on morality. “Son, your wires are crossed. What the devil is you talking about, anyway? Damn, my toes itch! Go take your happy pills or have a drink, or something. This nonsense is open rebellion against the voices in your head,” she exclaimed, talking loudly, taking off her shoes, and scratching her toes. “How can you attack me when you’re dressed like you like you want to increase the family? Hen, I’m trying to stand above the age, it’s an ancient concept that recognizes and hallows the God within us, and the gift of breathing life into what is best in every living person. Anyway, Frau Hen, whenever I have a drink a particular disease flares up in me involving the internet and certain websites, where I’m told that no one wants to sleep with me but my wife. I reminded them that love fails but courtesy prevails. But listen, Hen, you are living in a prison without bars, and not aware of it, you’re not even aware of the screen that shuts out your horizon, your wandering through a thick fog, believing it’s transparent!” And turning to her friend, the sassy Hen said, “Good Gawd’, Brother Dale E. Bread don’t sit there like a clam; open up and say something to show this Don Quixote who, because he himself, sees only windmills, cannot see that we have real monsters to fight.” Thus begins this story, the child prodigy who was a legend by age twenty when he slipped into madness, and who—thanks to the selflessness and the loyalty of friends and a devoted partner—emerged from homelessness and a ghostlike existence to triumph over adversity, and to become one of the youngest employees’ of the federal government.
