Is this narrative real. If so I have a tremdous compassion for this young man and hope that he both seeks and receives treatment. If this is not a real story then it is a wonderful work of fiction that made something achingly real for me. I absolutely concur with your assessment, Don. I believe the author of this piece made his own journey and took us along a path of almost fractal complexity. I've gone back through the site and knowing the end it plays differently, and better. If it were an art exhibit I'd find myself wanting to experience it non-linearly after the first linear exposure. I find myself wanting to meet both people. Although I'm wondering if it's just one person both teller and subject. I may well work that way also. I delight in ambiguity. There is much to find delightful here. Next stop: Wonderland. Adam
