John Seaberg, Greer, SC has always had an interest in the brain and amazingly, was fortunate to suffer and experience a severe traumatic brain injury first-hand, which changes life and alters perspective on it. John received a scholarship in post-modern philosophy to England, but after a while he squatted in Brighton where he experimented with a vast array and copious quantity of drugs, including heroin. In the past thirteen years since his injury and rehabilitation, John has obsessively studied the brain and how extreme circumstances can challenge, distort, and refine how the intellect works and how the world views the brain. While he has always loved writing, this is John's first short story, written a few years after his injury.
