The Little Pink Pill

Perception Can Be a Tricky Thing

From the author of Flight of the Cuckoo

The world can be a scary place to navigate when you’re brain damaged. Even scarier when you aren’t entirely sure what you might have done during a blackout while your alternate personality is running around in your body. My wife calls him "the other one".

If you can’t trust your own eyes or the people around you, sometimes, it pays to take a leap of faith. I have, I stopped taking my little pink pill. I wonder what will happen?...

After a chance meeting with Sid during a hospital visit - who suffered with schizophrenia, the two of us embarked on a sometimes humorous, sometimes terrifying journey of twists and turns in an effort just to stay in what we believed to be a state of equilibrium. The only problem was, neither of us knew if what we perceived was real or not, especially when LSD got thrown into the mix.

We also had a worrying eye on the news, as more and more people seemed to be going missing, and I wasn't certain if I, Sid, or any of our "other selves" may have played a hand in it.
