Chapter 23

"I spent a miserable six years in that hospital," I said as I sat on the couch in Dr. Robertson's office.

"What happened to you there?" asked Dr. Robertson.

"They tortured me on a daily basis. And they drugged me when they weren't torturing me."

"What happened with Monica?"

"I had wanted to give her my rosary bracelet, but by that point I had completely lost it."

"Lost your mind?"

"No, the bracelet."

"Oh, I see, Michael. You must have been devastated."

"I was, but first I was so bewildered to be in San Diego Psych Hospital."
