Grendel
I read a book called Grendel. Quite good at depicting the fall towards insanity. Here are bits that I liked very much. Some describe what I feel like now.
"Futility, doom, became a smell in the air, pervasive and acrid as the dead smell after a forest fire-my scent and the world's, the scent of trees, rocks, waterways wherever I went."
"So sad so young? And even in sleep?
Worse times are yet to come, my love."
"Tedium is the worst pain. In my cave the tedium is worse, of course."
Soon to come are Girlfriend 44 excerpts.
