Jeffery Goines is not ashamed of his dangerous gifts and mad sensitivities, but he is keenly aware of the stigma and discrimination that continues to oppress people who disclose their conditions. Out of consideration for his family and his future-self, he has published this piece under a pen name, providing a modicum of privacy and protecting them from casual internet searches. If you would like to contact Jeffery, please write to Blunderbuss at blunderbussmag@gmail.com so they can put you in touch.
In the Nevada desert and the psych wards of New York City, a man tries to live with his madness rather than have it bludgeoned out of him.
