a story about will and choice
‘Somewhere in the mind a lunatic shuffled a pack of snapshots and dealt them out at random, shuffled once more and dealt them out in a different order, again and again, indefinitely. There was no chronology… The idiot remembered no distinction between before and after. The thirty five years of his life made themselves known to him as a chaos – a pack of snapshots in the hands of a lunatic. And who decided which snapshots were to be kept, which thrown away?’
-Aldous Huxley in Eyeless in Gaza
I wrote this story about this idiot who lives inside my head, a year ago, inspired by these words of Huxley. All the illustrations are also mine. You can read the full story in the pdf below.
