A Torture of One's Own Making

Faced with the choice between life in prison and being confined to the same asylum as his lady love Lenore, Gaius Mahler, our bipolar and unreliable protagonist, made what he thought was the sanest choice of his life. As per usual, he was thunderously wrong.

Gaius watched the love of his life freed from the asylum the same day he was committed, but that is just the beginning of the torture. A sadistic psychiatrist, a crew of violently psychotic orderlies, a hospital chapel haunted by the ghosts of all his alleged victims, the music of Ottorino Respighi... There is no end to the torment.

As Gaius's new abnormal threatens to break his already frayed grip on reality, he begins to realize that he has been utterly abandoned and is completely. Lenore is moving on; his only two friends have committed suicide (thereby framing him for murder) and assaulted him. Even his most loyal companion, the ghost of Ludwig van Beethoven, is vanishing into the ether. Gaius is being pushed in a single direction, where he will be forced to make a terrifying choice.
