IN THE END

Suffering from amnesia and delirium, a man wakes up in a hospital with only a strange, mysterious lady to look after him. Who is she, why is she the only one by his side, and why is he her responsibility? Struggling to pick up the fragments of his past, he unravels his former life, and it is full of heartaches and wrongdoings. Is his loss of memory a chance to review his circumstances from the outside-in, and to make right what he had done wrong? Or is it only a tormenting, hellish means of reliving what he once tried to run away from? What had caused him to commit such horrendous acts, and what had he done to deserve such suffering? Most of all, will he succumb to misery or triumph over it? Estimated reading time: 1 hour 30 minutes
