It was was after on one of these days he started writing. Not because he loved to but because his doctor told him writing was the key to everything. Someone's heart which meant it would work for him too. As the doctor spoke he laid on the sofa and most of what he said he didn't hear. It's hard to focus if your neck aches and you wonder how many people heard exactly the same song while laying on that sofa. Was it ever cleaned? Not just wiped off or vacuumed but the cloth cleaned by some specialist? You could never be too careful. These days it was easy to get Hiv at the dentist or gynecologist as herpes from a toilet seat or kiss. Imagine how many bacteria lived on it. Was it smart to lay down with your eyes closed in a room of a stranger who told you you can trust him? Trust him? He was paid for saying day after day, week after week, year after year exactly the same words. Most likely he was doodling instead of making notes or he wrote his shopping list for the next celebration. 'A celebration of my money, on my account', he thought bitter.
Once home he started writing. It did not help to oversee the chaos in his mind but at least the cramp in his hand made him focus on something else for a second or two. For a few minutes he rubbed his penmanship and paused to empty a few glasses. 'Drinking is no solution' was the newest slogan of the government, although they kept each state shop selling alcohol open as all the other shops had to be closed. He wrote and drank and wrote and drank and no longer felt the pain. For a second he stopped to ask himself when he had taken his medication for the last time and took a dose to be sure.
A few days later a policeman contacted the psychiatrist and handed him over an envelope with his name on it. The content didn't need much editing. One week before Christmas the famous novel writer Dr. X his latest book was a best seller. No one knew how he did it, his style was rarely the same, but each one of his publications was a masterwork, obvious a masterpiece of a creative soul.
Interesting story. Keep it up!
