What are YOU afraid of?

Snakes? Heights? Death? How about the degradation of your own mind?

Charlie can't answer that question. He would much prefer the languor of a brooding evening than the hustle and bustle of day life. Society is a non-sequitur, an incompatibility with his own meandering life-style. When night comes, he dims his light a little lower; when the sun rises from the ashes, he draws his curtains a little tighter. The monotony of life is, by all means, his forte. His mother's death, his muddled old life, and incessant head-aches plague him, souring the already diluted taste of what others call the "zest of life".  When he does leave home, it's for the local beach, where the shores teem at the banks of the sand and his eyes find refuge in their own routine: scanning the interminable horizon.
