SYNOPSIS
Arthur Zeff has “solved Philosophy.” He is dismissed of his professorship at Bentham College for being “old fashioned.” Vivian Zeff is concerned for her husband Arthur’s wellbeing, as his absent-mindedness is threatening to “blow up the house.” Thank God for shrinks. Thus enters hypnotist Doctor Nigel Collins, a government-issue virtual reality robot who by plumbing Arthur’s mind links DNA blood samples with a hypnotic digression into past lives. The attempt is to make the knowledge of Arthur Zeff profitable.
The ending will surprise you.

A Cut Not Deep Enough
So that was the deciding factor. It became my inspiration, my reason for resorting to such seclusion. I had always needed my own space for working, which is why even when I worked in the hospital I never allowed for a nurse or doctor or any other person to be in room, except me and the patient. I am unable to perform my work with prying eyes staring me down and questioning me, questioning my methods and maybe even questioning my humanity. Thus, when she stopped living here by my side, I took that as my cue to quit working in the hospital. ---- Dr. Roy Andrews, a highly credible neurosurgeon has a knack for solving cases of comatose. His methods, however, are questionable. And highly unorthodox. He enters the patient's minds. Despite that factor, he has never once messed up a case. He has never once lost somebody. However, when patient Kester Montgomery arrives under his care, the circumstances of his case baffle Dr. Andrews, leading to the possibility of a detrimental outcome. As Andrews ventures through the depths of Kester's mind, he finds out what working on a case of mental instability is like. ***Cover photo does not belong to me.
