Anesthesia, or anaesthesia (from Greek ἀν-, an-, "without"; and αἴσθησις, aisthēsis, "sensation"),[1] is a temporary state consisting of unconsciousness, loss of memory, lack of pain, and muscle relaxation.
After the loss of her parents, Ellen Marshals submits herself to a scientific research team, in which she will be unconscious for a period of time only to be then transferred to a room where she and a person of the exact opposite personality will be held for thirty days. After the test is completed, both subjects are to be paid and everything goes back to normal. But alas, things are never as they seem.

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.
