About This Book

The narrative follows Orville Potts, an institutionalized patient who endures regimented physical therapy and officious attendants while escaping into elaborate mental projections. He conjures historical battles, speculative inventions, and imagined futures, discovering that precise sensory detail seems to determine whether his mind can travel. The story alternates between the claustrophobic routines of the ward and Potts's intense interior visions, probing imagination as a means of escape and examining the uncertain boundary between remembered pasts, invented scenarios, and possibilities yet to come.
