A Universe Within

 

This is a novella length story I wrote over lockdown, see the blurb below and maybe have a read.


After struggling through episodes of profound mental ill health Mack is living life as though in a coma. Mack's life is punctuated when he witnesses an accident. Now his life is entwined with an actual coma patient which initiates all kinds of encounters and events, beginning a life affirming process for all involved. The journey weaves together environmental issues, mental health experiences and spirituality in a search for meaning and vitality. The vital issues tackled in its pages around mental health stigma, recovery, existential dread and trying to be human in a confusing world are themes that many will relate to.


The story is a meditation and celebration of the natural world and friendship.
