Retrospectives and perceptions of the author’s life, trials, and the beginning of the unconventional train of thought she carries around her delicate neck like a bedazzled décolletage exposed for all to see. It is a journey of description and horror with injected hidden humour. Her dry wit towards the fallacies of an empty society seasons her words as she expresses her core feelings towards the unrestrained arrogance she encounters daily. It is a compilation of illustrative descriptions of her response to negative stimuli and her accomplishments despite the countless attempts of operant conditioning. Through poems and short stories, you visit and feel her experiences. It is a whirlwind of emotions as the journey takes you on a joyride, only for you to find that the brakes have failed and what you thought was a 10-degree gradient slope ahead is actually a 170-degree escarpment into the abyss that is her soul, and which is all too often plagued by tragicomic chains of events.
