SOLILOQUY (excerpt)
LAYING THERE ON HIS BACK STIFF AND UNMOVING no one would have known that he was expected to get up again. No one except the people who randomly visited his bedside. Bright lights overhead were turned on and off as though Jaylon would need to see anything. His eyes were taped over with gauze and surgical tape. A tube ran into his nostrils and one down his throat. Wire probes attached to his forehead and seemed to extend from every extremity and oriface except his ears. A woman in white edged toward him from down the hall, tablet in hand, talking under her breath to a man walking at her side, "He can be sent to," she glanced toward the ceiling to read metal placards with letters and numbers on them, "...he'll go to the North Wing, Level five... room 523. There should be a nurse ready to assist with transferring him to his permanent bed and finishing paperwork." The man next to her, a tall thin asian with clearcut features and dark tanned skin nodded briefly before speaking, "I will let the family know that he's a lucky man. We have pumped his stomache and are administering IV fluid to rebuild his body fluids to wash the drugs he's taken out of his system. If they'd waited minutes later, he'd be on the lower level right now, at the morgue. We could not have helped him. Now it's just a waiting game to have him want to come back this way fromthat heavy trip he's taken," Two male nurses appeared fromthe opposite end of the corridor, grasped the end of the gurney, raised the guardrails at each side and pulled him out into the long hall toward the elevators. The woman in white returned to the wide counterspace at the center of another corridor to pick up another file and clipboard. The handsome asian followed the other medical staff toward the elevator to escort Jaylon to his temporary home away from home.

New Study Asks: Are Women More at Risk of Depression Genetically? 6000+ Female-Only DNA Markers Say Yes
Depression has long been viewed through the lens of circumstance—stress, trauma, hormonal shifts, and social roles. But a groundbreaking genetic study published in Nature Communications has added a new layer to the conversation: women may carry a higher genetic risk than men.

Healing and Recovery Through Art
For centuries, some of the most famous artists have been victims of trauma and violence—especially childhood ones. While I am of the firm opinion that no human should ever be traumatized by another human being, there is no denying: Trauma, tragedy, sadness, and mental anguish are beautiful muses. These horrifying things have been the muse of many a famous artist throughout history.
