An interesting one Rob, but it doesn't quite work for me. The images are strong and striking, but there's no self-consistency in them. I've worked with some severely disturbed people, and their imaginings often have a terrifying skewed logic to them. To my mind there are too many disjunctions in the visions you describe. They've possibly got more in common with transient hallucinatory states than with either psychosis or dementia.

Thanks, Colin. I think you're right.
I will revise it. It's the first draft of this that I thought was beginning to get somewhere. I'll see where I can take it.
