Drunk. Drunker. Drunkest.

　　 Ted was sent to Ancorra Mental Hospital after attempting suicide. His transformation after he stopped taking his psychiatric medication was insane. When he stopped taking his pills, his schizophrenia was no longer in remission. It progressed to the point of his attempting suicide. No one could believe that he had taken over my identity in his mind. Like psychiatric wards with patients thinking they are Jesus, Ted's disease took ownership of his mind. Ted thought that he was me and then attempted suicide. That was his alternate reality and that is the reality that I would have to live through. And I did live through it: drunk, drunker, drunkest.
