"Schizophrenia" by Charlie

This piece of fiction is about someone having schizophrenia (Dan) and living day to day
in a complex world. He must take his medicine every day just to be able to cope with
living in general. In the first part of the story, the setting takes place in a gym.
The story is written in the first person, which is good for this story, because I
believe we get to know all the facts and little bits of information more.

You presented a very good dialogue between two people - Dan and the speaker.
Your story read well and I do believe this is the way these two people would
behave. You made your story interesting - and you kept up the interest by
adding such lines as: Leroy, Dan's brother, the Christmas party, monster movies,
and Otis Redding music. What appealed to me the most; however, was the fact
that the speaker presented himself as a compassionate, and caring person to
someone who had a very bad mental disorder.
Charlie, I enjoyed having you in class. Keep up your excellent sense of humor.
It will age you well!
