Summary:A novelist is diagnosed with huntington disease a terminal disease affecting the brain and cognitive functions and he decides to write his memoir in order to save what left of his mind before he can no longer recognize it. He has spent his life being as escapist, creating stories and characters that live his life for him instead of doing things on his own but now, he has to deal with looking at his own life and reality, and writing it constructing his self before he completely loses it. Throughout his introspection, he sees that there is practically no life of his to write about. He has spent all his days living in his fiction that he has ignored what is real.
