The body and what the body is tied to, and a mind that grossly exaggerates those ties, have deprived us of vital insights into the inner world. Yet the latter is never far away. It is just a thought or a breath away. The truth is we hardly know ourselves. Under the avalanche of words and emotions, our consciousness is little more than a ghost. These stories seek to change that. A couple lost at a reservoir must confront a pre-human, ancient perspective. An underground train becomes an instrument of self-discovery. A man jumping to his death points to a state of mind large enough to obliterate all differences. Another man tries to recall who he was before waking up in a forest with his memory wiped. These are just some of the haunting scenarios found here.
