Description

It’s been two decades since Western State Hospital was shut down and the final of its inmates reintegrated into society. Francis Petrel was hardly out-of his teens when his family committed him to the asylum, after his unpredictable behaviour culminated in a frightening episode. Now middle aged, he leads an aimless, individual existence located in a cheap house, occasionally tended to by his siblings, and constantly treated to peaceful the chorus of voices in his mind. But a gathering around the reasons of the institution stirs something deep in Francis’s struggling brain: dim thoughts he believed he'd put to rest, concerning the events that resulted in Western Express Hospital’s death.
