Review: Excellent short story...

I'd give it a 4.5, with the 1/2 star off for the typos/editing concerns.  The story itself is quite compelling and I did not find those concerns enough of a distraction to warrant rounding down.  Truly the word I choose for this story is 'compelling'.  There are few stories out there that stay with me over the years and this will be one of them.The writer draws you into the main character and gradually unfolds the details of how he found himself with limited memories and in 'the second ward' of an apparent psychiatric hospital--where he has supposedly resided from the ages of 9 through to near adulthood.  As a reader I was tantalized with details--wondering why certain things were a certain way (I don't want to do any spoilers here...) and everything that seemed 'off' in a description was understandable in the end.This is definitely NOT something I would normally read and yet this will be finding itself in my 'unexpected gem' collection on my Kindle.Highly Recommended (even though I did not chuckle even once!)JTG
