This is a tale of a soldier and his beloved. Both are separated by time and distance of war. Both eagerly awaiting each other's return. The soldier is plagued by what he has done as a soldier. His beloved is locked away within herself and cannot escape except in dreams and memories that they both share. Then the soldier is at his beloved's side telling stories so that she knows he is there for her waiting. His beloved tries to wake herself yet cannot reach a state of wakefulness. The doctor tells the soldier there is nothing he can do for the soldier's beloved and grudgingly the soldier understands. Soldier continues to talk to his beloved and yet feels lonely without his beloved. What will the soldier do? What will his beloved do? Is the doctor wrong about the soldier's beloved? Your answers await in Lethargica.
