It was all very depressing. Eddy spent his days reading romance novels on his Palm Pilot, surfing the net on an underpowered computer, playing his Stradivarius, and riding the subway. Few people looked at him on the subway. Those who did just assumed he was a very large bag person, and gave him as much space as they could. Eddy had a place to live, a job, a steady income, and all the vegetables he could eat, but everyone was afraid of him, so he was lonely and depressed.
Some people are never satisfied.
Then it got worse. He started having dreams about the past lives of his various parts. Some people have multiple personalities. Eddy had multiple pasts. So one day, Eddy decided it was time to visit a shrink.
