About this ebook
Isaac Cavallius's memory of Stalin moving next door to him in West Central Ohio has been narcohypnotically revived.
Lurid experimentation occurred in Stalin's house, and Isaac was castrated; he'd repressed that memory for a very long time, not just of his gelding, but also the memory of how he came by what he called his "ritual markings."
He felt only regret; he said, "I am surrealist in my regret."
His only hope was to become someone else.
Author
Philip Opdycke
Philip Opdycke was born in West Central Ohio, and has spent most of his life in Northern California.
