As I stepped out of the bathysphere, I immediately sensed a familiarity. This was, after all, my head, and I should be familiar with at least parts of what I see. I won't bore you with adjective laden descriptions of what I see, but I will from time to time point out interesting (at least to me) signposts, landmarks and other clever little places. For now, let me just point out that I will be exploring and you are invited along. Stay as long as you want; leave as soon as you can - you know where the exit is located.
The first random door leads to a rather nondescript room. In it are two men, who appear to be having a rather heated discussion. I don't really want to bother them, but they insist upon interacting with me. The first, Cotard, is convinced that he is dead. Poor fellow, he seems quite sincere. His roommate, as it where, does not seem particularly perturbed. He, Capgras, lets me in on the secret. His (our?) friend is an impostor. So, while he feels sorry for the man and his obvious illness, he is not grieved. His friend has been replaced by a this impostor; the reason for such is unknown however. And thus the heated discussion, with each insisting he is correct in interpreting the situation.
Closing the door, I look ahead to several passages. "Sioctha le heagla" reads one passage. It looks too dark an foreboding for now. Perhaps later. "Brionglóid a bheith agat ar rud" looks promising. But I am most interested in "Anois." And it that is where I will start.
