Manic Sonata Movement II

Love is Always Sane.Gaius Mahler is coming down from his most recent manic episode after finding the love of his life, Lenore, in an insane asylum, yet depression lurks around every corner as his well-medicated mind is startling to comprehend the impossibility of being in love with someone crazier than him. Further complicating his efforts to free his lady fair from the men in white coats are the Armenian mafia who have their own reasons for keeping Gaius away from Lenore, a harpsichord tutor who incomprehensibly enjoys the music of Ottorino Respighi, his brain's insistence on providing incredibly lucid hallucinations, and the author of his story, who keeps inexplicably breaking the fourth wall.As Gaius discovers, there is nothing like the fear of death to put an end to suicidal tendencies, nothing worse than reality in the face of hallucinations, and when dealing with Armenian gangsters, it is best to have a healthy knowledge of Khachaturian.
