hey guess what. youre screwed

Joe is basically screwed. He has no arms, no legs, no face, and he is deaf. He has no way to communicate, at all. No one knows what he wants or his thoughts or feelings. He doesn’t know what day it is, what time of year or what to do. He is basically dead. It is hard for him because he is trapped in his own mind. He knows he is going to go crazy if he can’t figure out the difference between when he is sleeping and dreaming and when he is awake and conscious of his thoughts. He figures out a way to tell what time of day it is by listening for the nurses. He decides to teach himself something new every chance he can. This helps him from going insane, but he still can’t communicate which is the most difficult thing for him.
