Prisoners of the Mind focuses on two veterans of World War II and takes place in the late 1950s, some twenty years after both suffered wartime trauma in separate incidences.
Medical scans now tell us that such experiences change the brain, leaving such vets trapped by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complete with frightening flashbacks, angry outbursts, feelings of being cut off from others and being constantly on guard.
The symptoms have governed their lives, but one has overcome his suffering; the other hasn't. They interact at a wrecking yard next to a produce market where they work.
In this work of fiction, the reader is presented with an unexpected and startling ending.
