    As a long time hater of Gordon Monson, it pains me anytime I see people hate him incorrectly. Some in this thread seem to get it but some don't.

    Unheard, he thought, and unhealed, he knew, he stared, then, at a bottle of painkillers and thought maybe the pills, a whole näve of them, would do the answering, and kill his pain. The collateral damage, though, wasn’t collateral at all. His mind and body would die alongside the hurt.

    Warnick had tried other methods to garner solutions, to be “fixed,” a term he rightfully finds off-target and downright abhorrent.

    He’d attempted to walk the narrow path his Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints faith had required of him. He’d lived the church’s commandments as best he could, studied scripture, attended meetings
