Welcome to Litsy!

Sometimes Bone King cannot go through doors. He has no physical impairment, but at times his brain and muscles simply can�t recall how to walk him through them. Perhaps it has something to do with his being distracted thinking about grammar and etymology all the time, or maybe it�s anxiety that his wife is having an affair with the yardman. But then renowned neurologist Arthur Limongello offers a diagnosis as peculiar as the ailment: Bone�s self is starting to dislodge from his brain. The treatment is a series of therapeutic tasks; Bone must compliment a stranger each day, do good deeds without being asked, and remind himself each morning, that �Today is a good day!� But first, as a temporary measure, he also suggests Bone simply try to dance through the doorways. And for a time, Bone�s square dancing, the only kind of dance he knows how to do, seems to more or less work. Bone�s condition begins to improve, but then his wife leaves him, and after a harrowing ordeal during which he nearly loses his life, Bone makes an astounding discovery about the man who has been calling himself Dr. Limongello. Is Limongello�s remedy the product of a deranged imagination or the cure for a modern epidemic threatening the very self?
