Imagine if you will, a world where the normal laws of physics have been slightly changed. You swirl around almost weightlessly, with no control over your limbs. Sounds seem either deafeningly loud or hopelessly muffled. Sensory input floods your system, overwhelming you with bright colours, patterns and odours that attack you from every side, without warning. Communication is almost impossible. You open your mouth and the wrong words come out. People talk down to you as if you were a child.

Those who enjoyed reading Naoki's short stories may find [[The Daily Journal of Arabella Crumblestone by Sharon King and Rose King]] interesting as the author and main character in the story have Asperger's syndrome.
