All Steven's forty years he talked to himself. And to get away from the chatter of his thinking Steven preoccupied himself. He took drugs, drank wine and liquor, worked way too many hours, read books, watched films, fell in love, had lots of sex, and there was always music. Then everything changed in his life. He could no longer fall in love and since he equated sex with love; that distraction was lost as well. His stomach went bad and he had surgery. Because of this he could not drink. His money ran to nothing.
