    She lost the battle with the fight to the depression at a physiological level and it reflected outwards. This caused an overall change to the whole story from the narrator's awareness of the situation to the delusional hallucinating and insomnia woman at the end of the story. Within a few days the symptoms start to appear and by the cure’s time-frame was up the madness has set in. “I've got out at last," said I, “in spite of you and Jane? And I've pulled off most of the paper, so you can't put me back! “Now why should that man have fainted? But he did, and right across my path by the wall, so that I had to creep over him every time!”(Stetson, 565). The way to go back to reality had been there for the narrator until this event happened; now it is disappeared…

    Before I could even comprehend, my aunt was convulsing, with eyes rolled back and foam forming at the mouth. Hurriedly, my mom pulled her out of her wheelchair and rolled her on her left side. When the paramedics arrived, it felt like the universe was in slow motion. Voices seemed a million miles away, like soft echoes ricocheting off ragged cave walls. I was infinitely in shock; I could not process my surroundings. Mom rode in the ambulance, while I rode in Grandma Vita’s car. This moment would be the last time I saw Aunt Dori until tomorrow. The hospital was abnormally clean. Some rooms emitted no sound, however, others squealed well into the night. I never in truth noticed patients. Windows and cemented columns at every turn.

Everything is going to be fine.” She relayed the information from the doctors frankly, holding nothing back.…
