Hi Andrew

and a very warm welcome to MM.  If you have any questions please feel free to send me a PM (private message) there is a button marked send msg at the bottom of this post that you can press.

Wow, what a first poem.  You don't need to feel tentative about posting it.  It was a gripping, fascinating read.  I have never heard of a scanner used in treating depression before.  What exactly does it do?  How does it help in the treatment?  

The whole story was very realistic and felt as if it were something you have actually experienced.  If so I hope you are not feeling too depressed at the moment and if it is not something you've been through then, what an imagination you have.

I particularly like the way you weave in details of the narrator's family history in an understated way, giving the reader an understanding of the possible root causes of the man's mental state.  The image of the drunken father were very powerful.

My fingers were twitching reading the man's yearning to press the black button and part of me wanted him to and part of me didn't.

A fascinating insight, thanks for the read

Nina
