Lopsided

Dillon Silva Rasika

Description

This is the story of a young man embattled within himself as he tries to deal with the ever-growing condition commonly known as multiple sclerosis. It charts his life in detail, through a panoply of various stylistic techniques, from his first relapse when at home and while still a teenager through the various phases that followed. His eventual diagnosis and 'the melting pot' encountered in university life were all transformative in the man he has now become. Dillon's story wishes to touch the hearts of others like him and find common ground in the illnesses which they face.

A Little Surprise
I sit on my bed, in my room and scan the walls around me. Many posters, paper cuttings, gig tickets, which I really enjoy, and other bits and pieces collected over recent years adorn the walls. But suddenly I catch sight of something. Two pages from a diary are stuck amidst the chaotic imagery. The dates printed are that of June 2005. Suddenly a memory comes like a tidal wave. A few lines are written from Friday 10th to Thursday 16th. After reading through these, I realise the enormity of the case, but they don’t seem too apparent to any new faces. A bit of difficulty here, a bit of difficulty there.
This was hastily scrawled a day or two after my departure from the hospital.
