A Case of Mikal Aflerton and the Widowed Heir
A fragmented tale recounts Wael Starkey at Avastin, a high-stakes death tied to marriage and inheritance.

The piece then muses on marriage, age, and social norms with moral commentary on love, fidelity, and the journeys of couples from courtship to lifelong union.

A medical overview describes delusions in insanity, noting patients with normal daily function yet immersed in extraordinary fantasies. It cites fixed beliefs in bodily harm, social grandeur, or divine status, with sample claims of wealth, royal lineage, or magical machines. The piece emphasizes the futility of argument against such delusions and contrasts gloomy with vanity-linked fantasies.
