A startling and insightful story

The story is beautifully narrated, thought provoking and slightly disturbing. There are complex questions here about the notion of choice and some startling revelations about homelessness and mental illness. The upbeat yet reflective voices of the two main characters, Daniel and Gregory, and judicious use of music and sound keep the listener engaged from start to finish.
