That was one gift of madness, the suspension of disbelief, especially in the dialogue among the patients. It didn't matter if everything we said or believed was true--we played a long, and that often led us to some sort of truth, or at least something we could rely on for awhile. The edge of insanity isn't truth, but a story we can believe at least temporarily.
