    About this ebook

    Sunshine is a 6700-word Memoir by Matt Reynolds based on his experience of being involuntarily sent to a mental institution. In his memoir, Matt creates a highly-stylized and potent 6-section collection of sequential works, each with their own unique style and portrayal, some eccentric, some painful, all of it powerful and honest. Sunshine is a look at the mind of a man suffering from the pain of psychosis, unrequited love, and self-questioning on his journey towards adulthood.

    Matt Reynolds

    When he's not writing, Matt Reynolds is probably playing computer games under his username "Randomguy7". He currently maintains a gaming blog called "Randominated" and has a rather basic gaming channel, Gaming Unfiltered. Matt's writing varies from high-action, science fiction, videogame inspired works and eccentric yet dramatic, more realistic works. Matt has a imagery-rich, eccentric, sometimes energetic and unique writing style, inspired by the media he loves.

      Sunshine - Matt Reynolds

      Sunshine

      A Memoir

      by

      Matt Reynolds

      You Are My Sunshine

      My only sunshine.

      You make me happy

      When skies are gray.

      You'll never know, dear,

      How much I love you.

      Please don't take my sunshine away

      The other night, dear,

      As I lay sleeping

      I dreamed I held you in my arms.

      When I awoke, dear,

      I was mistaken

      And I hung my head and cried.

      1. Kliff, Sarah. Seven Facts about America's Health-care System. Wonkblog. Washington Post, 17 Dec. 2012. Web. <http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2012/12/17/seven-facts-about-americas-mental-health-care-system/>.

      This is a catch-all source for me, because most of my figures I used were hosted on images posted on that very site in the article hosted there. So yeah.

      My mom always said, Choose the Mayo clinic and not webmd. You're psychosomatic and you will find too many probable diagnoses on webmd's little tool and you'll believe all of them. Not sure why I chose this, considering how this reason is entirely unrelated. But at the very least I knew it was a reputable source, if not only more so than WebMD.

      If anything, this was the best example of becoming not-as-insane metaphorically I could think of, my absolute no-holds-barred obsession over The Matrix notwithstanding.
