“I’ll tell yer one thing” my dad told me, “if it’s it’s a circle it will bounce back, if it’s a square then leave it right there” 
I don’t know what it means; I’m beginning to suspect he had shape-syndrome, a study I’ve recently taken part of as a a psychiatrist is training.

It’s related to synesthesia. The afflicted are convinced that specific shapes have distinct personalities. They will be sure some shapes are friendly, while others hold a personal grudge. One patient will blush at equilateral triangles, another is enraged by octagons.

I blinked up at the kind nurse. She truly was wasting her breath on me. Winding up in this psychiatric retreat was never my intention. If only Mum had given me the chance to figure this all out on my own. I don't need help. God forbid a person has a hobby.
