Suite Mentale

A man named Paul Wendell survives a catastrophic gunshot but emerges neurologically altered into a near-vegetative state after surgery, despite having claimed and seemingly demonstrated powerful psionic abilities that access information beyond ordinary means. Government and security officials, together with medical personnel, detain several collaborators who have been driven insane and weigh whether to preserve or end Wendell’s life. The narrative alternates among surgical aftermath, bureaucratic deliberation, and Wendell’s inward attempts to understand his disrupted cognition, examining tensions between scientific curiosity, political control, and the ethical costs of exploiting extraordinary mental powers.
