14 months ago, Peregrin ‘Pippin’ Murphy had a psychotic break. She remembers herself ripped from reality by a tentacled vessel, then being infected with a squirming tadpole by a squid-faced abomination. She remembers a grand adventure in a fantasy world where she served justice, made friends and fell in love. She remembers entire months of this, but they tell her she was gone for weeks. Whatever Pippin was really up to during the time she was missing is a mystery, what she does remember, she now knows to be false. A year since Pippins’ return to her own mind and she’s getting better. The authorities found her on the side of a highway, far from the city where she lived, the victim of a hit-and-run. The blow to her head seems to have actually helped her; she knows what reality is now. Pippin is determined to make the most of her return to the real world. She dutifully takes her medication, attends group and private sessions. She follows her doctor's orders. This weekend, she has been granted an overnight pass. Her first since the break. Her father is coming to collect her and bring her home for a visit. Or is he? Someone has come to collect her, anyway. It’s time Pippin went home.
