$50 to Ukraine, one is stuffed, 20 years.
(Preview)

Imprisonment..
(Preview)
Imprisonment in one's own rapidly shrinking brain is how a doctor described it to me. I wouldn't wish Dementia/Alzheimer's on my worst enemy. As the patient's brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are. Patients can eventually become bedridden, unab...
