    About this ebook

    “And everybody wants to get high!”

    Gilbert is a loser. He suffers for low self-esteem, high blood pressure, and inoperable social invisibility disorder. Doctor Mallet, Gilbert's psychiatrist, offers a different diagnosis: Why take responsibility for life's problems when you can blame everyone else instead.

    "A Prescription for Guns" is a short humor piece combining satire with commentary on a social propensity for violence.
