dc.description.abstract	This thesis fuses autobiography with fiction, which is known in the literary genres as Auto-fiction, Hyper-Realism, or Image-Fiction. It documents the heroin overdose of the author’s brother, aged 27, who fought in the Afghanistan and the Iraq Wars with the USMC from 2001 to 2004. It attempts to emphasize with and enact the final moments of his life, and his influence on the author's life, offering mental-health professionals and parents of drug addicts and soldiers a glimpse into the PTSD and its less common effects.
