Chaz stared at the hospital ceiling, trying to hold back the desire to count the tiny dots or the "beeps" in the background. Instead he concentrated on breathing. It was a good thing to concentrate on, Corey told him. Well, Joel told him that, too, but since Corey was his therapist, he listened to him more. That was probably a bad thought process.

MR. MERRILL: Yes.

MR. DOUGLAS: He would sign autographs?

MR. MERRILL: Yes.

MR. DOUGLAS: He would sign auto--would he sign autographs by holding something in his hand?
