Read Short Fiction by Vsevolod Garshin. Following a shell-shocked soldier's descent into madness in a psychiatric ward, Garshin's haunting tale blurs the line between sanity and delusion while questioning who's truly "mad" - the traumatized patient or the war-hungry society that broke him. Written by a veteran who later died by suicide, this raw exploration of PTSD was decades ahead of its time.
