The Italian led Loid on for over a year
The Italian led Loid on for over a year
visiting him 3 times in Los Angeles after leaving Italy. For the last trip the Italian suggested that they get an apartment together for 3 months in Hollywood. They both knew this would mean Loid would leave his oldest friend's house forever and effectively making him leave what had been his home for the past year. For more than a year Loid had been seeing a psychologist and began taking medication for anxiety. He thought he had fixed that part of him that was broken those last years in Italy. He thought for a moment that this could be a new beginning for both of them.

While staying together in a small sublet apartment in Hollywood for 3 months in the winter of 2010, the IRS caught up with Loid. He had not paid income taxes since loosing his mind in Amsterdam. Loid did not stop paying income tax on purpose. After overdosing in Amsterdam 6 years earlier causing his extreme first psychedelic experience everything about his life became complete disconnected from from reality and he simply forgot about this most basic requirement that everyone knows they must do in order to avoid the inevitable painful consequence of not paying your taxes.

It was over a year since being back in Los Angeles, and while staying in a 3 month sublet apartment in hollywood with the Italian, the wife of Albert Einstein called Loid in disbelief to confirm and ask is if this was true. Only then did he remember and realize that for years he had made this unintentional but very serious mistake. His boss was unable to pay Loid until the government decided what to do with him. To the Italian this was confirmation that Loid's job wasn't real nor was he a real man. Loid had no money and nowhere to go because this was also when his Italian boyfriend told him in front of his psychologist that he never had any intention of continuing their relationship by returning home to Italy together.

The Italian did not visit Loid over the past year to make a choice about their future together but to confirm and understand a choice he had made before Loid had left Italy over a year earlier. Loid did not understand that he had already lost everything and broke his relationship beyond repair during those last years as an illegal alien paralyzed with paranoia and consumed by fear of being deported.

Loid lived his life in Italy irrationally all those years and it was only at the the moment he had everything he wanted and was under constant threat of being deported did he realize had he had not made any plan to insure this perfect life would be sustainable.

When the Italian realized what he had done had made Loid homeless he rented a car and drove Loid east towards The Desert Wasteland.

This was Loid's only option because his mother had relocated there a few months after Loid found his father dead of a heart attack at 42 years old when Loid was 17 years old. That choice to stay in Los Angeles to start college directly led to Loid's first relationship that abruptly ended when his first boyfriend, the actor from Argentina, was deported for the mistake of not considering the consequences of being careless about making sure that what is important needs to be legal and sustainable.

After assuring himself that Loid wouldn't be homeless the Italian guy drove back to Los Angeles and got on a plane. The Italian went back to Italy.... back to Loid's home on the 24th floor of the skyscraper of Rimini... back to Loid's cat... and back to all of Loid's friends. This was everything that Loid would never see again.

when more than a week passed where Loid was unable to sleep. All year he was continuously haunted by visions of a vast global conspiracy involving the 11 year cycle of the Sun and time travel that the rich and powerful have always used to their advantage.

After weeks in a psychotic state and after so many days and nights awake he was experiencing frighting hallucinations that eventually led to complete psychosis. All day people, grotesque and distorted, continually entered his apartment. They would crawl in through the bathroom and kitchen windows and though the balcony and front doors. Just as they were about to attack he would close his eyes and the whole scene would reset. He was alone sitting cross legged in the hallway at the center of the apartment between two door mirrors creating the effect of apparent infinite regress to the left and right of him. Then after a few moments everything would begin again and the apparent invasion of these apparitions would repeat over and over again all day until evening.

Loid thought what was happening couldn't be real so it must be a dream. In front of Loid's boyfriend, who had just arrived home from work, he sliced open his own hand with a sharp piece of a broken wine glass. Blood dripped from his palm's open wounds onto the kitchen floor. He was hoping the self inflicted pain would wake himself up. Instead, reality continued to disintegrate around him until he ran outside naked and screaming. In the dark empty courtyard of his apartment complex Loid's paranoid fears and delusions became visible forms closing in on him. Within moments, 6 real police officers jumped Loid and pined him to the ground to restrain him. The intense visions of this waking nightmare continued as they took him away by ambulance to an emergency room for hours before being transferred to a mental hospital where he stayed for more than a week.
