Midway through his first class back at college for semester two, Jughead found himself completely unable to concentrate on his professor.
Instead, his computer’s cursor strayed away from the poem he’d downloaded as he grit his teeth and opened up Google. He typed into the search engine: Can you hallucinate seven months after a concussion? And waited for the instant flow of information.
