Ever heard of the nursery rhyme, 'A-Tisket a -Tasket'? I haven't. Not until I met him. Tisket was the name he always introduced himself as. At the time, when anyone asked why 'Tisket', he would give you this look of amusement or boredom and tell you to simply, "Look it up." It made no sense, but then again neither did he. Of course, we could have looked up his picture in one of his old school yearbooks, or simply asked his parents but the mystery was fun. I mean, not many people used a nursery…

Jackson Reynolds had not always been a bad man, but after some considerable personal effort he most certainly had become one. Jackson was an imposing figure standing six feet two inches tall, topped with coal black straight rather slightly too long hair. His skin seemed perpetually tan and gave him somewhat of a Mediterranean look with his ice blue eyes. The kind of eyes that you couldn’t help but stare into, but the kind of eyes that sent a chill up your spine if you looked too long. This…

Isolation, by prohibiting the development of an individual’s perception of reality, harms one’s ability to mediate emotions and distorts their view of rationality. The main disadvantage of isolation: the loss of expression with society. Interaction with others creates a sense of belonging, intimacy and support for an individual.
