About the author

I’m a writer with multiple personality tendencies. Tendencies, not disorder, because my psychiatrist needed more time to confirm it—and her time was too expensive for me to afford any further at the time. But a psychologist friend diagnosed me back in college using my penmanship, and a graphologist colleague confirmed it with an assessment of my signature.

You might know me as Sam, Al, Alchris, Earen, Mata, or might have known me as two of the seven I have silenced: Chris and Christof. I have seven names. I react and act and project differently to each one. Whichever names you know me, remember that I am the person you’ve first met. Or at least try to be.
