Grace and Mercy is a story which both personifies and exemplifies exactly what the word insanity means--an act or action of continuously repeating a nonproductive action over and over, again and again, expecting a productive result or outcome. As our story opens, we discover a young male child in the early stage of adolescence who succumbs to peer pressure and starts to experiment with mind- and mood-altering substances. As his story progresses, he does too throughout the varying stages of adolescence. He graduates high school and soon afterward volunteers into the military. After serving three years in active duty, he receives an honorable discharge. Back at home, however, he becomes unsure of himself as he experiences the responsibility of trying to hold down a job. He has readjustment issues as he transitions back into civilian life. While struggling to cope, he also questions his identity; was he still that teenager or an adult returning home? In his quest to find the answer, he turns to alcohol. But as matters start worsening, like missing work, always short on cash and low on gas, instead of recognizing alcohol as the problem and not the solution, he continuously drinks over and over, repeatedly getting intoxicated and still expecting a new and different result or outcome. What happens next? Be informed, and read the story!
