What happens to ed at the end of my present age

Unable to convince his ex-wife to return to him, he spies on her and attempts to track her down. Unable to activate his own frequently inert will, he is liberal in judging others. Considered by some as being "terminally narcissistic," he is actually helplessly dependent on the sympathy of others, and would like to use his ex-wife as a psychological crutch.

Reduced by his own paranoia into being a grotesque victim, he bids goodbye to his world of enemies, ex-lovers, and former friends, in the hope of embracing a simpler life.
