Sphinx Chronicle

? anand bose Sphinx Chronicle

"Art in the blood is likely to take the strangest form." Conan Doyle,
Greek interpreter.

It was reported on the day of 13/04/1991 in the Guardian that Mark
Hegel an English translator of academic repute was cruelly knifed to
death by a psychiatrist, Mann Byron who in his involvement with the
existential motifs of literature and its coercive status in guiding
consensus catharsis became possessed with multiple of identities of
William Shakespeare, Francis Bacon, and Christopher Marlow. The English
translator had become an overnight celebrity by his prophetic claims
almost finding the true identity of William Shakespeare. All the case
studies of the Psychiatrist were entered in multiple folders by night
in the personal comfort of his private dwelling and each entry went
into a different folder, which by quirk had the names of William
Shakespeare, Christopher Marlow and Francis Bacon. Strange to say the
English translator had similar folders of academic research, now empty
due to them being transferred elsewhere. The English translator's
screen saver was loaded with an icon of a grinning gnome scrolling:
Etu-Brute. The hospital authorities are tight-lipped about the hundreds
of diagnosis that the psychiatrist has made in his professional
capacity. Police have also uncovered a strange obelisk from the
personal drawers of this psychiatrist which was handmade and had all
the elements of form as consistent with the Neolithic age and carried
an inscription: The verse of Dr Faust isn't authorial!
