Risking his own life force to cure a patient's psychosis, Dr. Robert Bruno learns the true, and dangerous, individualism of the human mind.

Henry Kuttner's 1947 story sets its psi-powered tale in a never-quiet sanitarium where cyclic madness swings like a merry-go-round. Tense, thoughtful golden-age SF. Read it for a gripping story about a doctor who reaches into another's broken mind, and pays a price for what he finds there.
