Paul Amadeus Dienach was one of the most respected physicist professors in 1921. Students clamored to be in his class, and his colleagues held him in high esteem. His life was nearly perfect.

Except, he struggled with an illness. He was diagnosed with encephalitis lethargica, a disease that can cause delayed physical and vocal responses. It caused him great consternation. But he continued to move forward.

His career centered around academia, something that he was passionate about. When he wrote, it was centered around a theory or a breakthrough in his field. There were no hopes of being a fiction writer.

As he taught class one day, he started to feel sick. His speech slurred. Students worried about him as his condition deteriorated. After he finished, he went to see a doctor.

His condition did not improve. The next day, he went about teaching his class and conducting the research that was so important to him. His body felt tired, and his speech was slower than normal. Those around him were concerned but understood how the disease worked. They did the best they could to help make things easier on him.
