Complex Criminologies: Of The Two

Planning:



This is a fictional story about two men in a mental asylum who, despite their incredibly different walks of life and physical

differences, suffer from the exact same diagnosis - 'Paranoid Schizophrenia'.



The two men are both known as 'Ronald' - the younger man of 21 simply known as 'Ron McCastle'; the older man known as 'Ronnie

O' Brien', aged 67.



The two men, despite their REAL differences, both think and act and behave like clowns from a computer game.

Indeed, their similarities are uncanny and typical of 'nerds/geeks', as the modern generation would have the media believe.



Despite the gargantuan friendship both Ronnies ascertain almost immediately, the older man can see the real pain and suffering

that the 21 year old will never be able to acknowledge, because despite the similarities, both men KEEP SECRETS from the law.



Mr O' Brien had a successful career thanks to his sense of humor and adequate healthcare, and a healthy, loving, loyal family to

maintain his legacy for him.



Mr McCastle, on the other hand, has never ventured further than the end of the hospital cafeteria on his own, and as such becomes

dependent on Mr O' Brien's sympathies and advice. He is, however, an 'Internet Celebrity', and earned more per week on his benefits

than Mr O' Brien ever did.



The doctors investigate this and are appalled by the reality of the situation and legal implications, and Mr O' Brien becomes enraged by this, and tries to kill Ron McCastle and his legacy with him, but is restrained by the doctors.



The other asylum patients and porters become humbled by this, and promise to help and support both men (if nobody else) because of their

amazing dynamic with each other. Ronnie is then secretly given access to the Nursing Staff's computer to contact his family and friends to

give the asylum £88'000'000 to pay for better healthcare for everyone and for his newfound friend.



... but little does Ronnie know, that unlike most old men, young Ron retains his information with his new friend's help and loyal

health advice/compassionate assistance/kindness.



Upon learning this, Ronnie becomes an even better, more-humbled, honest man, and urges everyone in the asylum to

'be more like him to succeed'. But because of his age and real diagnosis and misplaced trust in the health services and 'friends', he literally forgetsa about his own skeletons in the cupboard and the FBI become involved.



But time runs out, as both Ronnies learn, the hard way, that NOBODY can be trusted in life - the FBI uses the money to create doppelgangers of the

the Ronnies to learn the truth about the asylum and its dark past while the two REAL men escape and are on the run...



Its a dog-eat-dog world, but can the two friends trick destiny...?
