Description
Cyrus is born into a comfort, only none of that comfort seems to transpire onto him internally. He grows up as a fully psychotic and anti-social creature. He quickly discovers his very average mental capacity, that, according to him, was an injustice. He enjoys intermittent career success, but he fails to establish any kind of human connection with anyone or anything that crosses his path. He spends the few decades of his adult life pursuing a vengeance against everyone who is better than him in one or another way. His final days are an epitome of him being a chastiser and a chastised man he had always been.

Excerpt: The Unusual Lives: A Chastised (by (author) Lana Guzman; photographs by Edgar Guzman)
Cyrus was born into what seemed to be a regular family. He had both parents and four grandparents. He was always provided for, both financially and in terms of his parents' time and attention directed to him. Only, none of that was ever enough for Cyrus. He felt nervous probably from his very first breath. It was never clear why, although his mother did drink a lot of coffee throughout her pregnancy. Whether it really was coffee or it was something entirely different, Cyrus felt out of place even when before he became a toddler. There probably was a good reason for that.
