. I'll see you on the dark side of the moon .

Harrison is a man plagued by a world of his own creation. But it's okay, he knows everybody there, and they know him. Just don't be surprised if his words don't quite make sense, if he talks to someone you can't see. Don't worry. He's harmless. Mostly.

Generally, he's an upbeat kind of guy. He's the kind of guy you run into one day who, while being completely goofy to the point of perceived idiocy, nevertheless manages to put a smile on your face, be it through mimicry of characters from popular culture, puns, physical comedy, or a reference to one of the hundreds of delusions he may have going at any time. He also has a strong sense of chivalry and a desire to do the right thing, to help others, even at his own expense.


That's not to say he doesn't have his moments. He generally tends to at least try to see the best in everyone and everything, but it doesn't always work out that way. He's quick to trust, but once you've betrayed it it's a long time returning.

So welcome to the nuthouse, population 2. Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times, and hang on to your hats, it should be quite an experience. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Note: I own neither the character of Murdock nor Sharlto Copley, although Harrison is my own interpretation. I'm merely borrowing them with every intention of putting them back where I found them....eventually.

. If the dam breaks open many years too soon, and if there is no room upon the hill.

What if every book you ever read, movie you ever watched, story you ever heard, was real? What if Sherlock Holmes really did solve crimes, Cinderella really did lose a glass slipper (so to speak), Indiana Jones really did travel the world in search of ancient treasures that needed protection from a greedy, selfish world?

Meet Harrison MacKenzie, the inspiration for "Howlin' Mad" Murdock of the A-Team. A former pilot (although not for the army, sadly, he never felt the need to join up), from childhood he always felt a draw to the sky, to the point where he often thought he'd been born the wrong species; birds had it better, they could soar. They were free, more free than anything that walked on the ground. From that day on, he vowed he'd follow. And follow he did.

.And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too.

Of course, tragedy struck, as it so often does, in the form of a plane crash, a few broken bones, and a broken body that wasn't his own. The aftermath left him broken in another way, and locked away with doctors and other people like him in an attempt to "fix" him. Ten years passed. He may not be fixed, but at least he's not quite so broken anymore. ...Crazy, yes. The voices in his head are pretty solid evidence for that. But broken, no.

He still wants to fly. When he was institutionalized they took his license, which was really only one more thing to add to an already bad situation. Clipping the wings of an injured bird rarely helps if it might have been able to recover, after all. Being grounded for so long left him restless and anxious, which led to numerous escape attempts, most of which were foiled and only ended in what were not-so-affectionately known as "time outs". Little more than bullies locking the weaker kids in lockers, or keeping an animal in a too-small cage, as far as he was concerned. So he kept trying, and one day he managed it. Ran as far as he could, so far he ended up an entire world over, amongst Humanity, in fact.

That was six months ago.
