Well, I believe perhaps as many as 3...Two being fictional characters...and one being the author of said fictional characters... Martin Chuzzlewits and Tom Pincher representing the fictional, and the master author of said fictional characters, Charles Dickens being the possible 3rd. However, Dickens had long passed on to his Christmas Future when the name Alzheimer's became known to the medical world as in 1906 when German psychiatrist and pathologist Alois Alzheimer had spent a career dedicated to this dreaded, graduated form of dementia, he was honored for his yeoman's work by having his name officially attached to the disorder that we refer to today as Alzheimer's Disease. Doug, I enjoyed the creativity behind this brief yet most interesting and curiosity eliciting write, which blends free-verse and prosaic verse into a smooth poetic confluence ~FjR~.
