I found Sullivan's "Feet in Smoke" to be a representation of the challenges in life and the difficulties we have in communication amongst ourselves as seen in the difficulties that Worth receives and overcomes in his post microphone shock experience. Sullivan uses humor and the ending with a positive tale of full recovery to have the reader focus on Worth's condition without openly revealing the deep and painful struggle he faces. My favorite parts of this are the episode Worth has where he comes to life on the bed, only to fall back to the embrace of unconsciousness but not before John sees the eyes of madman. Also, I physically started laughing as Sullivan narrated that antics of Worth in the hospital after he rejoins the land of the living.
For this story I had no storyline comprehension issues, the only minor point I had an issue with involved the medical terminology, specifically "asystole", and a little outside reading was required.
