Introduction	Jim Bay wrote his first short story, Jim Fled the Cuckoo’s Nest while a patient in a psychiatric hospital following a mental breakdown. Before being sectioned under the Mental Health Act, he was a film and video artist of some repute. Jim now spends his time writing prose, producing book works and creating a din with his indie-noise outfit The Short Stories. Occasionally accompanying Jim at readings, the line up is always in flux and de-tuned. Jim plays a guitar with a string or two missing.
