The Mouthpiece of Zitu

Dr. Murray, the new medical director of a state asylum, begins his first examination with a routine check of a gaunt, dying patient. The man's eyes, however, spark an uncanny recognition, and he soon declares himself to be the long‑dead explorer Jason Croft, who vanished on a distant world orbiting Sirius. Murray’s professional skepticism is challenged as the patient offers a cryptic tale of soul transfer, interstellar adventure, and a promise of reunion beyond Earth.

The story unfolds in a tense, claustrophobic ward while weaving flashes of otherworldly wonder, pulling the listener between the stark realities of a 20th‑century hospital and the speculative possibilities of life on a far‑off planet. As Murray wrestles with his duty to a seemingly deranged mind and the tantalizing evidence of a cosmic mystery, the narrative balances scientific curiosity with a hint of occult intrigue. Listeners are invited to join a mind‑bending investigation that asks whether identity can survive beyond the flesh.
