Synopsis
In 'The Earth Is Made of Glass,' Dr. West, a dedicated physician, finds himself embroiled in a perplexing case when he receives a journal from Richard Steele, a patient who has just passed away in the hospital. Steele, a man tormented by his own mind, believes he has committed a murder, and his journal serves as a window into his troubled psyche. As Dr. West reads through the entries, he learns about Steele's delusions and his obsession with the concept of a 'laboratory murder'—a theoretical crime devoid of emotional connection.
