“Pain is the beast who sits on my belly. He is like a fat gar-goyle, Sendak style, but with a bit of mal- ice. He won’t go away. I’m lying on my back, this big hunk of a creature sitting on top of me (he’ has a- knife.) I try to talk to him– Hey, move over– I need to reach my notebook–need to write. He pretends he doesn’t hear, looks vacantly the other way, and his stubby hand doodles with the blade.”
