There was nothing they could do to dim the supernovae exploding inside my brain, an endless chain of incranial firecrackers that made me think that I was once and for all going, and I told myself – as I’ve told myself before – that the body shuts down when the pain gets too bad, that consciousness is temporary, that this will pass. But just like always, I didn’t slip away. I was left on the shore with the waves washing over me, unable to drown.
