“Clear your mind of badness,’ advised Brother Terry. ‘It’ll help with the physical pain. Physical pain is an illusion, did you know that? The brain tells the shoulder to be sore but the shoulder itself isn’t really sore.’ I wanted to tell Brother Terry that maybe I should break his nose and then see whether or not the pain felt like an illusion or not, but I couldn’t. I sprawled on the ground and sighed and winced and felt my blood as it was forced through the screaming joint.”
