“Imagine someone reaching straight into your chest, past the bones and blood and guts, and taking a nice firm hold on your spinal cord. Now imagine that they start shaking you so fast, the world starts bulging and buckling under you.

Imagine the guilt of knowing you saw someone's deepest, darkest fear or secret...”

(“No longer in the middle?”)”
