Fiery thorn in her — um — brain?
I was talking to someone today who had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. She seemed lucid, and then:
“I read one site,” she said, “that explained that in nineteen — well, in fifteen-whatever — when God destroyed the world with fire? — that he took the disease and put it in people so they would not forget. And I asked, ‘What did I do so that the Dear Lord would make me suffer like this?!’”
Me: [blink. blink. blink.]
“Don’t go on the computer,” she implored. “That shit will jack your mind. For real.”
Me, internally: Oh, OK. Let’s go with that.
