MR. FOTHERGILL'S DISEASE

"Oh yum yum yum!"
slurrpedΒ Β THE PAIN

...eating my life.

"Munchmunchmunch!"
it had already eaten its way

through half MY PAST.

"A tasty titbit!"
as it put it.

It was chomping on
MY PRESENT at the moment

gnawing me down to
the bone.

"Leaving the marrow for tomorrow!"
it muttered.

Licked its chops.

Stories & time &
bits of my mind

drooling greasily from
its lips.

"MmmmmmmmMmmmmmmmm!"
it mmmmmmmm'd/

"Now, wot's for dessert...eh?"

"Oh goody goody gum drums...
. . . a FUTURE!"

THE PAIN snorted
"I loves FUTRES best!"

I stood there
without a word

to come and
rescue

me
screaming noisily

as THE PAIN

ate

me all

up.

The trials and tribulations of Trigeminal Neuralgia otherwise known as Suicide's Disease....pain at its most intense and immense!. The bane of my existence!
