CHAPTER 4: ACHE

CHAPTER TYPE: SYMPTOM

"My arms, my legs, my chest...my entire body is aching. It's in a constant stage of pain, never getting a relief from it. Sometimes my limbs start shaking and convulsing too, so badly that I am rendered powerless and immobile. There is nothing I can do to stop the shaking, the pain slicing through my muscle tissue – I am forced to live with it every single day, twenty-four hours a day. Why does my body also need to hurt this much? Isn't it enough that my heart and soul are suffering all the time? How is it fair that I have to endure all of this misery, just because of what happened to the Kid? My life is a punishment for me for allowing such atrocities to ruin myself. Shame on me."
