Body & Mind

Description

A brazen assailant targeting one side of the skull. Blood vessels expand and contract at will, while nerves set off a firework display like an unwelcome festival. Pain enlists light and sound as allies to turn the mundane into a merciless celebration. Painkillers offer relief as reliable as prayers. It delivers a dual torment known only to survivors and amused bystanders offering hollow sympathy.
