"It keeps coming back. It won't stop. It's going to be horrible at the end of this month.
It's like a leech in your brain. You happen upon something you thought you had buried long ago and all of a sudden it's like the shingles- a pestilence that has been dormant in your depths for a long time but strikes back with fury, tearing up your insides with its venomous claws.
And you pace back and forth in the room wandering how this is possibly happening all over again, pausing and reflecting on the incidents of last week and their connection to what happened last year. You try to shove it back down into the ether from which it sprang and yet it leeches to you. Before you know it, your soul burns with indignation as you rise from your place in the endless grid and start a fire. Despite your visibility, they don't see you, for you are just a piece of empty canvas, atop which a masterpiece was painted with invisible oil.
You once resided in an exhibit, not different from Exhibit 13, but it was erased. It went up in flames and you made it out alive. You had no choice but to become like Frankenstein and live somewhere in the desolate wasteland, watching everyone else. No one but the one who created you will come looking for you. Even then, you might just destroy everything with your hideous appendages. Just like yesterday, you get up in time to get to work and complete the day; but you sit turning a wheel indefinitely, watching the hours rot on and your bones get sapped of their strength.
The dormant has become dominant once again. Even if it's for an hour or two, that dormant splinter will drive you to atrocities until you burn to ashes...
...or fall asleep...and await its reawakening."
