The things we do

"Before I could get it together enough to form a sentence, or even to just yell a simple "no," she patted the gauze down and ripped it off. The pain was sort of insane. It felt like my soul was torn from my body. And you know, when you get your soul torn from your body, you don't really want it exiting through your asshole."

I actually laughed out aloud reading this. At the same time, I was overwhelmed with empathy having experienced the similar trauma situation a few years ago.
