Before I had my first root canal, a filling had fallen out and the hole just got deeper. If I bit down on a chunk of food on that tooth, white-hot pain would explode, as if someone had set off a magnesium flare inside my cerebellum. You don't forget that. When I got the root canal, I smiled through the whole procedure, thinking about how much better it was than the vulnerability of an exposed root.
it feels like an electromagnetic pulse explosion crossed with the death of God.

I was fooled/fascinated by the "burning" in the ad's title and "water" in the text. Why bring water? To douse the burning steer? wtf? And screaming to bring someone out? Of what, unconsciousness? But finally, I deciphered the meaning. But still, as you say, there are no specifics.

No, there's a problem, Ink Tea.
The page shows no image, just a link labeled 'cia.jpg'.
When I click on the link, sf0.org responds with the following message:
The image "http://art.sf0.org/media/InkTea/21_InkTea1695.jpg" cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
I think you need to check the image, and upload it again.
That's not so strange. Whiskey is usually aged in wood, and often takes on a distinctly woody flavor.
