when a dog has eaten strychnine and is going to die, you must get an axe and carry him to a chopping block. Then you wait for the next convulsion, and in that moment chop of his tail. if the poison has not gone too far, your dog will recover. the shock of pain contracts poison without the shock he will surely die.

John steinbeck, east of eden

Something, an extreme dark force, a trauma, a swirl, a dull pain reeling through the core of the body.
Terror and pain as a sharp prick
things taken without reason
inflictions
and yet, this mixes, at times, merges
silken surfaces push against it, with a joy which is possible only when one has this horror, like a weight which.one must both escape and carry.
