like huffing gas out in the dried-up meadow grass, under stars that shine like glass in the sun

1, 2 and 3 happen so fast that they don't even register.

4, 5 here comes that old familiar twang as your feelings manage to catch up to your actions. it's like visiting an old friend almost in a way; there is a comfort in going back to what you know - like the streets where you grew up. like remembering your first kiss, or the first time you bought beer and got away with it.

6 is a slow one. you flinch at first, there's that piercing twang again, but as you slowly move across that feeling receeds and all that replaces it is a chilly numbness that has an edge of tingling. as if you've been sat in a funny position for too long.

7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are fast again. and yet again there is a delay between what you do and what you feel. perhaps its the adrenalin. quite a nice design going here. short parrallel lines. it'd be good to break that up a bit, but at the same time it's a shame to spoil something so perfectly arranged.

destructive behaviour can be creative.

13, 14, 15 and 16 are slower. the anger has worn away for now, but it's unfair to say these are half-hearted. they are just as valid as the rest.

there's a sharp pang as the water touches. it's not especially warm but it feels as if it's boiling. it's not totally unbearable but it does require clenched teeth for the first few seconds.

after that there's just the cold, dull ache that feels as if it's carved deep down in your bones.
