$ISSECTIONS EVEN FOR MEDICAL TEXTS ) SUPPOSE THE STUDENTS NEVER THINK ABOUT WHERE
THE DRAWINGS COME FROM AND OTHER PEOPLE WOULD BE HORRIlED IF THEY THOUGHT ABOUT IT
THE NICE CLEAN BLACK AND WHITE AS RED AND BLUE AND PURPLE AND THE SMELL BUT )
LIKED IT ) WAS COMFORTABLE IN MY OFlCE OR OTHER PEOPLES LABS OBSERVING TRANSLATING
COLOR TEXTURE LIGHT AND SHADOW INTO SHADES OF BLACK ON WHITE -OST PEOPLE DONT
OFTEN SEE WHATS REALLY THERE YOU KNOW OR RATHER THEY SEE IT BUT THEIR BRAINS EDIT
THE INFORMATION lLLING IN ANY GAPS WITH WHAT EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THEM IN THE PAST
) THINK THAT IF THEY SEE SOMETHING TRULY STRANGE COMPLETELY BEYOND THEIR EXPERIENCE
THEIR BRAINS EDIT THAT TOO SUBSTITUTING SOMETHING THAT MAKES MORE SENSE IN THE WORLD
THEY KNOW )M AN ARTIST A TRAINED ILLUSTRATOR -Y BRAIN DOESNT DO THAT ) SEE WHATS
REALLY THERE

TO INK THE LAST DRAWING "Y THE TIME )D lNISHED ALL ) COULD SMELL WAS lSH AND FORMALIN
SO ) DECIDED TO WALK HOME THE LONG WAY THROUGH THE PARK TO GET SOME FRESH AIR OR )D
HAVE TO SKIP DINNER 4HE SUN WAS SINKING INTO THE LAKE AND FAMILIES WERE PACKING UP
THEIR PICNICS TO GO HOME WHEN ) REACHED THE PARK PARENTS CLOSING THE COOLERS AND KIDS
DRAGGING THEIR BASEBALL BATS BACK TO THE CARS )T WAS WONDERFUL 4HE GRASS WAS GREEN
THE POPLARS WERE EVERY SHADE OF YELLOW GOLD AND BRONZE IN THE LOW SUN AND THE SHARP
SMELL OF THEIR LEAVES mUSHED THE FORMALIN OUT OF MY SINUSES ) SLOWED MY PACE AS ) CAME
TO THE EDGE OF THE PARK ADMIRING THE COLORS ! YOUNG COUPLE WAS WALKING ALONG THE EDGE
OF THE TREES HOLDING HANDS (E SAID SOMETHING SHE TURNED AND KISSED HIM LAUGHING !S
) WATCHED TWO DOGS BOUNDED UP LOOKED LIKE THOSE BLACK ONES LABS THAT SEEM TO LAUGH
AT PEOPLE 4HE DOGS JUST STOOD TAILS WAGGING LOOKING EXPECTANT AND AFTER A MOMENT
THE GUY SHRUGGED PICKED UP A STICK AND THREW IT )T mEW THROUGH THE AIR BEHIND ME AND
THE DOGS BARKED HAPPILY AND TOOK OFF AFTER IT 4HEY RAN PAST ME GRINNING MOUTHS FULL
OF TEETH ,OTS OF TEETH GLEAMING WHITE AGAINST mOPPY PINK TONGUES 4HE COUPLE TURNED
AND WALKED OFF HER HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER 4HE DOGS RAN PAST THE STICK AROUND IT AND
BACK TOWARDS THE COUPLE DISAPPEARING INTO THE TREES /NE OF THEM RAN A LITTLE CLOSER
THIS TIME ITS HEAD SWIVELLING UP TO LOOK AT ME AS IT WENT PAST ) TOO WALKED AWAY
-Y LEGS KEPT MOVING AS MY BRAIN WRESTLED WITH WHAT MY EYES HAD SEEN TEETH TOO MANY
TEETH ) CARRIED ON WALKING LISTENING TO THE HIGH DISTANT SCREAMS OF THE GULLS OVER THE
LAKE WATCHING MEMORY RATHER THAN THE CRACKS IN THE SIDEWALK 4HEIR LAUGHING MOUTHS
WERE TOO BIG THE SHARPLY SERRATED TEETH TOO BIG AND THE CLAWS ON THEIR HIND FEET
HAD LEFT GASHES IN THE GREEN TURF 4HAT COULDNT BE RIGHT ) DIDNT SEE THEM ) MUST
HAVE IMAGINED IT $O YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT )M TELLING YOU $O YOU ) DIDNT BELIEVE
MY EYES ) $ID .OT "ELIEVE -Y %YES ) KEPT WALKING ALL THE WAY HOME
/N THE NEWS THAT EVENING THEY REPORTED A HORRIlC MURDER ! YOUNG WOMAN HAD BEEN
RIPPED TO PIECES BY A FRENZIED ATTACKER IN THE LAKESIDE TREES 4HERE WERE SHOTS OF
BLUE mASHING LIGHTS AND BLOOD RED AGAINST GOLD LEAVES BUT IT WAS ALRIGHT THEYD
CAUGHT THE MURDERER (ER BOYFRIEND HADNT LEFT THE SCENE WAS FOUND SEMICOMATOSE
DRUGGED OUT OF HIS MIND 4HEY SHOWED HIM BEING BUNDLED AWAY AND THE REPORTERS TALKED
WISELY ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES %XCEPT HE
THEYD
BEEN lNE WHEN
) SAW THEM ABOUT MINUTES BEFORE SHE DIED RED AND GOLD IN THE SETTING SUN
4HE POLICE CALLED FOR WITNESSES ) TOLD THEM ABOUT THE DOGS BUT THEY DIDNT BELIEVE
ME 4HEY KNEW )D BEEN DRINKING THEY COULD SMELL IT ON MY BREATH
) TOOK 7EDNESDAY OFF WHEN THE PARK OPENED AGAIN WALKED THERE ALL DAY AND SAW
NOTHING BUT TREES AND LEAVES AND GRASS AND SILENT GULLS )T WAS COLDER WHEN ) WENT
THE NEXT 3ATURDAY ) SAT ON A BENCH FEEDING THE GULLS AND WATCHING THE SHADOWS
UNDER THE TREES ) CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF MOVEMENT SOMETHING BLACK BUT IT WAS ONLY A
JOGGER RUNNING THE PATHS $ID SOMETHING MOVE UNDER THE TREES ) COULDNT BE CERTAIN
) DIDNT TRUST MY EYES YOU SEE
4HAT NIGHT ) WENT INTO TOWN AND TRIED TO GET DRUNK BUT ) DRANK TOO MUCH AND WAS
SICK AND SPENT THE NIGHT WALKING INSTEAD !ND WHILE ) WAS WALKING TRYING NOT TO
THINK ) SAW SOMETHING ELSE AND THIS TIME ) BELIEVED MY EYES AND THAT IS HOW IT
STARTED

VERY TIRED OF BEING AFRAID OF WONDERING WHEN )LL MAKE THE MISTAKE THAT KILLS ME
4HEYRE CUNNING THEYRE VERY GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO AND ) MIGHT HAVE MISSED ONE NOT
SEEN IT 2EAD THE lLES )VE SENT 4HERE ARE OTHER COPIES )VE SENT THEM TO OTHER
PEOPLE ) THOUGHT ) HOPED MIGHT BE INTERESTED BUT 9/5 MIGHT BE THE ONLY PERSON WHO
SEES REALITY INSTEAD OF SOMETHING YOUR BRAIN THINKS MAKES MORE SENSE 4HERE MUST BE
SOMEONE ELSE WHO WILL BELIEVE THEIR EYES
9OURS MOST SINCERELY
03 )TS INTERESTED ME FOR YEARS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PEN AND INK ON PAPER
AND THE BONE ON THE TABLE THE WORDS ON THE PAGES AND THE IDEAS THE WORDS CONVEY
2EALITY AND WHAT WE PERCEIVE IT TO BE 4HERES A lNELY HONED DISTINCTION BETWEEN
PERCEPTION AND MADNESS ITS A RAZORS EDGE )VE BEEN WALKING FOR YEARS AND )M
BLEEDING
&OR A WHILE ) WONDERED IF ) WAS GOING MAD SO ) WATCHED THE MAD AND THE DRUNKS
4HEY CRINGE AND WEEP AT THINGS DRAWN FROM THEIR PAST THAT EXIST ONLY IN THEIR MINDS
(ARVEY LEFT NO PILES OF DUNG NO FOOTPRINTS IN THE GRASS 4HE THINGS ) SEE LEAVE
BLOODY CORPSES RIPPED LIMB FROM LIMB THE STENCH OF DEAD MEAT SEEPING OUT BENEATH A
LOCKED DOOR FRAGMENTS OF LIVES LIKE PIECES OF A JIGSAW TO BE ASSEMBLED FROM REPORTS
IN THE PRESS 4HEY ARE REAL FAR MORE REAL NOW THAN THE PEOPLE THEYVE DESTROYED
