Nightmare Interrupt Map?
EXAMPLE: FOR INSTRUCTION ONLY
The market crashed days before
and my body was going with it.
To this very day, "Spoonman" reminds
me of the fact I was addicted, and I didn't
need a spoon or anything illegal to fuel it.
My stomach looked like I had a huge balloon
under my shirt ready to burst. I was a graphic artist,
THE DREAM SOLUTION
and my mental state reminded me of another artist:
Vincent Van Gogh. I hoped Steve didn't have a knife Instant, easy, works like magic, snap my
in the car. (Van Gogh cut off his own ear.) fingers, flexible, fun, look like Brad Pitt
