Last night I dreamed there was something wrong with me. I was frightened, but my doctors were there to reassure me. “We’re here to help,” they said. “Just a few little cuts,” they said.

“Just a few little cuts and everything will be fine.”

Backdrop: a detail from Hell’s Wargate, a painting by Wayne Barlowe. Found in The Alien Life of Wayne Barlowe.
