Death. Many words and sensations come to mind in describing your current condition this Tuesday morning in December but this one sums them all up. It’s 8 a.m., you find yourself in the same place you were at 8 p.m., sitting on the toilet, with a roll of toilet paper in one hand and a bucket in the other, while fluids run from every orifice as if you are a faucet with its knob left on.
