Overheard Starbuck

"As the pain increased and his movement was further restricted he took it out on his tools, the furniture and the other inanimate everyday things that conspired to add to his misery. He was frightened. Frightened that it would only get worse; frightened at the way he was behaving--how easily he went from man to monster.
If there were animals or people around --underfoot-- would he take it out on them too? Could 'that guy' really be so near at hand?"
