SURGICALLY REMOVED.

LIKE A PIECE OF MY BODY BEING CUT OUT W/O ANESTHESIA. IT HURT.

YOU FELT LIKE A THIRD KIND OF ARM, AN ALIEN PIECE OF ME CLINGING TO MY ORGANISM. NOT BELONGING TO ME, STILL ATTACHED AND ALWAYS THERE. NO TALKING OR EYE CONTACT NECESSARY TO KNOW WHAT THE OTHER PART HAD IN MIND OR WAS GOING TO DO NEXT.

BOTH, WE WEREN`T CAPABLE OF RIPPING EACH OTHER OUT OF OUR LIVES. WASN'T AS SIMPLE AS PULLING OFF A BANDAGE.

STILL SO CLOSE. WE NEEDED TO REMOVE EACH OTHER FROM OUR LIVES WITH FORCE.

FINALLY. DINSTANCE NOW. ARTIFICIALLY CONSTRUCTED.
