first times

This osteopath began his work today by clasping electrodes to my back and turning the voltage as high "as you can stand". This meant i could feel my muscles twitching and switching with a life of their own, hopping like crazy in electric rhythm. Thus i was left alone for 10 minutes. Alone with somebody's panicking heart grafted to my shoulders (that's how it felt, and that's how my heart was taking it, faster and faster, before I talked him down, can't see anything without wanting the same, the sympathetic bastard) 10 minutes is a long time.
Afterwards came bliss.
