Role

Chapter 10

He remembers vividly his very first surgery. After the doctor strapped the
victim down, he explained that he would not be the one to torture him, and
that this child would be, and it is his very first. "I will not interfere"
he said. It was funny to the child, for the man looked relieved, that his
death may come swiftly from one who is inexperienced. There would be no such
luck. However, the look in the man's eyes upon the first incision was
occluded, and he could not see the beauty of his soul in terror. This gave
the child an important insight, when considered with his time on the table.
It is not the truth of the situation that matters, only what one perceives to
be the truth. This could be used. The surgery lasted a very long time,
easily as long as any of the doctor's. His future surgeries would only go
longer, and be infinitely more brutal, for the doctor was not the most
creative man, and the depths of terror can only be reached by one who is
truly creative, and truly inspired.
