Description

You crack open your skull, cut a slice of your mind and set it on a silver platter. Symbolic colored blood starts to pool up and drip off the sides. You stare into the reflection waiting for it to morph into what you want to see. Nothing changes, nothing happens. You decide to rush the process by amputating your arm, a syringe is revealed embedded in your veins. Ripping it out and gently inserting the needle into the white of your eye, you drain the sclera and add a few drops, still nothing. Frustration builds within you as you slice open your mind once more, this time removing all of it and throwing it on the platter. Worn down, tired, bloodied, you look one more time into the pool of blood and see it.
