Sharp

I actually considered, for a moment, snitching a flu shot

to bring home to D. Highly unethical, quite illegal. But

the really personally disturbing part, is that I have no

real qualms about shoving a needle in his arm. I

have never done so before, but it took me a

little while to really think, "wow, this is not normal

human behaviour." I stick sharp things into people. To help

them. Medical folks throughout time have hurt to help, bled,

injected, cut. A moment of pain now, to save further

pain, infection, suffering, death. Not enjoyment, a kind of rightness.
