SLOANE
It’s this heat—I feel it in, I feel it in my face first, my head.
(pause)
That’s the most dangerous place, isn’t it? It controls everything. My brain. So when my brain is hot, then…my body, it gets hot too and it just…it does what my brain needs to have done. I don’t want to twist your wrist until I hear those little bones crackling. I just feel so hot and it’s the only thing that cools me down. Oh…you look so sad. So scared…
(pause)
Have you ever walked along the beach in a heat wave? Felt the sand so hot under your feet that it stings? Thousands of sizzling dagger blades, twisting and burning and pressing, invading your body. Have you felt that?
(pause)
It’s unbearable, isn’t it? You look pained now, but this is only your shoulder out of joint, your fingers broken. Imagine—END OF EXCERPT
