The story of my life can be told as the tale of a man who has been subjected to an unmanagable level of stress for too great a time. Along the way, some of my decisions had a negative impact, sometimes catastropically.

Normal? Normal is something that other people are. People of innocent mind. I think that's why I can never be normal: because the memories of my innocence are rare and fleeting. The Laws of Physics dictate this outcome. I am not more powerful than them, though I seek to be. I am tired of being tired.
