A mystery injury. I have no idea where a red sore spot came from. Is it a burn? It looks like a burn, but from what? Is it a blemish?<\/p>\n<p>I have committed only minor self-harm this past year, unlike a previous span of time where I expected to one day wake up dead. I think of it when I pass the fusebox, in the hallway. Did I smash my face onto the corners of that fusebox, causing what looked like a fist-fight-induced black eye? How lucky am I that I didn&#8217;t gouge out the fucking eyeball itself?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t understand where a burn could have come from. I&#8217;m guessing instead it&#8217;s a scrape. Strange looking scrape.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Forgot to mention that I rode the LIRR yesterday for the first time in probably 2 years. I didn&#8217;t have to, and kind of wished I hadn&#8217;t.\u00a0 I wasn&#8217;t thinking about it but man, their communication is excellent. Most of the voices are human but an occasional robot intrudes on that. I also wasn&#8217;t thinking about it until I got there but I got some sweet video of the trains roaring past. That&#8217;s a favorite of a friend of mine. It&#8217;s incredible to think how quickly those express trains would destroy your body should you leap into its path. I am sure it happens far more than is reported. If all suicides were reported you would think it was an epidemic. You&#8217;d be right.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It was fun meeting up with old friends last night but it did impede my ability to go for the person I was there for. It&#8217;ll be fine. She was looking my way but that might just be her thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I discovered something I have not encountered in some time. A mystery injury.
