    EPIGRAPH: They're treating my resistance to their diagnosis as a personal affront. But it's my body and my life and the goddess knows i'm paying enough for all this, I ought to have a say. I am going to write fire until it comes out of my ears, my eyes, my noseholes - everywhere. Until it's every breath I breathe. I'm going to go out like a fucking meteor!

    EPIGRAPH: I want to write rage but all that comes is sadness. We have been sad long enough to make this earth either weep or grow fertile. I am an anachronism, a sport, like the bee that was never meant to fly. Science said so. I am not supposed to exist. I carry death around in my body like a condemnation. But I do live. The bee flies. There must be some way to integrate death into living, neither ignoring it nor giving in to it.
