I have returned from my weeklong treacherous travail to the edge of the Coma Canyon abyss.
My torso has become a palate of deep purple, yellow and green, against a canvas of pale skin.
I am minus one organ, which I am convinced was pummeled into submission before being sliced out, leaving a trail of over a dozen industrial-grade, stainless steel staples.
Somewhere along the path, I was shocked with electrical paddles.
I am Frankenstein.
And, I have the T-shirt to prove it.
