I had the operation today

[mentality_loss]

I was very surprised indeed. That man was really going to stick his steel tools in my brain.

I remembered nothing afterwards.

I remember the afterwards clearly enough to tell you a bullshit story.
He gave me enough pain killers to kill a horse. I planned only to kill pain.

Then there was dinner. Big juicy steaks cooked to a delicious browned-pink.

And after dinner.
We planned to go on a small walk to enjoy what little of the darkening night was left.
Those plans were ruined when we discovered an already befallen moonless night.
We walked briskly through our ruined dark night.

Then I remembered.
Something about playing cards.
