I will never be specific about the crimes or the illness. It doesn’t matter, and would only upset the tiny number of people who can stand me.
That was not entirely truthful. There is an additional reason. By not being specific, I encourage any reader who happens across it to assume the worst, as that is what is most common to human nature. I also desire, though am not certain of its success, the reader to judge themselves favorably against me. But merely imagining a hypothetical reader judging themselves favorably against me makes me rejoice.

The Lord answers prayer. Driving home today from the Plasma Donation Center, I saw this:
I was immediately sick at heart. My soul grieved for these little ones. They have no idea of the horrors that await them. I am much, much further down the road than they. I know their futures. The pain and suffering they must endure made me weep. I am old and hardened, at this stage my own misery amuses me, you see how it pleases me to write of it. But these little ones are not calloused. They are still fresh in this Hell. They have likely only received a few kicks yet. The reality of their future anguish released me instantly from the trap of Day 8. On their behalf I spat in Satan's face, and he fled.
Intensity: I survived a rather feverish 48 hours.
Frequency: Abating.
Factors: Yes, I survived a rather feverish 48 hours. But at what price? The knowledge of the agony the little ones must suffer is a hard coin to mint.
