BREAKING RULE #37

Very nearly slipped this mortal coil, I did, I did. Recently. Pushed it to the very edge and stood there teetering, at the brink, arms wildly windmilling as I looked down...gazing into the abyss...trying to decide. What a view!

Truth is, my decisionmaking had very little influence on eventualities, and, in fact, had already been proven sorely lacking. The experience fooled me completely, ushering me onto center stage where I felt forced to cope like a ringmaster. I prefer the shadow's edge, but I stepped up and dealt with my dilemma in no uncertain terms, psychologically wrestling my nurses to the ground at every opportunity. Leaving them giddy whenever I could. Bollocks the grimness. It was a riot, but I'm exhausted...exhausted and financially drained. Insurance? Bah!
