"Look, everyone! This is what hatred looks like! This is what it does when it catches hold of you! It's eating me alive, and very soon now it will kill me Fear and anger only make it grow faster!" -Nausica and the Valley of the Wind

I try to steady my hand.
I ask for my brow's sweat to be wiped.
I ask for the next tool.
I hear the steady bleeping.
I feel the cold metal.
I pull open the chest.
I make the cut.
And I say the worst word you will ever hear a surgeon say.

Oops.
