Case 43: On Your Own

Whether I skim my way along the flooded street or wait on an escalator, I get an occasional pain deep inside my head that radiates up to my face. It could be a tiny stroke or most probably a psychosomatic symptom. I may need some troubleshooting.
My continuing humdrum existence has left me alienated. This, coupled by my incapacity for faith, have detached me from reality. As a recluse driven by paranoia, my feeble attempts for your affirmation only had the opposite effect. This desire for connection is signaled by a headache, possibly brought by a neuron's rotting dendrites.
How can I make it stop? I should curb this longing and accept the current condition. I should focus on the benefits of being alone if there are some. Alternatively, I could take the initiative to finally build that bridge and tear down that wall.
Unless the pain is really due to a tiny stroke. If that is the case, I should start drinking since I have read somewhere that alcohol is a nice blood thinner.
Read the whole thing.
