A roaring like thunder fills the air, fire flares in his eyes, then comes 
pain, an ocean of pain, a galaxy of pain, more pain than he had ever imagined 
might afflict a single person, agony, excruciating, without end, without limit. Piercing him from every direction. Pounding into his skull. 
Slamming through his whole body. Some part of him can’t believe that one person
could suffer this degree of agony and survive. He feels as if pain alone, like a 
tangible physical force, might split him apart, break him into pieces and crush 
him, smash him into atoms.
