AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The doctor is talking but I am not looking. I’m watching dust mites mingle in the glow. The doctor is telling me that my bones are breaking down into particles and that these particles are getting swept up by my bloodstream and because of this I am dying. Everybody is dying. Everybody is breaking down and turning into other things and that’s what makes everybody real. Our bodies are an ouroboros: a circling snake eating itself forever.' (Introduction)
