>>103076167When I was 15 I broke my knee and was stuck in a machine that rehabilitated my healing bones and tendons by forcefully bending them. I sat in that machine for 16 hours straight, staring in dead silence at my TV while I played Halo 3: ODST. I did not sleep, eat, drink, or even pee in all that time. I did not ponder why I was there, or what I'd done to deserve my horrendous injury. I did not curse my fate, I did not even contemplate it. All I did was stare at that TV in an unblinking, unfeeling stare.
