i'm on the boat in 20,000 leagues under the sea. we're running quiet in a
circle around another ship we plan to sink. its dark but not completely
dark. i'm controlling our depth with a screwdriver. the captain is
elsewhere in the ship, higher up, quietly giving us orders. we can't see
anything where we are.
now i can see. we circle the boat and i can see people leaning against the
rail on deck looking out at the water. they don't see us.

we take e and i decide to go through my records, but someone has moved the
tables. i also want to turn on the flashy lights but some issue with the
powerstrips forces me to move them across the room.
someone has cut the coffin in half. i tell them the whole reason i have the
one i do is because its one piece. then i feel a bit bad and tell them not
to worry about it. shortly after i realize its a bit of an improvement.

i'm grinding my teeth. i'm with someone else, and am incredibly frustrated because i can't stop and am having trouble explaining it to them, but i also have other business to conduct with them in which i need to be assertive and i can't even explain whats wrong with me.
i wonder (for the first time?) if some sort of muscle relaxant would do the trick.
