Close Encounter With A Mat Knife
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009OK, so I had one. A close encounter, that is. I had just changed the knife blade to a new one. Extremely sharp. Not paying attention and talking away while doing some paper cuts, before I knew it, I had slashed my thumb to the bone. It was so fast I didn’t even feel it until after it happened.
Then, oddly enough, there was only the recollection of pain – there was never a pain in the moment of slashing.
Later on I realized that in the recollection I was just making the pain up, because in the moment of the cut the blade was so sharp and the act was so fast that there was no time for the pain.
