Sound waves lift brain, carry it forward in its bath of fluid like it’s a wave itself. No pain. Eerie feeling. Concussed again. But nothing like the car crash, though I’ve been resisting that PTSD flashback for about a week since this out-of-the-blue incident. Guess I now know why I felt such a push to…
