Analysis of Mankind
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The mans body was torn and veined
Like tree bark broken and his mind stretched to its limit. He decided to speak to himself for a day and a night to calm his thoughts.
The changes he was feeling were both terrifying and intriguing but had to become balanced somehow, someway, within his old self again.
He shut out the world so that he could challenge these inner thoughts and a calm reassurance ensued. During this time his whole body softly trembled like a giant heart beating and pulsating.
In the end when all was freed and only a little sickness remained in both body and mind, although he was ready to step into a new shell and become a new self, he decided to give himself time to overcome this new phase of life.
