Continuing with the run of TIM from my old experiMental Theatre web comic...
Full Disclosure: Strangling Jack Johnson (of the Swinging Johnson Brothers) is my youngest son.
From here, we cannot continue.
At this point, i gave in to the Fear.
You see, i had created an avatar of myself and was systematically destroying it with an audience of hundreds, then thousands, focused on the process. If you read through the comments on the original site, you'll see that as i climbed the ratings and topped charts, i wound up in the hospital for the first time since having my tonsils removed as a youngling. A few weeks later, i was back in again, and again...
As i lost my health, i lost my home and my income.
The more i destroyed myself in the comic, the more my life disintegrated around me.
I eventually decided it wasn't safe for me to continue - at least not in this form.
Silly? Perhaps.
But i haven't been back in the hospital since quitting the story.
