Al I can think about is Metallica - One Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there is not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me Back in the womb it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me

  A wonderful classic. Though I must point out -- and I've absolutely no qualms that you shared this, mind you! -- that Harlan Ellison used to be furious and very vocal about it when people shared his stuff online. I don't mind; I'd rather more people read these good old classics of the New Wave of scifi.

Over one thousand letters were received during his first hour in storage, as this was approximately four years time inside the cube. I will read one of his letters to you now: "Oh, oh God. Oh God.
