Around a kitchen table, the parents and two of their children talk. 
 
 `` You should n't have done that.'' 
 
 `` What was I supposed to do? This is fucking stupid. I do n't know why you have to be such jerks.'' 
 
 `` I am soo -- soo -- tired of all you kids doing these things to me. I should've just aborted you all!'' 
 
 Pupils dilate, to let in more light. The heart beats with greater urgency as norepinephrine and epinephrine are poured into the bloodstream. The blood gushes down central arteries as they vasodilate. The one-who-experiences feels a headache as the blood flow to the brain increases; visual acuity increases, almost to a painful degree. Light burns. Too many details are visible. Peripheral vision dims as focus bores in. 
 
 That heart-of-the-abdomen, the liver, breaks glycogen and releases huge stores of glucose into the bloodstream. Blood sugar levels may reach well into the hundreds in acute stress. Energy prepared in quiet now blazes forth. Likewise in the brain, certain neurons release massive caches of catecholamines to procure energy and processing speed. Processing shortcut pathways in the amygdala are activated, following the familar species-long adaptation to acute stress. 
 
 Each muscle's tension increases, to prepare to brutalize an opponent or to sprint. Blood drains from the face and extremities. Therefore scrapes will not bleed as much, but though the rage looks cold on the exterior, it 
 chars on the inside. The body siphons blood from the gastrointestinal tract to the muscles and brain. Everything non-essential to living in this moment shuts down. 
 
 Now what?
