ALWAYS TEARS  IN MY  EYES WHEN USING THE 
                 MACHINE.                 
                                          
 I  DON'T THINK IT'S  HORMONAL  OVERLOAD. 
 THERE'S NO  GRIEF  OR  JOY  AS  MY WATER 
 ROLLS  DOWN MY  FACE. I  NOTICE  NOTHING 
 UNTIL  MY CHIN IS WET. WIPE IT  OFF WITH 
 THE BACK OF MY HAND. BUT I  USUALLY KEEP 
           CRYING FOR A WHILE.            
                                          
 I  THEORIZE  SOME KIND OF  RESONANCE  IN 
   THE NEURAL INTERFACE; SOME SATURATION  
 SIGNAL BEING TRIPPED? THE CONNECTION  IS 
        IMPERFECT AND OFTEN INDUCES       
  SINGLE-SENSE HALLUCINATIONS. ACUTE BUT  
 HOLLOW  HUNGER.  SAND  GRAINS  UNDER  MY 
  FINGERTIPS. STRANGE TASTES AND SCENTS.  
                                          
 AND  I  MEAN,  MAYBE  IT  ISN'T  TO  FAR 
 FETCHED  THAT  SOMETHING LIKE  THAT  CAN 
  CAUSE AUTONOMOUS REACTIONS? DRY MOUTH.  
     FINGER SPASMS. OPENED TEAR DUCTS.
