Case X (Journal of Experimental Fiction, 60)

Fiction. Stuck head-first into a Tomotherapy Radiation Machine, CASE X enters "skull-time," his inner pro-jectionist giving him views of his past, present, and future during a series of thirty treatments over a period of six weeks. He will discover his illness is not simply a biological dysfunction of a body part, but a pervasive disturbance of our being in the world, an all- pervasive existential concern. CASE X will answer the query: "What the %@&#!! happens when an academic, in a life or death bout with salivary gland cancer, daily enters a radiation machine in a sterile, white room, monitored by his radiation technicians?"
