They’re happening more and more lately. I feel a lurching feeling in my stomach – like someone has tied a string round my intestines and decided to yank it – and suddenly I am not here. I am somewhere else in someone else’s body. It’s unsettling, for I keep thinking that this is it, this is my chance for freedom, and as soon as I become comfortable in my assumed role, I am yanked back out again.

It’s upsetting.
