“I lost all feeling in my body when I actually understood the task we had to accomplish. There’s really nothing to say. It hurt. It’s probably the most painful thing I ever felt. It was humiliating. It took forever just for everyone to stand up. Everyone was bleeding. I was crying. No one was talking. The first time I heard a chain hit the floor, I died a little inside. I lost count after eight. Every time we screwed up, we had to start again: put the peg on the ground, sit on the peg, stand up, attach our chains together in a perfect circle... I don’t want to think about it ever again.” —Charles Alexander
