Occasionally, when I'm in the shower I'll grab a quick gulp of water. About a month ago, this action caused me to gag, cough and generally feel terrible for a few seconds. And I remember the thought that accompanied it; all I wanted was for it to be over. Unfortunately, it got me to thinking about the torture technique "waterboarding." I had my reaction by mistake; what would it be like to have someone else in complete control of this kind of situation? The overwhelming physical agony? The fear of a horrible death (and, maybe, just a little fear that death would never come and the torture would just go on and on forever).
