Cyran0, you weren't aware of it at the time, but you were creating, you were being imaginative! You may not have been projecting a part of you into a hero or otherwise, but you were touching the hearts and minds of those that share your illness with you, one of them being me.

You, Dear Writer, expressed your illness in words many of us only wish we knew! Maybe you didn't get your script rewritten but you served a grander purpose in this universe. You reached out and touched, other humans that also have dark, bulging, pulsating wounds and for a minute in time, we were not alone. We were validated. We were understood. We (I) were enthralled.

You chose your screen name wisely, Cyrano.
