Why you curl your toes (during climax).
The science is surprising.
This is end of life.
The train enters the dark tunnel, whistling cho-cho!
The tunnel, silent and waiting. The train rushes in, metal clanging, until — poof! — darkness swallows it whole.
It just keeps chugging.
It’s like an oil drill entering a small hole in the surface of the earth.
It starts slow.
In, out, in…..out…in……out….
Soon, the earth rumbles. Oil seeps out a little, spraying everywhere in a wild, chaotic burst.
It’s messy, thrilling, and unstoppable.
The drill doesn’t stop. It knows its job. Suddenly, it’s the point of no return. The in and out becoming faster.
And finally, like a NASA shuttle sitting on the launch pad, the rocket starts to tremble with energy.
Smoke curls as the engines roar, flames come out, and — BOOM!
It bursts into a shower of fireworks like the beautiful night skies of July 4th.
