By Jack Joseph Smith

He had thought he had gone over that; Straight ahead he had believed the freeze was from a fear of reading peo- ples minds who were unfriendly. When the freeze was happen- ing He was doing with heavy objects, which made him smile. "In truth I see acid burning from ex brains into streams." He sat cross legged, staring ahead. His eyes buldged without his glasses on; the glasses he usually wore were like the thickness of a spacecraft windshield; not as heavy.

This fragment presents freeze, psychic pressure, and bodily intensity as part of a strained inner state that turns even pain into a kind of grim animation.

Even as a fragment, the page has gained more physical definition: fear of hostile minds, a freeze state, doing with heavy objects, acid burning into streams, and the thick glasses all push the scene toward embodied strain rather than abstraction. This reading remains provisional because dense handwritten revisions still need closer scan-backed transcription review.
