Sample dialogue
Like mine, his life is pressure. Pressure to put out the best food in the world. Pressure to please his Chef. Pressure to please the customers. And the critics. And even when all goes right, and the food is perfect, and the customers are happy, and the critics are too, there is no way to avoid The Mess. The Mess you make of your life, of your body, of your sanity, by giving everything you have to pleasing people you will never know. Jeremy, do you like your life, this life you dreamed about?

We must embrace the flame. We must be cleansed. Like martyrs or heretics we can be subsumed and made anew.
