This wasn&#8217;t just any party though it was a party being held by tiny guitar genius Prince. It is being held in a huge hall however on the inside it&#8217;s not very grandiose; instead it retains the look of a simple working men&#8217;s club with aisles of seats, various rooms and a bar on the side. I pull up to the bar for a drink and for some reason there is a rumour spread that you can&#8217;t stay at the party unless\u00a0Prince&#8217;s personal physician has checked you out to make sure you&#8217;re not ill and won&#8217;t pass any illnesses onto him. This seems very strange but my reasoning is that, &#8220;this is Prince, not just anyone. I&#8217;ll take a quick once over from a quack for an all night drinking sesh.&#8221; Something along those <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">loins, lines, lions<\/span>, lines.<\/p>\n<p>People keep going into a room at the back with a nurse and coming out smiling. I get the impression I&#8217;m missing out on something. The strange thing is that we&#8217;ve hardly seen Prince at all other than a man, who could have been Prince, standing at the far end of the room on his mobile dressed in a purple suit. Everyone seems to go in before I do and I&#8217;m getting pretty nervous as people are starting to leave. I get tapped on the shoulder by a nurse who leads me into\u00a0a tiny room filled with stacks of chairs and a man in a white coat.<\/p>\n<p>I lie down, he checks me over and does a few initial inspections; no problems. Then he puts some sort of machine over me and examines my inside, which are relatively fine, except for some gunk here and there. The doctor uses a gauze and what looks like a cloth to clean my ribs at the back. It tickles a little. I get no attention whatsoever from any of the nurses, as a few more have appeared since I arrived.<\/p>\n<p>The doctor pats me on the back and tells me everything is fine. I leave the room too with a smile on my face but something doesn&#8217;t feel right. Looking down underneath my t-shirt there is a line of huge, awful, bloody vertical stitches stretching from my chest down to my pelvis. Then I wake up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am getting very worried about my present state of mind&#8230; It&#8217;s mid-afternoon and I&#8217;m going to a party with a friend (no idea who it was).
