*Features an introduction by Kealan Patrick Burke* Hurt is a cycle. It is said that those who have experienced pain are more likely to inflict pain on others. Within these pages are four examples of the perpetual nature of trauma, and of horrific acts which breed human monsters. A disgraced med student continues practicing surgery outside of the operating room. A disfigured woman attempts to overcome her pain with horrifying results. A working mom learns that running from her past only makes it more dangerous. A ballet dancer tries to escape the trauma that shadows her. As one tale bleeds into the next, and suffering begets suffering, they'll each learn the true meaning behind the old adage... Hurt people HURT people.
