Start:
It wasn't for long, I wasn't there long. But drinking bitter black coffee I catch that medicinal smell in a cloud of ancient tobacco and something touches me in that still place and a wound from two years ago opens like a cadaver and a long buried shame roars its foul decaying grief.

Sarah Kane, 4.48 Psychosis, in The Complete Plays of Sarah Kane, ed. David Greig, Methuen Drama, 2001, pp.209-210.
