Chang and Eng

Do you remember
the original Siamese twins?



Chang and Eng.



They were joined at the chest.



Remember how they died?



Mm.



Chang...



..died of a stroke...



..in the middle of the night.



He was always the sickly one.



He was always the one
who drank too much.



When Eng woke up beside him...



..and found that his brother was dead,...



..he died of fright...



..right there in the bed.

"I hesitated at finding myself wrestling with this ugly golden creature, made beautiful by its scars and wounds. I moved my mouth across the scars on his lips, feeling with my tongue for those familiar elements of long-vanished dashboards and windhshields. Vaughan loosened his leather jacket, exposing the re-opened wounds that marked his chest and abdomen, a deranged drag queen revealing the leaking scars of an unsuccesful trans-sexual surgery. I lowered my head to his chest, pressing my cheek against the bloody profiles of a collapsing steering wheel, the collision points of an instrument panel. I ran my lips along his left collar-bone, and sucked at his scarred nipple, feeling the re-sectioned areola between my lips."

-J. G. Ballard (Crash)
