Huh? Oh, sorry, pillowhammer just kicked in."
An description of the pillowhammer, taken from an article by Angie Chuang about propofol use :
"However, taking propofol was one of the most truly pleasant pharmaceutical experiences. Propofol didn’t just make me sleepy; it made me feel as if my soul had been detached from my body and was resting just above it, on a cloud of marshmallow
fluff, sweet and achingly tender. It made the
time I was under its influence pass in a flicker
like the inside of a tunnel viewed from a bullet train, just a glimpse of
darkness and lights stretched into long streaks."
