The Man with the Pin There's a man with a pin who like a charioteer oversees my value in being fluent while I struggle to manage. The man with the pin may push it in to me at the frequency and pressure he pleases as I continue to survive. The force the man shall use depends on the psychosocial circumstance for instance the man will continually ask me "the places you want to stutter the least such as seemingly *arbitrary social events* such as presentations, wedding ceremonies, that upcoming date, that first impression, that orientation to meeting your work employees, etc... And when I see you fail, I push the pin into your arm once more".
