      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&#39;s Note:&lt;/strong&gt; Author&amp;rsquo;s note for the reality challenged:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This story deals with breath control. (Duh.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is a really, really, dangerous activity. One which I&amp;rsquo;ve read (and I believe) is impossible to perform safely. No one can tell exactly where &amp;ldquo;the line&amp;rdquo; is which will result in brain damage or death.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In fact, from what I&amp;rsquo;ve read, the vast majority of people who die from playing with breath control are people who are experienced in it. People who think that, because they&amp;rsquo;ve done it dozens of times, that that means they know how to do it safely. I tried as hard as I could to design a scenario which was as safe as possible. But I&amp;rsquo;ll freely admit that I&amp;rsquo;m not even one of those people who&amp;rsquo;s done this, and thinks he&amp;rsquo;s an expert, now. I&amp;rsquo;ve never done this, which means I&amp;rsquo;m describing how I think things would feel.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
