8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch #240 of Charles Dickens\u2019 Great Expectations --Initial symptoms following exposure to sarin are a runny nose, tightness in the chest and constriction of the pupils. Soon after, the victim has difficulty breathing and experiences nausea and drooling. As the victim continues to lose control of bodily functions, the victim vomits, defecates and urinates. This phase is followed by twitching and jerking. Ultimately, the victim becomes comatose and suffocates in a series of convulsive spasms.-- Visit www.HavishamHour.com to order fine prints, listen to previous podcasts, and to learn more about this project. \xa92013 Julio Panisello.
