Ouch, that was painful. Feels allegorical, though I’m not sure for what. The ‘left, right, left’ stuff had me thinking military, but your meaning remains elusive. Great, albeit horrific, visual as well.
I like the contrast at the beginning very much. The action that followed was so jarring! The horror and pain with the unfinished feeling at the end feels kind of appropriate, as if the protagonist just still can’t snap out of it every time he tells it.
