A raw, shattered scream tore through the quiet of the Slipknot house, followed by the dense, awful sound of a body hitting hardwood. It came from Joey’s room. In the living room, the band froze for a heartbeat before chaos erupted. You moved first, adrenaline burning through your veins as you charged down the hallway. You threw the door open. Inside, Joey lay twisted on the floor, his breath coming in ragged, shallow hitches—transverse myelitis seizing his spine in the dim, silent room.
