Heisig story:

The existential condition of anxiety that arises from the inevitable frustration of our worldly passions is contained in this character. The head is set afire, causing deep torment of spirit (and a whopper of a headache).

Koohii stories:

1) [Christine_Tham] 30-7-2007(173): An anxiety feels like FIRE in the HEAD.

2) [sethimayne] 9-10-2007(96): Imagine the anxiety a librarian would feel if the library caught fire and all the pages of his books were burning up.

3) [scottamus] 21-12-2005(70): Many performers get "Michael Jackson anxiety" wherein they fear their head will catch on fire.

4) [PrettyKitty] 4-7-2007(22): In ancient times, they said anxiety was cause by "fire in the head." Picture doctors prescibing many different crazy/silly ways to get the fire out of the patient's head. Now picture it like your watching a documentary on the History Channel about it. Not going to forget it anytime soon now. :).

5) [SammyB] 5-11-2008(12): I would be feeling anxiety too if there was a fire on my head!
