This May Be Uncomfortable, But Please Don't Show Your Discomfort

Stress Ball was written for and read by Newspeak.  Recorded and mixed by Alex Haley.  It is dedicated to my time at Shenandoah Conservatory.  It is a piece about diamonds and stress balls.  It is a piece about pressure and stress.

Text written by Jeremy Parel:
1.  It is well known that mined diamonds are produced by destructive mining and may be flawed and discolored.
2.  We humans can create diamonds without pressure in our laboratories.
3.  All you need is party balloons, flour a funnel and some scissors.  That's how you make a stress ball.
