Theo wanted to start a new Youtube channel, to publish videos on a theme. One idea was People Who Died Due to Ego, and on that list was The Swallower.
The Swallower was a 1930s geek (circus performer of the grotesque) who saw himself as a Houdini-like performer - he’d swallow anything the audience wanted. Swords were the normal. Gross stuff uncommon but fine. But it was a giant screw that did him in.
The Swallower knew he wasn’t feeling well that day but his ego assured him it’d be fine. It wasn’t - he choked, it lodged, then he suffocated.
