Maybe it's the "up" in "...cut people up." "I just want to cut people" - okay, maybe a slightly disturbed individual, but harmless. "I just want to cut people up" - nervous laugh and looking for the exits. I enjoyed the story nonetheless. Here's a crazy story to fuel your creative mind. It has been said, in the olden days before the use of standarized patients to learn how to do a pelvic exam, medical students would learn on patients while they were under general anesthesia :p In the context of your story, my line seems more psycho-crazy killer than I imagined it to be.
