Recently I was reading a story that contained a very graphic and sadistic torture scene. Even before reading I knew it would bother me, but my curiosity got the best of me. Since then, I can't stop thinking about that scene as the words play out over and over again in my head. I know "it's just fiction", but it's starting to drive me mad how often it pops up.

What do you guys do when you come across scenes like this?
