21 | He looked down at his hands idly while he was typing. They were dry and | ||
22 | cracked in places. He thought he might start bleeding so he went inside for | ||
23 | some lotion. | ||
24 | |||
25 | "Do we have any lotion" he asked his mother. "In the medicine cabinet" she | ||
26 | said without looking up from the TV. He walked into the bathroom and looked | ||
27 | at himself in the mirror. "I look strange" he said to himself "I look like a | ||
28 | teenager." He stared into his right eye, then his left. He saw nothing but | ||
29 | his own reflection fish-eyed in his pupils. He opened the medicine cabinet. | ||

35 | them such power? It is that their | ||
36 | power is hidden in the arm. Push | ||
37 | on the inside of the wrist--the | ||
38 | hand closes. Reach under the skin | ||
39 | and pull on the outside tendons-- | ||
40 | the hand opens again. Hands are | ||
41 | only machines for grasping, | ||
42 | controlled by the arm, not the | ||
43 | mind. | ||
