Had an odd dream last night... I dreamt I was at the mall, when I spotted a crowd gathering over by the food court. I went to see what was happening, and at the center of the crowd, was a shady-looking fellow who claimed to be a doctor(looked more like a doctor from Shadowrun) who said he had developed an amazing new technology that would allow anyone to detach and reattach any limb at will.
At first, I was intrigued, but then I decided I shouldn't be letting strangers chop my limbs off. Then my dream skipped ahead, and hey, my hand was chopped off!
It didn't hurt, oddly enough, and thankfully there wasn't much blood. The "doctor" was preparing something that looked like a big metal spike with a flat part on the end, and a socket in the flat part, with a matching plug already attached to my severed hand. He got ready to jam the spike into my stump, when I asked, "Is this going to hurt?" He grinned and said, "Yep."
Thankfully, my brain started to skip that part.
Then, I had my hand back, and it worked just fine! Yay! Thank goodness, because that was my 'batin hand.
The doc had put some kind of ridged grey band around the seam where my hand and wrist were now impermanently joined by a thin, grey, ridged band. He cautioned me not to get it wet, and sent me on my way.
So I did what anyone with a new detachable hand would do: I went to find a witch to show it off! She seemed unimpressed by my new ability to maim myself at will, and sent me off on a quest to find a fairy. She didn't say why she wanted the fairy, but whatevs, she seemed trustworthy.
I found the fairy by a pond, and she immediately asked me to go swimming with her. I was pretty sure she was trying to seduce me, but I informed her that my shady mall doctor had told me not to get my new wrist-plug wet, and that didn't go over with her too well. Her eyes sunk back into her head, her mouth opened wide with sharp teeth, and she tried to drag my into the pond.
So I flew away. Apparently I could do that too.
THE END
