Example text

The usual question. This body is rotting but I can slow it down until we reach shore. Then we’ll need a reality bender or a shaman to cure it for good. Expect a lot of pain for the next thirty-seven days. Longer if we get trapped in a storm. Sounds peachy. They don’t trade words for several minutes, until the man coughs again then says, what did you do exactly? The doctor scratches his beard, gathers his thoughts. Exchanged brains. Bent reality as best as I could. Rewired nerves. Replaced organs that were damaged.

The damage, he repeats. Took the drones and me about eight hours to reattach all four of your limbs. Three hours more than usual. Your heart stopped beating for eight minutes. We made sure your brain still got oxygen, though. Fuck, says Asher. Callahan slides the goggles off, revealing eyes flooded with blood. Asher. You can’t keep going. It’s getting harder. Asher nods and says, what else can I do? The doctor sighs. Someone slid a present under your door, by the by. Catch. Asher’s nerves fail on him and the envelope slaps against his chest.

He managed to do what his father never could. He built a devoted fan base. Yellowed fliers on the crumbling walls in the ghetto advertised: Tonight in Sector 7, come see The Amazing Asher kill himself for your entertainment. Only tonight folks—we deal in death, not resurrection. ——— Asher wakes up to unblinking bug eyes staring at him over stiletto teeth. The prodigal son returns, says Callahan, lighting up a cigarette fatter than a pinky finger. Almost gave me a heart attack, you bastard, croaks Asher.
