and the wire enters through my eye socket. It scrapes by the bone, carving a pathway on its surface, twisting its way around and around the nerves that connect brain to eye, squeezing tight without pulling. I smile at that, tasting blood as it leaks down into my mouth and throat, relishing the new connections that show me a new world interpreted through wiring and gumption.
Eyesight replaced with a void stretching into the middle
distance, never quite managing to end, and the last of the discomfort caused by
the upgrade fade as the wiring settles into place. I take a step, and the whole
world moves.
