The Bottom Line None.
Stewart felt as if his chest were wrapped in a belt, cinched tightly. His brain was getting the oxygen it needed but he just couldn't suck in a breath. And he was always itchy and tingly in the arms and legs. Earlier, he tried screaming but could only open his mouth and swallow more gunk that did not drown him. The girl kept saying, "nanites" this and "nanites" that...what the hell were "nanites"? She would always just click her tongue and say "The things that are making you able to talk and be headless and not die, stupid!" Then she would start asking questions and he hated that the most. "Can you feel this?" she would ask and more often than not he felt nothing. But sometimes he could feel his fingers moving or clinching so badly his knuckles ached. Sometimes his knees felt like they were bending backwards. But always the itching bothered him the most. Stewart began to think that whatever this girl was doing to him was clutzy and fumbling. He began to think she was the stupid one. "President? Of what?" Stewart almost chuckled but it made his "neck" hurt to laugh. "Of America...The United States." he responded. The girl just sighed and jabbed a pointy finger into the air. A window opened up in mid air and showed a display...the words were backwards to Stewart's viewpoint and she changed the window so quickly Stewart could not figure out what he was trying to read. She was typing on a keyboard that looked like it was projected onto her desk. She stabbed her finger at the window and it folded up and vanished with a weird chime. "The United States of America?" she asked him. "Yes." he said. "Dissolved in 2017 by the president." she responded, spitting out the word president. "So who runs this a s shole filled country right now?" Stewart spat back. The girl did something above his head and said, "A s shole?" Stewart was seized by the worst rectal itch he had ever had. Just then the bell rang and class was over. The girl bent forward and almost touched Stewart's nose with hers. "Goodnight head...I'll see you on Monday." Oh wait, teacher workday...three day weekend and all..see you on Tuesday." Stewart was looking at three days of rectal itching so bad it made him scream and swallow a lot of gunk and not care. |
