You sit over there and the transfer seat, I hook upsome electrodes to keep your body alive while you're gone, I push abutton and you wake up in the ne... body," she said."Don't you dress them first?" I asked feeling awkward about waking up ina naked female body."Oh don't be shy, it's not like I haven't seen what these bodies looklike naked. I'll help you get dressed once you're transferred," shesaid.For some reason those words made me feel uneasy, thinking about whatdress she was going to have. Nothing helped." Don't worry. It was just what I wanted." Better than yesterday?" Not better. Different, though. It was like thirst." How so?" Well, when you're really thirsty, you know, you just want water and lots of it. That's what today was. Yesterday, it was wine, not water. I didn't want to drink it so fast. I wanted to sip it, and savor it, discover its overtones and aftertastes." So what was your fuck last night? Wine or water?" Flat Seven-Up!" she snorted. "We went to my place after. " Besides, I need to go to work." Oh yeah. When do you have to be there?" Sunday hours are eleven to five. I need to be there by ten forty-five or so." Did you bring your Hubbard's outfit?" he asked."No. I'll need to go back to my place and change. What time is it?" A little after eight. Are you hungry?" he asked. "Or, is that a stupid question?" I am always hungry..." She rolled against him and hugged him."Let's see what we can find for breakfast."They held hands and descended the stairs. She. She needed to eat, she knew that, but more important, she knew she had to try something else. Something not so easy, something more exciting, and she knew exactly what it was.As her dinner cooked in the oven, she went to her parents room. She didn’t even know if her mother owned one, but hoped that she did, and that they had no taken it with them.She found it in a box on the top shelf of the wardrobe. Whether her mother actually ever used it or not, she didn’t want to know. She just wanted to.
