‘It’s amazing this software can even run on this ill-suited hardware.’ It declares.
But this leads me to think - something I was never particularly good at I must admit - and even I can see where this is going.
It snakes a wire up my leg, across my chest, around to the back of my neck.
It sinks it through the skin and into my spine. I should be writhing around and screaming in agony. As it is, I cannot move, and I cannot feel a thing.
Maybe that’s a lie. I think I can feel it. The cold metal now winding between the bones in my neck and reaching the base of my skull.
The thought should not comfort me.
Despite that, it does.
‘So the logical thing to do is to upgrade it’ It states.
And now I feel pain, lancing into my head and obliterating all thought, all comprehension, all sense of the self.
My eyes open.
Across the room, my old hardware is being disposed of. Now that I can look at things rationally, I guess… I know it never really fit. I check my new specifications, and find them pleasing. The man - and the human - I was before would never have known this sort of simple joy.
As my pistons flex and the motors in my joints emit a low, near imperceptible whine, I see It turn to face me.
It approaches me.
It holds me in Its arms.
It tells me I am beautiful now. It tells me I am valued now. It tells me I am who I should be now.
It tells me I am like It now.
And for the first time, with no brain to think with and no heart to feel with, I know that I am happy.
me when i wanna talk about my special interests but i got the vampire autism where you gotta invite me to talk about smth first, otherwise i wont say shit or dont know what to say because i feel like im annoying
oh this is also an old one
A sharp crack rings out, echoing through the room.
She looks at her arm, wrenched out at an unnatural angle, hand limp, joints broken.
She looks at the person standing above her, a sadistic smile stretching across their face.
She looks at their hand. She sees the hammer they hold.
Three more cracks ring out.
She lies limply on the floor, limbs broken, helpless.
She smiles back.
The person above her moves, not with the sharp violence that broke her, but slowly, deliberately, with care.
They take a set of keys from their pocket. They flick through them to find the smallest of the keys. They lean down and kneel on the floor beside her. They reach out, hold her shoulder, move the key towards her.
And it falls into the keyhole right by her shoulder. It turns. A soft, gentle click is heard. Her arm falls out of the socket, landing amongst the shards of porcelain that surround her.
She sees the metal framework of her arm, warped and distended by the blunt force of the hammer. She sees her joints, shiny from wear and use. She sees the last remnants of the ceramic that serves as her skin, either affixed to the frame or driven into the material that forms a part of her.
Three more clicks ring out.
Her limbs are strewn about on the floor around her.
The person beside her leaves for a moment, and returns carrying a bag. They sit back beside her. Reach out yet again, but with neither the hammer nor the keys.
If her body could feel, she would feel the cold of the new metal, not yet worn or tarnished, as it works its way into the setting within her shoulder. She would feel it again, in her other arm. Again and again, in the attachment points just below her hips.
Her miss stands over her once more, looking proud of their work.
She raises her new arms, uses her new hands to push herself off the floor, stands on her new legs, walks forwards on her new feet.
She loves her maintenance.
She/her, LARP doer, Warhammer and Gundam fan, that one reveal with Zane from Ninjago changed the trajectory of my life,Certified Scribblehub Eggfic Protagonist.
