“Yes, I am Augustus.”
I look at him across the table.
“I am very impressed, Jed.”
I don’t know his face but his voice.
“None of the others could remember my name at this stage.”
But I know his voice, the cell phone.
“That’s right, Jed, there was a cell phone and the matter of a wager.”
I made a bet with this man.
“Which you lost, and now you are here.”
I look down again at my own body, trying to understand how I could have gained so much muscle all in this clear rubber welded to my skin, catching the light. This can’t be real, none of this can real, I must be asleep, it feels like I’m asleep, everything distant and slow.
