Later that week. Melody is at her doctor’s surgery. She runs her finger over the tiny little bump in her upper arm.

The practice nurse applies a local, she waits.

‘Can you feel this?’

Melody looks over, sees her skin absorbing the prodding of a pair of tweezers. ‘No, I can’t feel anything.’

The nurse wipes the skin again, takes a fifteen blade out of its sterile wrapping.

‘Be still for me, love.’ The nurse makes a small, neat incision.

‘You’ve got a steady hand.’ Melody says.

The nurse glances up, ‘Most people like to look away.’

‘I’m a veterinary surgeon.’

‘Ah.’

Blood, her life juice, forms a beaded line. Somewhere between Salsa Red by Dulux, or Little Greene’s Atomic Red No.190.

The nurse removes the implant with quick efficiency. A tiny, thin cylinder. Then she inserts the replacement. She really is rather good.

‘Who’d have thought something so small… Amazing little things, aren’t they?’

‘Progestin is the real wonder, but yes.’

‘Do you find you still get your period?’

‘I think once in the last three years.’

‘Very common with hormone implants.’ The nurse places a little strip of adhesive gauze over the incision. The nurse turns, and as she’s washing her hands, says something Melody can’t quite catch about feedback.

‘What? Yes, all very good.’

The nurse cuts the tap, dries her hands. ‘That’s you all done then, good for another three years. You can remove it at any time, of course.’

‘Uh-huh.’
