Chapter Twenty-One

“She can’t be!” The pathologist murmured as she hovered over me, scalpel only inches from my good eye.

“I’m alive in here!” I screamed inside my head. Got to get that scalpel away from me! Got to get that…

Then, without thought, more by instinct, I thrust out my hand and took hold of the pathologist’s wrist. I curled the three fingers on my right hand with such force that the pathologist screamed, fearing her wrist bone would disintegrate.

“Get that thing away from me!” I yelled, but the words didn’t sound anything like that. They came out sounding slushy, like water lapping against the side of a bath. My tongue rolled against the inside of my mouth and spittle sprayed from the small, circular opening where my lips had once been.

“Slet sat sing sway rom smeee!” I screamed again, jerking the pathologist’s arm to the right and sending the scalpel flying across the lab. The guy with the needle ducked, then slipped backwards and crashed into a silver trolley that toppled over and sent surgical equipment clattering across the room.

The police officer backed away and began fumbling for his radio which was attached to his shirt. Groaning, the pathologist fell away, holding her wrist to her chest.

I looked at him with my one bloodshot eye and nodded in

agreement. “Slothes,” I said again, holding out what was left of my hands. “Slothes spleese.”

“Give the girl her clothes,” the officer ordered to the lab assistant.

I watched as the assistant gathered my clothes from a nearby workbench. Everything appeared to be in infrared. The assistant came towards me like a child nearing a dog that had a history of biting. When he was within a few feet of me, the lab assistant chucked the clothes in a ball at my feet.

Bending, I picked up the black overalls and threaded one of my legs into them. Lurching from side to side, I looked at the lab assistant and shouted, “Selp smee!”

The assistant looked at me, trying to decipher what it was that I wanted.

“Help her put her clothes on,” the officer said as he tried to remove his radio from his shirt hoping he hadn’t drawn my attention to what he was planning to do.

Coming forward, the assistant bent down and pulled the legs of the overalls up to my waist. I leant against him for support and the assistant shuddered under my icy touch and…
