I asked Squik about the Egg Man. I told him the stories Luci had told me.

I said are they true?

Heck no he said.

Fucking dumb bitch Squik said.

I said then what’s in apartment 314.

Squik said Ralph lives there. He’s one of those egg heads.

I said what are egg heads?

Squik said egg head is actually a slur. You don’t want to call him the Egg Man to his face. It’ll piss him off.

He took a swig of wine.

He said egg heads have these massive brains that can get up to ten times or twenty times the weight of their actual body. Some egg heads have rods and pulleys rigged up to hold their head in the air. Most of them have heads so large that they can’t even leave their apartment, like Ralph.

He said they are disgusting, but perfectly harmless.

I said are they mutants or something?

Squik said they aren’t born with mega-brains. Their company implants the mega-brain into them.

I said for what purpose?

He said the mega-brains store company information. They don’t need to keep paper records anymore, they can just download their records into an egg head’s brain.

I said what happens if the egg head dies?

He said many egg heads are hooked up to machines that manage their health. The machines will keep them alive for fifty years longer than an average human. If the human dies the machines are still able to save the brain and preserve it until the information can be passed on to a new host.

I said how do you know all of this?

He said I’m a Sound. I’m in the know.

I didn’t know what being a Sound had to do with it.

He said besides, egg heads are all over the place. I’m surprised you haven’t heard of them before. I always used to see them walking around the streets with their enormous 15-foot brains hovering above them.

I said they can carry something that big?

He said yeah, I remember the brains were always sopping with sweat and smelled terrible. Fetus flies would get stuck to the sides of their heads. Spiders would build webs in the folds of the brain.

I said who the hell would ever want to go through that?

He said some people get implanted as kids and their company doesn’t give them a choice. Others are paid a considerable amount of money.

I said there’s no amount of money anyone could pay me to go through that all my life.
