"There's not much left of before, if you know what I mean. They did a pretty hack job of erasing me though, so some of it's still there. I remember being hungry, and cold, but also pretty happy all things considered. It's all flashes, right? Sometimes I think there might have been a boy: that maybe..." "...Whatever. I know I remember the food truck. Standard Sally Anne, but not quite, if that makes sense. I remember that me and....and someone...the boy maybe. We were hungry, and the charity cases had food." "It's blurry after that. A lot of pain. I can remember a lot of the procedures; I don't think I was asleep for much of the operations. I remember once waking up and looking down. The doctors had my chest open, but there was nothing in it. I mean, there were wires and stuff sticking out, but my chest looked like an empty cavity ; like I was hollow. And one of the doctors, he had a chunk of me in his hands, but he just threw it in the bin with the rest of me. Just threw it away." Knockabout's past is vague. She knows that she was living on the streets; but she doesn't know for how long, or with who, or even why. </td> |
