Man No More

Pain. Unimaginable pain. Only for an instant and then, nothing. I'm strapped to something. A bed. I remember now. An operation. I look down at my hand. It's mostly metal, with something trying to pass for flesh over it. I remember now. They wanted a weapon they could control. A lapdog.

A small man in a lab coat tells me the procedure was a success. I feel power surging through me.

I snap his neck with a flick of my wrist.

"I know," I tell him as his body falls lifeless to the floor.

I'm going to enjoy this.
