Charles Yu | Standard Loneliness Package
Root canal is one fifty, give or take, depending on who’s doing it to you. A migraine is two hundred. Not that I get the money. The company gets it. What I get is twelve dollars an hour, plus reimbursement for painkillers. Not that they work. I feel pain for money. Other people’s pain. Physical, emotional, you name it.

Joe R. Lansdale | Tight Little Stitches in a Dead Man’s Back
(Boom!) That’s a little scientist joke, and the proper way to begin this. As for the purpose of my notebook, I’m uncertain. Perhaps to organize my thoughts and not to go insane. | Copyright 1986 Joe R. Lansdale. First appeared in Nukes edited by John MacLay. Reprinted by permission of the author.

Joe Haldeman | More Than the Sum of His Parts
21 August 2058. They say I am to keep a detailed record of my feelings, my perceptions, as I grow accustomed to the new parts. To that end, they gave me an apparatus that blind people use for writing, like a tablet with guide wires. It is somewhat awkward. But a recorder would be useless, since I will not have a mouth for some time, and I can't type blind with only one hand. | Copyright 1985 by Joe Haldeman Originally appeared in Playboy.
