`` Now, we shall remove the child with the ceremonial birthing instrument.'' 
 
 A doctor reclined back in a chair, pointing his feet at a woman in labor. Several other doctors did the same. He reached over, and feet, prehensile as the hands as they knew not of ( at least not yet ) grabbed a strange device, on that escapes my definition. No longer do we use it anymore, so no longer remains it an important detail. 
 
 However, in that moment, as the first cries of the child rang out in the hospital room, this instrument was vital. Slowly, they managed to get the baby out of his mother's womb, into the mother's own feet as they all came to a peaceful rest, clamoring around the child. 
 
 `` He's beautiful,'' the doctor said. `` He's- wait. What the hell?'' The doctor glimpsed something he'd never seen before. A child, with five fingers on both hands! A child with nine fingers total was incredibly rare. let alone ten! The other doctors scurried to write down this information as quickly as they could, mouths clasped around pens, feet working furiously to take pictures, record dates, names, other details. 
 
 `` Is he- is he alright?'' the mother asked, concern showing at the edges of her voice. 
 
 The doctor tried to offer the baby his finger. The baby, still shaking and whimpering, snatched out at his finger. With his hand, by itself. Incredulous, the doctor began laughing. More than laughing, he was joyous, his mood infecting everyone else. 
 
 `` More than alright,'' he said. `` Your child- and do n't ask me how exactly, has had a mutation. He can use his hands!'' 
 
 `` Impossible!'' the mother said. 
 
 `` Very possible,'' the doctor replied, the baby still holding his finger. `` With something like this, perhaps we can see more children in the world with this mutation, your child leading the charge. Imagine the revolution, imagine the change to society. He will push us all forward,''
