[ WP ] You get a deep cut for the first time in your life , instead of bone or muscle , you see wires .

Incredulous. 
 
 I find my mouth making the sound, `` heuh.. heuh.. heuh..''. 
 
 Staring down at the sliced sheathing to what looks like some really fine 30 gauge data transfer wire. Notice 24 MTP fiber in there too. Pretty classy for a complex computer system. Or robot... 
 
 The blood seeps from the wound around it, dribbling onto the floor, and into the wires housing. My blood. 
 
 I'm still holding the knife. I'm still crying. I'm still siting on the floor. 
 
 The internet lied, I do n't feel any better. I'm just as sad, only now my arm hurts. And I'm hallucinating. 
 
 I poke one of the wire with the knife, and my arm jerks. Pain: crystalline, frozen, white hot. Metallic. 
 
 I clench my fist and the cabling pulls forward. The wound does n't just sting around the opening anymore. There's a deep ache all the way from my wrist, up my arm and into my chest. 
 
 The phone rings. 
 
 My mom picks it up. 
 
 `` Uh huh, uh huh. Could be nothing. I'll check the unit for anomalous readings. Yeah. I'll pack it. Thanks, bye.'' 
 
 Footsteps. 
 
 She knocks on my door. 
 
 `` Sweetie, is everything ok?'' 
 
 *'' Does your arm hurt? `` *
