It blurred the edges of her vision and her reason. Now clouds of steam billowed and surrounded the table, lending an unreality to this thing she undertook. “You think I don’t know that?” Wasn’t it why she could allow no one-other than these lost waifs and misfits who already surrounded her-into her life? How could she expect an ordinary, sane man to accept the woman she was? Either she created her own husband, or she took none at all. Ruella and I stripped and washed him down.” “You know you’re going to have to touch him.” Still obviously uneasy, Georgina rejoined Clara at the table. Appropriate somehow-that would be the first thing her subject heard when he awoke. Once it got going, the system thudded like a heartbeat. Immediately the familiar clatter started, the gurgle as water began drawing through the system. Georgina walked to the corner and switched on the generator, which came awake with a rumble as the boiler lit. And the breath of life was more easily received by warmed flesh. It helped if the subject awakened in an environment that was moist and heated, akin to the womb. The room needed to be warm-she had learned that during past experiments.
