LIFE EDIT

Damon Knight

[23 may 2002-proofed for #bookz]

Maureen Appleforth opened the door, saw that the little

conference room was empty, walked in, and let the door close behind

her. She pulled out a chair and sat down. One day away from her

twenty-ninth birthday, Maureen Appleforth had reddish brown hair

with a natural wave, and she was neither too plump nor too thin, but

just right.

After a moment the door opened and a young man came in with a

machine under his arm. He had sleek brown hair and looked like the

kind of man who smoked a pipe. He saw Maureen and looked

surprised. "Ms. Appleforth? I was just going to set up the life editor.

I'm Brian Orr."

He offered his free hand and she took it for a moment with her

cool fingers. "I'm a little early," she said.

"That's all right. Better early than never." He laughed briefly and

set the machine down on the table. Then he uncoiled a thick cable and

plugged it into an outlet. "Would you sit over here please, Ms.

Appleforth? We won't start until you're ready, but I just want to do

some calibrations first." He pulled two leads out of the machine and

showed her the cuffs at the ends of them. "Okay to put these on you?"

She said, "Will it hurt?"

"No, not a bit. Take off your watch, please." He wrapped the

cuffs around her wrists; the cuffs were soft but a little tight. He tapped

keys on the pad in front of him and looked at the screen. "You're a bit

nervous," he said. "Is this a voluntary decision on your part?"

"Not entirely. They told me I couldn't go any higher in the

company unless..."

"But you don't want to do it?"

"No."
