Darrow 3

My body is not all that changes. Before I sleep, I drink a tonic laden with
processing enhancers and speed-listen to The Colors, The Iliad, Ulysses,
Metamorphosis, the Theban plays, The Draconic Labels, and restricted
works like The Count of Monte Cristo, Lord of the Flies, Lady Casterly's
Penance, 1984, and The Great Gatsby. I wake knowing three thousand
years of literature and legal code and history. The side effect is that I
sometimes go spasmodic from "brain shock" when I pass a strong
electromagnetic signal. Mickey says that will go away. All Golds go
through the process as children. There are no long-term cognition
improvements. Only short-term processing.
