The years pass
as smoothly as water, and it is with extreme care that Cynthia does not come to
hear the title Human Canvas or
understand what it means. Prototype
and experiment are words disallowed
in her presence.
They are few of
many things disallowed around Cynthia.
Mother and father are
equally distant concepts, though she hears the words.
There are
innumerable rules regarding the project: her eating habits, the sounds and
conversations she is allowed to hear, the questions she can ask or be asked.
No one tells
Dr.Kane’s son these rules.
