Insistance




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.
