A story with elements of science fiction that seem to me more like a social critique. the body's need for an uncontrolled dream: The body dimorphism that is announced in the simple sentence
At that stage it was an addiction similar to tattoos, one bodily adjustment led to another. And Edna was no wallflower; when she started something, there was no turning back.
You seem to be creating a heroine.
@gracielaacevedo :-) a heroine for tattoo aficionados, perhaps! Yes I think you are right there is something of a social critique in here and as I wrote in the summary line, for me this story was a way of thrashing out something to do with eugenics and epigenetics. I hope it was as amusing as the topic can be ;-) Thank you for your comments!
