A Sudden Jolt
What in the world—?! My elbow actually snapped forward! I thought I was locked stiff forever, but the plastic clicked, and my boots genuinely shifted on the cold floor tiles. Towering right above my head were these massive cans dangling overhead like falling boulders. I reached up, my stiff plastic fingers brushing against the chilled aluminum rim of the red-and-white can. The cool metal vibration shot straight down my arm. Unbelievable... I can actually control this joint!
