Cyberman

They took my skin today.

Just peeled it off like so much cling film wrap.

It's been replaced, of course. A silvery metal nano mesh. It does the same job as my old skin, but it's much sturdier.

So now I'm silver. A mannequin of flexible steel.

There is pain. I can feel it. But the add on machines buried in my brain assist me in more than just memory, and access to the mesh-net. They disconnect the pain. Turned it into just a flashing light on a console that can be ignored.

Do not be afraid of upgrading.
