Chapter #6
A New Infancy
by: Unknown
"Oh, my boy, don't fall asleep." You wake to find yourself in Lord Prosperio's arms. He's rocking you. Darn! How did you fall asleep so quickly? "Don't fall asleep I need to read all of this. Then I'll take your foot, press it into the inkpad, and then here on the contract." You can only blearily make out the title "Permission for a New Infancy."
"I . . . . Well, little one I never got your name. Let me insert that. . . . I, Joseph William, consent to a new infancy beginning at one month of age ["Only one month. No wonder I can't keep my head up." Yawn.] and Lord Hugo Prosperio's care. I state clearly that I have not been forced. . . ."
That's the last thing you remember when you suddenly feel him press your feet against the desk. You scream uncontrollably. You know nothing is the matter, but you can't help yourself.
"No, Joey. Your fine. You haven't eaten for two or three hours." Let's solve that problem."
Your stomach does hurt. Hmmmm. . . . You were hungry for a hamburger when you arrived.
"Nurse," yells Lord Prosperio. "Nurse."
As Lord Prosperio hands you to the nurse, you just barely see him file the contract in his cabinet.
The nurse takes you to what must be your new room. You really don't know. You're hungry, and you don't know how to get anyone's attention except cry. As she sits, you wonder how you're supposed to let Lord Prosperio know you want to change back. As she turns you towards her, you realize you should have wondered about how, or what, you were about to eat, or drink.
