"Addition"

En paragraph av boken Addition skrevet av Toni Jordan

After a few days on the madication I develop the weirdest sensation of having two brains - one in charge of the abstract thoughts and concepts and the other in charge of my body. If I want to walk or scratch my nose, my two brains have to sit down together in the crimson-upholstered room that is my actual brain and discuss it. They sit facing each other across a large walnut desk. The abstract brain, who is very polite, asks the practical brain if she would very much mind moving my leg. And the physical brain, similarly charming and eager to please, is delighted to assist. Luckely they are fast talkers, so my leg can do its thing in a fraction of a second. No one even knows about the delay except us three.
