Zeroes (2015)
“Ken never really thought of himself as a limited being with edges, with walls, but now that those barriers have been torn away, he realizes just how restrictive the human meat really is. His mind—his soul!—stretches in all directions, almost infinitely. (Though even there, out in the expanse, he detects more edges, more walls, and the desire to push past them or eradicate them entirely is nearly overwhelming—think of how much bigger, stronger, more infinite he could become.) And to think he res...isted this.
The memory of what they did—Sandy shooting her pistol into his leg, her and that “proxy” dragging him back to the room of corpses, hooking his head up to one of those clamps, a little drill boring a hole through his skull wall (and with it, the smell of burning bone, cooking skin, charring hair)—remains, but the memory is no longer his, not really. He shares it with the memories of all who are in here with him.
He feels the pacemaker seize of Gordon Berry.
The tranquilizer used to abduct Alan Sarno from his brother’s office.MoreLess
