    “How you doing, Dixie?”

    “I’m dead, Case. Got enough time in on this Hosaka to figure that one.”

    “How’s it feel?”

    “It doesn’t.”

    “Bother you?”

    “What bothers me is, nothin’ does.”

    “How’s that?”

    “Had me this buddy in the Russian camp, Siberia, his thumb was frostbit. Medics came by and they cut it off. Month later he’s tossin’ all night. Elroy, I said, what’s eatin’ you? Goddam thumb’s itchin’, he says. So I told him, scratch it. McCoy, he says, it’s the other goddam thumb.” When the construct laughed, it came through as something else, not laughter, but a stab of cold down Case’s spine. “Do me a favor, boy.”

    “What’s that, Dix?”

    “This scam of yours, when it’s over, you erase this goddam thing.”
