Reintegration

I give to you a story in eleventy-one words... (Please note that this is a continuation of the story posted on March 6th.)

Reintegration is a tricky business. If not disintegrated expertly, transformations can range from horrific to comical. Still, it is better to be disintegrated by a kindhearted buffoon than a malicious disintegrator since the latter can scramble innards like a whisk can eggs.

An expert can, of course, control all aspects of the process from the first to the last molecule; those old enchantresses can make the process an absolute pleasure or a stark lesson in pain no matter their moral leanings.

For him who fell through that loose grate, the process proved downright agonizing. After all, it’s unwise to lose patience with any Integrator never mind one as powerful as she.
