“Yeah, but how is Beartruck even going to be a thing unless the bear part of Beartruck has at least got a learner's?” Unable to believe she managed to ask that question with even a partial poker face intact, Sam fought hard to maintain her composure. “Someone would've had to go 'hey, could we teach a bear to drive?' and since you know what people are like, you know the bear in question would be getting coached in parallel parking before someone said 'we could, but should we?'”
Will's skeptical look met the same smile Sam wore before, and she shrugged. “'Mars Is Heaven,' 'The Jar,' 'The Skeleton,' and a couple of others I can't remember the titles of off the top of my head. 'Uncle Einar' is a good one, and 'There Was an Old Woman,' and 'The Haunting of the New.' Granted, those aren't the stories you'll find the answer in, but they're worth reading anyway. Oh, and 'The Man Upstairs!' That one's kind of gross and really, really good.” Just recalling it made her want to reread it.
Sam held both hands up in a wordless 'whoa, no,' stood and stretched. “MRI's don't make you burn. They only might if you have a tattoo, especially if the ink is red... or black. See, those colours can have iron in them, and that'll react like a fork in a microwave. Not that dramatic, since the iron particles are so small, but... it wouldn't be fun for me. Probably only a portion of my tattoos have the ink with iron, but I wouldn't know which, and I'm not keen to learn like that. Though, it's not all bad.” She shouldered her bag again, a little amused.
“Some tattoo inks use the same industrial-strength pigments used in automotive paint, which I think is kinda cool.”
