Jim enters the enormous store which has replaced Grandall. His manager
Gregorio walks up to him and smiles. "Jim, just who I needed to see. You
are to start immediately on your new post. All contracts in our old company
were voided since Grandall doesn't exist anymore. As a result you can
choose to be unemployed or join our ranks. You can start on a higher rank
than the newbies" Gregorio says.
"I suppose I will join you since I can't afford to be unemployed right now"

his station. Yet this time he was on the conveyor belt, and he soon
realized the people going into the pasting machine were not all children,
but former employees. As he entered the pasting machine he could feel his
genetic material being ripped apart atom for atom before being pumped
through the tubes. His consciousness floated through the tubes towards a
mold in which he felt himself becoming rebuilt. When Jim could see again he
