Ruth angled her right arm
up vertically, hand in front of her face, and laid her left arm flat so the tip
of her fingers touched the right elbow.
It was an ‘L’. Imperfect if she did it or if I did it, but
the intros to all the Lucentology videos and the cover of Forward, the Lucentology guidebook,
featured a slender, genderless figure whose arms were positioned so that the
‘L’ their arms made looked comfortable, not too bendy or painful - the way a
normal person would manage the position, sockets and joints being what they
are.
That ‘L’, right hand
hitting the head, left elbow near the heart, the only supplies you needed to
change and move forward into the person you were meant to be. To become ‘lucid’.
