Before my many years’ service in a restaurant, I attended a top science university. At that time, I was finishing the project that would win me my professorship. In the end, it resulted in my becoming a kitchen employee.
My forty-second birthday had made a lonely visit the week before, and I was once again by myself in the flat. Like countless other mornings, I ordered a donut from the toaster. "Yes, sir!" it replied with robotic relish, and I began the day’s work on the project. It was a magnificent machine, the thing I was making—capable of transferring the minds of any two beings into each other’s bodies.
As the toaster began serving my donut on to a plate, I realized the project was in fact ready for testing. I took out the duck and the cat—which I had bought for this purpose—from their containers, and set about calibrating the machine in their direction. Once ready, I leant against the table, holding the donut I was too excited to eat, and initiated the transfer sequence. As expected, the machine whirred and hummed into action, my nerves tingling at its synthetic sounds.
The machine hushed, extraction and injection pipes poised, scrutinizing its targets. The cat, though, was suddenly gripped by terrible alarm. The brute leapt into the air, flinging itself onto the machine. I watched in horror as the nozzles swung towards me? and, with a terrible, dizzy whirl of colours, I felt my mind wrenched from its sockets.
When I awoke, moments later, I noticed first that I was two feet shorter. Then, I realized the lack of my limbs, and finally it occurred to me that I was a toaster. I saw immediately the solution to the situation—the machine could easily reverse the transfer—but was then struck by my utter inability to carry this out.
After some consideration, using what I supposed must be the toaster’s onboard computer, I devised a strategy for rescue. I began to familiarize myself with my new body: the grill, the bread bin, the speaker and the spring mechanism. Through the device’s eye—with which it served its creations—I could see the internal telephone on the wall. Aiming carefully, I began pushing slices of bread at it. The toaster was fed by a large stock of the stuff, yet as more and more bounced lamely off the phone, I began to fear its exhaustion.
The accident was triggered by________.
