I stood up too fast after a hot bath about 2.5 weeks ago. Got dizzy and went down, hit my head on the faucet. All is good and fixed by doctors now but this is definitely a permanent scar.

Stood up too quickly after a hot bath two weeks ago. Went down and hit the faucet. Went to urgent care and all is good now.

LeGuin, Left Hand of Darkness

Leckie, Ancillary Justice
Wells, All Systems Red
VanderMeer, Annihilation
plus some short stories by Wells, CL Moore, Ted Chiang
