Like hummingbird knuckles (only smaller), the impulses hovered and darted about, happy, if a little edgy, to be part of something bigger than usual. Back at the brains, a couple of syna pses were having a hard time of it. Whew. The twins were fast asleep and knew nothing of this. One of them dreamed of a great, glowing light. There is always work to be done in a hospital, because doctors haven't been able to get everyone to sleep, die, and eliminate wastes at the same time every one else does.
