SCISSORS

“Its easier to describe the threshold of divine revelation than the working of a pair of scissors.”

C.S.Lewis

And I took this personally.

Children’s scissors, pocket scissors, kitchen scissors, nail scissors and fabric scissors all are light are reliable.

You might not use the product for any other purpose other than cutting light material. Material made to be cut, tools dissecting other artificial layers. The blades are sharp, and the part of the stainless-steel structure that ends with an edge must be faced against the surface that’s meant to be pierced or wounded.

You need to have the scientific knowledge to predict if the strength applied with the organic embrace over the mechanical lever system is going to be enough to perform the duty for what the scissors were created for or not.

Trying it with hard materials will leave the sharp metal useless.

Use the common sense. If you should feel uncomfortable or feel pain while using the scissors please stop immediately.

Phalanges, calcium made structures, surrounded by fibres, muscle and cartilage. Skin tissue wrapping the articulated prehensile instrument. Regenerates, the old giving way to the new unceasingly. Five appendixes. The first, index, the alpha, and the last, thumb the omega, fold themselves to embrace the artificial, the mechanic.


A tool made by tools. Plastic, steel, metal, screws, and rivets giving birth to other dead beings. A self-opening handle which is working in a soft and smooth way and with low spring pressure. Observe that no distal finger control is required for the handles of environmentally friendly plastic.


Polypropylene. Infinite chains of molecules synthetized from old bones, mud, flesh. Fossilized, and then brought back again as a never-ending engine.

These scissors should be always kept away from children. Non fully formed homo sapiens individuals do not have the drive, vision, or execution capability to perform the noble act of cutting without supervision. The criteria to define what a fully formed human adult is may be left to the user.

Cut paper.
Cut cardboard.
Cut fabric.
Cut tape.
Cut the cover of a book.
Cut it.
Do it and do it now.

Cut a finger. The Newtonian power applied to the mechanism to cut the flesh and the bone is similar that the one needed to chop one of those small baby carrots.

Do it. Cut it.

Tissue breaking. Neuronal connections stopping. Shock. Silence. A sound, a buzzing tempest going through the blood stream, running to stop the disaster.

And the red liquid coming out. First as a shy droplet that appears. Scarlet, shiny. Timidly strolling over the skin. And another one. The wound opens to a waterfall that makes the blades dirty. The plastic is fully covered in blood. The fingers abandoning their ergonomic position. The scissors falling down to the floor now that nothing is holding onto them.
