“The Institute of Zodiac Surgery, of Plastic Surgery for Zodiac Signs. You get your sign changed there in the way you might have your face changed. But how can the patients’ astrological signs be changed? Can you change constellation by astrological passes? A long process, with an uncertain outcome. As easy solution: we must draw on the signs of the dead (trade in life signs, like the trade in ‘live’ organs, being illegal and immoral). Call up the dead, the zombies, the wandering souls, take their signs from them and transplant these on to living individuals, after first removing their original signs. All this can lead to processes of rejection, which are very dangerous, as the patient then ends up without any sign at all, which is as serious as losing your own shadow.”
