'How I Came to Bits' - Chapter Six of 'How I Came to Be'.

They came in with a big ugly raygun and zapped me good.

They took out the bits that did and would.

I began to disintegrate.

They put my sugars in the Tate.

I thought I was evolved.

But instead I was dissolved.

The water flowed out of me and splashed out of the door.

The chemicals crystalised all over the floor.

Thats how I came to bits.
