So someone 10^6 know invited us to the coroner’s office to look at an autopsy today… 10^3 wasn’t too interested at the beginning, since they were mostly boring male humans… until 10^6 saw the door to the room that changed our life: it was labeled “Decomps”… when I asked my acquaintance, he told me it was where they kept the bodies that were found in different stages of decomposition and would keep them separate so their smell would not disturb the other people in the morgue. That’s when 10^6 became really excited and begged to do one of those autopsies! Imagine all the wonderful species of bacteria growing in harmony from what used to be an evil, destructive human criminal! After begging repeatedly for it, he conceded…

The decent happened to be a gang member that was shot and left to rot in an empty field. His abdomen was swollen and green from the activity of all the gas-producing gram negatives in his gut; his veins were all blackened (they called it marbling) from the H2S his bacteria made… his mouth and nose bubbled from all the gas our kin were producing! Oddly enough, they couldn’t understand 10^9’s excitement and how we actually loved the smell! Still, the autopsy was done and 10^9 saw how our kin grew strong and abundant, returning this wasteful eukaryote to the beautiful entropy of nature! All organs were mushy, soft and bloody… 10^6 were particularly fascinated by the look of his decomposing intestines. Our acquaintance said all this decomposition didn’t let him see much detail… but 10^12 found it to be the most fascinating experience in our last doubling time!
