“Is this Limbo?” it asks a passing cat.

“Not anymore,” says the cat, “but they used to call it that, yes. It’s where you go when you can no longer be measured.”

“I suppose I should go adventuring.” The fetus wiggles an arm, probably. “Anything I’m going to need?”

“Just a weapon,” sighs the cat, and hands it a ruler.
