Thor is a puzzle

Jesus, what a pain. Another amputation. They were routine by now for Thor -- first the thumb, then the big toe, an ear, an elbow. Now they wanted to carve out the belly button, just go at it with an ice cream scoop, and Thor no longer had the energy to object. Take it, she said. Take it all. So pop went the navel, and Thor left the office without the knot in her stomach.
