The cyborg arm wasn't all it was cracked up to be. It had seemed fine, at first--good and stronger than her injured arm was. The pain in her joints had gone away. The interface didn't look very good--but she'd just looked away. It didn't keep her from getting laid; novelty could do wonders for a girl's prospects in that department. It was kind of addictive, like getting a tattoo. It wasn't long before she was thinking, well, that hip had been bothering her for a while, and so had her knee and ankle. She would eventually have to get an old-fashioned hip replacement anyway. Why not skip ahead and get the better model? She'd saved enough to replace the hip--

Inspiration: A facebook friend talking about how she just wanted to skip ahead and get a cyborg replacement for her shoulder, which had been bothering her.
Story Potential: Low.
Notes: And instead the flesh gets all puffy around it and there's severe stump irritation and--well, in general, the usual irritations of prostheses, ramped up.
Surgery/Surgery, the ads whispered to her. Do it one way, and have an automatic default set up to flip the other when you like. She scowled at the ads. She'd damn well withstood all the pressure. She had her own face, the one she was born with, and she planned to keep it. It wasn't perfect, not even close, but it was hers, and that was what she cared about. Her mother hadn't been so picky, and the memory of a long line of strangers coming to pick her up from daycare, insisting they were her mother, still sometimes gave her nightmares.

Inspiration: The "Surgery" song from Repo: The Genetic Opera was stuck in my head.
Story Potential: Low.
Notes: Meh. I was thinking, "And then aliens come that will only deal with people wearing their true face," and then I realized that was way too complicated along with the surgery.
