Dummy 13

Today I printed a Dummy 13 action figure on my 3D printer.
There were sixty-one components to assemble.
It felt great to make a fully functional human body with my hands.
The precise fit and the satisfying click when parts snapped into place felt good.
The plastic components were smooth, and the colors were bright.
It took me more than an hour to assemble the Dummy.
It looked really life like with all joints moving as in a human.

I am paralyzed from chest down and it gave me a
sense of freedom to manipulate the action figure.
I performed physiotherapy on it—lifting the legs,
bending the knee, flexing the ankle and moving the toes.
After some time, I got bored and made him sit on top my computer.
I put a sword in his right hand and a gun in his left.
Seeing the Dummy sitting on my computer made me superior.
I could at least move my arms and head!
