“Sheesh! You dolt. Water’s supposed to be next,” the voice squawked,

soon died out, and the atomic light—as impossible as it sounds—quickly
condensed into a single glowing stream that disappeared into D’s hand.

Or, to be more precise, into the tiny mouth that’d opened in the palm of his
hand. And just how voracious was that mouth? Well, the ultracompact
reactor the lamp was equipped with was supposed to be enough to power
the atomic flame for more than a decade, but in less than two minutes its
color faded, it flickered, and finally it went out.
