Confessions Of A Man Who Had His Limbs Lengthened
How did you find out that limb lengthening was even an option?
I was hanging out with friends getting lunch and one of them jokingly brought up the surgery not directed at me but just that there are people who actually would do it.

This is how a professional orchestra auditions potential candidates for employment
