What happens when a kid gets unwound?

Answer 1

If you are talking about a book called "Unwind" by the author Neal Shusterman, then Unwinding has one meaning;

Unwind: To have parts of the body surgically and expertly removed, keeping the mind and body alive, but to keep the entire body completely numb. The person can see what's happening, but as in the book, one describes the feeling of their limbs being pulled, or tugged, which is the process of amputating a limb. In the book, this was a law; when a child reaches 13, he/she can be unwound by the parents if they no longer desire that child. If the child manages to reach the age of 18, he/she may be free from unwinding. But there are some children who chose to go AWOL, or run away from being unwound, as in this book, the main characters are unwinds who run away from home, knowing they will be unwound. The law requires that EACH part of the body be removed, without damage, and be used. That means that there cannot be any leftovers or unwanted pieces.

Of course, this is just a story, not real life situations. (I'm 15, and I'm talking like I should be in college!)
