Chapter Ten Metamorphosis If
I’m not mistaken, it’s been about a two or three weeks since my mom and I moved
to Hale; and during those two weeks (or three), so much has already happened to
me"even
if some of those things were things that I couldn’t exactly explain. But it was
still a lot for someone to take in which is why I decided to sleep in this fine
Saturday morning. My mother left me to my rest several hours ago when
she left for the grocery store to grab a few quick things and then off to the
restaurant she went. The seafood
place had to prepare for
tonight because they were hosting some kind of big anniversary or something
like that"I only caught half of it because I was too tired to hear my mother’s
tedious words as my pillow engulfed me. I had a headache, which didn’t go away
until like my fifth Tylenol, but that only impeded the darn thing. My body was
exceedingly tired"probably because of all the excitement I had had this week, I
guessed. At around two in the afternoon, I finally woke up.
My body was drenched in sweat like I had just crawled out of a swimming pool
full of it. I was burning up even though my blankets were all shoved together
at the foot of my bed. My hair was sticking out everywhere, and my arms and
legs felt paralyzed like they were overwhelmed with exhaustion. I wanted to get up, but my limbs just
wouldn’t allow it. But finally"after much struggle"I managed to prop myself up
on the edge of my bed, even though my entire body slouched from tiredness. What’s wrong
with me? I asked myself. I felt
like I had just been forced to do a marines drill nonstop without a single
break. I sat for several minutes. A few more minutes passed by slowly in the
intimidating silence of my bedroom. Then I fell back onto my bed, giving up. I must have lain still for at least an hour, zoning
in and out of the world, until I ultimately decided to try again. This time I received partial success. I made it onto
my feet momentarily until I found myself face-up, towards the ceiling above,
and right back to square one: my bed. I must have really
been tired to not be able to use my body parts naturally. Maybe it was just
temporary or something; but I knew that I had to get up. So this time, I forced
myself onto my legs with all the energy I could muster, walked over to my
window, and opened my blinds a crack. When I did, I instantly knew it was a
mistake; I felt nearly blinded to death from the radiating sunlight, and was
forced to close the blinds back quickly. Unsteadily and roughly, I ended up making it downstairs
and into the kitchen where I used the counters for support. I felt drunk, only
with the hangover side effects. Suddenly, an explosion of pain erupted in my skull.
It felt like my head felt like it was going to detonate from agony. Then my vision
began to get a little muddled. One second I would see triplets of an object,
and the next, all I saw was a blur. It was like I was on a roller coaster ride
that was increasing its speed by the second. Abruptly, my skin began to tingle.
It wasn’t the pleasing tingle that I felt when I was with Summer"this was more
painful. It was more like a thousand needles trying to poke out of my skin. My arms felt as if they
were pulling in opposite directions, and both my legs being pulled down.
Torture was engulfing me, exposing me to its mightiest wrath. I let out a cry of pain. I could barely make out the house phone ahead of me
on the opposed counter that I was leaning upon. I tried to reach for it to call
someone for help, but I grasped nothing but air. When I walked towards it and
leaned forward to clutch it with my aching body practically screaming at me, I
collapsed, feeling one last jab of pain as my head hit the hard floor. I found
myself in eternal darkness. © 2010 Joshua DonahueAuthor's Note
