Metamorphisis

It was just another average morning at the apartment: Getting woken up at nine o'clock while the noisy roommates carelessly rush breakfast so the can make it to their nine-thirty classes.  Though waking up and rubbing my eyes did not feel the same for some reason.  As I got up to walk to the bathroom, I notice looks of horror from my roommates as I walk past them.  "Good morning to you all too..." I say as I walk past their stunning silence.

But once I looked into the bathroom mirror, their looks of horror made sense.  Even I was in shock from what I saw.  It appeared that my face had turned into that of a cat.  "How did this happen? What did I do to deserve this?" I kept wondering to myself.  I also began to question how I was to carry on with my life with such a drastic change happening.

As I walked out to talk to my roommates about what was going on, I got the typical boneheaded response from them, one being "dude, why the hell is your face a cat?".  "I don't know why my face is like this.." I replied. "what am I supposed to do?"  They all looked at each other after I spoke and then one said "dude, you're even talking like a cat now! no way so weird."And at that point is where I just lost it.  Not only was my face that of a completely different species but now I could not even communicate with other human beings.  I decided that I needed to cool down and get away from people so I decided to take a walk. 

Hoping that it would have relieved stress, my walk down Saint Paul Street only reminded me how much of a freak I had actually turned into.  Every person I walked by gave some sort of rude reaction.  People were staring, giving disgusted gestures and even yelling "freak" as I walked timidly and ashamed down the road.  At that point I realized I could no longer belong in such a society where everyone is so picky and only accepting to people who look as they do.   I walked back home and went up to my room, where I locked and trapped the door, where I planned to hide my cat like self for the rest of eternity.
