I hear my phone's alarm go off and attempt to reach over to shut it off. To my surprise my body feels foreign and won't cooperate with me. I look down and what I see is not me. What I see is not human. What I see is the body of an insect.
I immediately try to scream but no sounds come out, at least not human ones. Just a faint buzz. I look down at my disgusting body along with my tiny forearms and legs and try to figure out what to do. I have class soon but that is the least of my worries. How can I continue living my life as this...this thing. I try to get out of my lofted bed but it is a very taxing task. I eventually use momentum to roll myself off the edge of the bed but I forgot how high I was off the ground. I close my eyes and brace for impact but a weird instinct kicks in. I open my eyes to find out that I'm hovering above the ground.
As I am accessing my current situation I hear a knock at my door. It’s my roommate telling me to get in the shower now or ill miss the shuttle to campus. We have the same class so we usually warn the other if one of us oversleeps. I can’t reply to him and he starts to yell telling me to get my ass out of bed. My door is not looked so he opens it to find a large insect hovering in the middle of the room. All I see in his face is shock and he doesn't say a word. I land and try to stumble my way over to him to try to communicate but he runs away in fear. I just stand on the floor of my room and wait and sure enough he comes back and I make an effort to try to give a sigh of relief. But when I see what he is holding I freeze for in his hand is a bottle of Raid and he is pointing it right at me.
I have no idea why half of my post is a different color but I can't seem to change it so I'm going to just roll with it.
