My Metamorphosis

It's just another day, there I am laying in bed dreaming peaceful things. But all of a sudden everything vanishes as my alarm clock goes off! The moment I open my eyes, I am looking at this overly obese person in the mirror, that hangs across from my bed... At first I can't believe what I am looking at. So in attempt to resolve the issue, I try to go back to bed. However, I get an itch on my right thigh. Desperately, I try to scratch at it. I soon realize that I have become overly obese! So huge that I can't move my limbs! Not only am I panicing about my self-appearance but the fact that the itch on my right thigh is growing unbearably!

I can't move anywhere. I am simply stationed on my, thankfully, comfortable bed. I lay there with my thoughts. How did this happen? Why me? Will this ever go away? What do I do now? All of these questions were forming in my head and I had a difficult time trying to resolve them. I couldn't reach my laptop or my phone because they were across my room. My last resort would be to call to my roommate, Taylor, to see if he could assist me. So I decided to do that.

I frantically began to yell for him. He stumbled out of his bed in the other room and asked what was wrong. I told him he would not believe what happened... Giggling from the other room, he soon came over and opened my door. Instantly he was overcome by shock. He asked if I was alright and how the hell did this happen. I being a smart-ass, told him I had no clue.

I then told him to grab my phone. He did so. When I had the phone I tried to call my parents at home. However I was so obese I couldn't even move my fingers! I asked Taylor to dial my home. When he did, he put it on "speaker" and tossed it onto my belly. After, he left to go make himself breakfast downstairs.

When my mom picked up the phone. I just blurted out anxiously what I had turned into. She asked if I was on drugs. I replied with a firm "no". I basically told her to come up to Burlington ASAP! After she tried to comfort me, she hung up and I laid in my bed awaiting the arrival of my parents...

While I waited, I thought how could my peaceful dreams on just another day, lead to a dreadful nightmare??? I just hope that if I go back to bed, that the nightmare will go away!
