unbreakablebenHe wakes up and it feels like the worst morning-after in his entire life, worse even than the Everclear and Tequila night. He watches the pink thing near his eyes because it's easier than trying to remember. The pink thing twitches and he hears a squeak. The ground is dry and there are no plants.
"It's like a..." Words fail him but he's glad it's not hot. The pink thing twitches again and his eyes follow it down to the gray matted fur and teeth. Small eyes stare back at him as it eats a piece of cheese. "Rat," his over taxed mind says. "No desert. I'm in a desert and that is a rat. Am I in Tijuana? Shouldn't I be hot?" He doesn't feel hot. What he feels is heavy. He's laying on the ground and getting up feels like the hardest thing in the world. The ground's soft though, almost like a bed.
He hears a scrapping sound and his eyes track to it. He stares at two pairs of feet in sandals for a long time before his mind connects again to say, "People." He look up and he sees two kids staring, slack jawed. "Hey," he says to be neighborly.
The kids stare for a moment before one screams and they run away. "What the heck?" he thinks as he heaves himself to a sitting position. From there he rises to stand. "What's the wrong with you?" he calls after the kids as they round a corner past a pack of stray dogs.
"Hey, what are you...?" he calls after them as he begins to follow. By his third step he feels the earth shiver beneath him. "Earthquake? Is that why they're freaking out?" Another foot fall and the pack of stray dog is knocked off their feet before they scamper back to run away.
"What is everybody..." he muses as a fire hydrant breaks near him, spewing water into the air. He pauses finding it so hard to think clearly. There's a flash of Reed, that cute girl of his and her brother. Then that smug, condescending smirk of Van Damme's. The blinding light and then the pain. "Um..."
Something shoves him hard in the back, not enough to knock him over but enough to get through his muddled thoughts. Before he can look over his shoulder though a shadow blocks out the sun. He looks up into the terrified eyes of the farmer and his chickens as an old pickup truck flips over him to come crashing down. "Did that truck hit me?"
"Uh, um...I need some help here!" he says into the stunned silence. He finally looks down and sees arms, legs and a torso that belong to a monster. He flinches in fear and sees the arms do the same. The realization hits just before he passes out. "That's me!"
