Huffing, I took the phone in my hands and chucked it at the pasty white wall, watching it break into a dozen pieces. In an effort to calm myself down I placed my elbows on the counter and put my hands over my face. I counted my breathing. 1 in, 2 out, 1 in, 2 out. Times like these I was grateful I had a deadbeat as a father, a party animal as a mother, and I lived alone. If anyone saw me like this they would surely put me in the nearest asylum. The counting wasn't working. Even with my eyes closed I could feel body shaking. It was as if the vibrating started from the center of my bones and radiated out, affecting every nerve in my body. I couldn't do anything to stop it. I was helpless. And nauseous. Standing up straight I looked up. Everything I saw had a red hue to it. Everything. The wall i was staring began to blur, not even the dents that were so obvious before could be seen. What was happening? I needed air.
Making my way to the back porch, I stared up at the blackened sky. I could feel the droplets of sweat make their way along my hairline, dripping down my jaw. Not even the cool night air could relieve the heat that was taking over my body.
All at once, I felt as if a had been kicked in my abdomen. Doubling over, I gasped to catch my breath, but all I accomplished was a few hallow pants. I suddenly felt a sicking tearing feeling all through my body. It started at the base of my spine, making it's way up and through every nerve of my vertebrate. It was in every muscle, every tissue in my body. For a second it was as if my body was clay. It had no form. And then it happened. I felt my limbs extend, suddenly holding much more power than they ever had. My torso was elongated as my spine hunched over in an inhuman shape. As I laid on the ground, I felt the vulnerabilities creep up on me. I heard everything. From the cars turning on the highway two miles away from where I was to my neighbor yelling at his T.V. set. I didn't want to open my eyes because then this was real. All of it. I wanted to escape. But as I felt myself instinctively howl, I knew there was no escape.
