You're Most Valuable
Chapter One
6:49 A.M. Friday, November 20th
"Good morning, Hikaru, it's about 6:30
Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Just laying here in the bed, half awake, half asleep.
Thinking about you, uh...
I was, uh, wondering if you were looking after your
Most valuable possession, your mind.
I was thinking about John Glenn...
His space journey and all.
They said that when you're in space
You lose muscle mass and the body mass
And I wondered if there was any end to it
Or whether if you didn't exercise in space.
How long it would be for you were just
A head or a mind and have no body or arms
You would have them
But you couldn't use them.
I was wondering if, uh
If your body mass would drop to a certain level
And then it would stop right there
And keep whatever you needed to use your mind
'Cause it would still be working...
Thirty seconds remaining.
Anyway, I was just pondering that.
What do you think about that?
I hope everything is going alright.
I'm going to wake up here in a little while
And forget what I was thinking about."
The voice message had the twenty year old strawberry blond left in a dumbfounded state of mind. "What the hell was he going on about?" The elder twin wondered out loud as he removed his light icy blue robe with ease. Hikaru checked his wall calendar to discover that it was Friday, November 27th.
One week ago.
One week ago is when Kaoru left this message on his ocean blue cellphone.
Hikaru listened to the saved voice mail from Kaoru again and frowned in an unbelievable assumption. Something is uncanny about Kaoru's attitude and voice in that message. He seemed aloof and troubled about who knows what. By the time Hikaru was in his birthday suit and turning on the shower faucet, he decided to visit his twin brother in North Carolina today.
Hikaru finished his shower in less than five minutes and hurried through breakfast. The older Hitachiin twin brushed his teeth at the speed of lightning and combed his damp pumpkin colored hair. His hand fumbled blindly for his house keys and black leather wallet.
He slipped his right foot into one black winter snow boot and copied the same action with his left foot. His fingers manually twisted the lock on the inside and slammed it shut behind him.
Review please!
I do not own OHSHC. I do not own Ben Fold Five's song Your Most Valuable Possession.
