Trapped!

Trapped!

It was a dark and stormy night. Not really, though it was dark. I never expected to be stuck in this situation. No lights, no phone, no way of escape without help. What was I to do? 

Let me backtrack a little to give you a better picture. I was an old man. I had been at home minding my own business when I felt a slight pain in my chest. Living by myself there was no one around to complain about it to. Well, the pain grew in intensity. Next thing I knew I was gasping for breath. I tried to get to the phone to call for help, but couldn’t reach it. I heard a knocking at the door and then screaming. There were sirens in the background and then nothing. 

Then came the long wait, or at least it seemed like a long time. When I finally became cognizant of my surroundings, everything felt odd as if I was floating in something. I couldn’t move very far. Twisting and turning a bit was all I was capable of. It was like I was tied down. And I wasn’t the only one there it seemed, but there was no way to communicate. And as I said it was dark. So here I am.

But wait, now there is something pushing at me. I seem to be moving forward. And yes I can feel the light, though not see it. I’m being forced through a very small opening and then dropped on the ground. I’ve been saved. I can breathe again, someone is cleaning all the gunk that I’m covered with. I find it hard to stand up and move. Crawling on all fours seems my only choice. 

My eyes finally open. Though everything is a bit blurry at first, I can see that I’m in a big room. I’m also very small. What could have happened? Wait, I see a mirror across the room. Let me get a look at myself. Someone is picking me up and carrying me over to the mirror. 

OH NO! I’m..I’m… a CAT!

This can’t be true. It can’t be happening. I try to call for help but all I can get out of my mouth is…Meow. 

Researcher’s note: Dateline: 2045-10-10, Timestamp: 1545:36  – Our computer just lost the signal to the test subject’s human brain understanding. Hopefully, with the new upgrade from Apple that we’ve ordered, that should come next week, we will be able to continue this research and understand the full transference of consciousness in the resurrection process.

About hdh

I have been telling stories for over 40 years and writing forever. I am a retired teacher and storyteller. I hope to expand upon my repertoire and use this blog as a place to do writing. The main purpose is to give me and others that choose to comment, a space in which to play with issues that deal with storytelling, storytelling ideas, storytelling in education, reactions to events, and just plain fun stories. I explore some of my own writing throughout, from character analysis, to fictional, to poetry, and personal stories. I go wherever my muse sends me. Enjoy!
