Those of Us Who See The Light Shall Speak Of It Forever
And then my mom comes in with her face on tight and her hands on her hips. Until she points at me and says [italics] You're out of line, Mister! [italics] But that sounds a lot lighter and the sound of my arms on the ground is more like what it would sound like if my bulldozer was really falling into a giant hole in the ground. Or off the side of a really tall cliff.
The bones in my arms were vibrating like they were flag poles and someon just hit them with a baseball bat. Which I did once at school. Because I was pretending it was a giant robot with lasers. It made my hands feel like they were bieng poked by thousands of little needles. Which is how my hands kind of felt then. But it was hard to tell because I didn't always feel my body. Which is really weird. But I dcouldn't feel much of my legs. It seemed like they were twisted around each other like two tree trunks that are too close together. But then sometimes I couldn't feel them at all like I didn't even have legs. WHich some people don't and it makes me kind of nervous when I see them. Because I wonder what life would be like if you didn't have legs. ANd I know it would be really hard because you'd have to be in a chair all th time and you would never be able to climb up stairs. Which would be really bad if there was a fire and you lived on the tenth floor like I do. ANd the elevators stopped working.
When I couldn't feel my legs my body would get really cold and icy until it hurt. So even though I couldn't feel my legs, they still made me want to cry. And it felt like someone was grabbing at my arm. But I couldn't getll because my eyes just kept switching between dark fireworks and the bright spiderwebs. And if I wanted to turn my head it didn't amtter. Because it wasn't listening to me at all.
And I could hear lots of people staning around me and a lady was shouting [what was she shouting?]. And I could hear loud scrapping noises. Which I thought was probably all the chairs being moved away from me. Which was good because I would hit them if they were closer and I was already hitting the floor.
My arms burned and my legs disappeared and turned to ice. And my eyes flipped back and forth from dark to light and I wondered where the mas was as the rock in my head grew bigger.
