Hypnotize the Worm

in Freewriters21 days ago

It's great to be a worm, mom said, if they cut you in half there are two of you.

It would have sounded strange if not her other part started talking to me.

Just live your life, son, was what she said, you'll see the entire earth is your home. Feel free to dig around and eat as much soil as you...

She abruptly stopped talking to me since a high heel was pinned right through her middle. I thought that part of her was dead till my father said:

No need to worry son. We worms are unbeatable. We might be small but we live a great life underground and are more gifted than those people. Let me tell you a secret... I am not only your father but also your mother.

I didn't know what to say. It all sounded crazy to me or was it just one of those bad hair days I had heard people speak about?

Sorry old man but I need some space. I can't hang around with you any longer. I need to go up, have to be at the surface 'cause you folks drive me nuts.

My mom didn't say a word. She was still recovering and hoped she would grow another better half.

Be careful don't let anyone hook you up, my parent answered before he turned his back on me. I ate my way out of the ground in the hope of a more colourful surface.

Look what's that, a voice shouted and the earth shook as a shadow came closer soon it would cover me.

Let's try out if your uncle is right, let's hypnotize the worm and ask how his life so far has been.

A round glass appeared above me and a beam of light passed through it. The world changed colours, streaks, and waves it all revolved around me. I felt nauseous and sick although not to the bone and all I could think of was I'm lost.

Worm, said a voice, listen, concentrate watch the light. Answer if I snap with my fingers... tell me how was your day?
