Your memories of a time before Frederic B. Coleman are dim, as though your life before was nothing. If it’s true, that he made you what you are now, then you can only imagine what he’ll make of you later.
Your bloated body, once a spectacle, is now the propulsion that you need to stay just a few bounds ahead of your pursuer. You don’t owe him anything. For all you brought to him, what did he ever give you? June bugs, whiskey, and whey.
The blood rings in your ears as you race for the lake, drowning out his shouts. Ringing, ringing for you, calling you not to the water but to the dining hall. His guests’ warped faces, both amused and disturbed, gave hint to what you were, but it was not until you caught your reflection in his sparkling silverware that you knew. You’d become monstrous. You were afraid too.
You leap and lunge, the force of each landing stirring mosquitos from their patterns. Your tongue had been a fly catcher, but these massive feet, they slap like flyswatters. You’ve never gotten used to your mass, you struggle to bend this body to your will. Your skin stretched, taut and slimy, your bones are heaving beams.
Just ahead, the lake beckons. New ice forming on the water’s edge gives way to you, crashing through. You are but one of hundreds swimming in the darkness, drifting shapes in closed eyes. But, you aren’t the only aberrant form sinking deeper: a bottle has been dropped, packed full with some foreign substance. With it comes understanding. You may have only a moment more before the shockwave hits.
Still, you spend the moment thinking of him. Blasts such as these are known to take bystanders: you hope he’s watching; closely, close by. Maybe your body will drift away. Maybe your body will be rent apart. Maybe no one else will ever know of your existence.<</message>> </center> </div><center><<button "Pause Audio">>
