He undoubtedly had the keys to the minivan in his hands, and as he looked inside, it was definitely his family's van. But how did this make any sense at all?! He was just driving his sports car! Yet everything inside the minivan looked exactly like the one back home, right down to the tiniest detail. At that, Eric's hands on his head started to itch.
"What the....AHH!" he cried out, pulling at his hair.
Right in front of his eyes, his hair seemed to be growing, and even turning a shade closer to the red the women in your family had, particularly your mother. Heck, his hair was already flowing past his ears and to his neck. Eric whimpered, clearly in distress by this point. He had to be in some weird dream, or nightmare. Perhaps that was more appropriate. He was starting to panic, questioning what was happening. It was in this paniked state that he happened to move his hands around his butt, making him jump and look behind him when he saw that it was bigger....and getting bigger!
"T-This can't be happening!" he cried out, feeling the softness of his growing butt. Even the jeans he wore were beginning to feel tighter.
At once, he jumped inside the minivan, getting himself out of sight at the very least. To say he was alarmed would be a severe understatement. What was happening to him? A very real dream? Somehow it didn't seem like one. He wondered what he should do, and after thinking a bit, he ended up getting out his phone, calling his mom's number since he tended to call her whenever there was an emergency.
"Hello?" Natalie picked up on the other side.
"M-Mom?!" Eric squeaked out. "Um....s-sorry to call but....I think something's wrong with me."
"Oh, sounds like nerves to me," Natalie said caringly. "I know college can seem daunting at times. I got cold feet myself when going myself."
"Y-Yeah but....." Eric stuttered a bit. "I just...feel really strange."
"Just take a deep breath and calm yourself," Natalie advised. "Trust me, a few breaths and you'll feel right as rain. Oh, sorry honey, I gotta get something quick. Love you."
"Love you," Eric meekly replied.
After hanging up, Eric tried doing what she said, taking in deep breaths to calm himself. He wondered if it was working, as his hair appeared to be continually growing, going past his back. He tried to block it out, saying it was all in his head.
"It's just....all in my head..." he said as he started the car. "All in my head."  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
