‘It’s so dark… Where am I?’

(What happened to me? I remember jumping out to protect Tamura from that crazy guy with the knife, and getting stabbed instead.)

(So, did I pull through? Am I safe and sound in a hospital bed now?)

…

…

…

(I can’t see or hear anything… Could it be after lights out? Better find the call button…)

…

…

…

I tried to move, but I couldn't…

(Huh? Why won’t my limbs respond?! That’s crazy. My arms and legs couldn’t have been amputated! I only got stabbed in the back…)

(Could it be that… He somehow stabbed my spinal cord and paralyzed me? No, no, no… Anything but that!)

Suddenly, I felt myself “move”.

(Wait… I can move?! This feels weird… So, I am not paralyzed? This feels so trippy…)

I “moved” around and touched some… Left? Grass? Can’t tell… But it is a plant.

(Am I even in a hospital? I feel some grass thing under my stomach… Is it some decoration? I can’t smell anything though…)

(So I have no vision, no sense of smell, but at least I have a sense of touch… What about taste?)

(I’ll try eating this… Hope it isn’t poisonous or anything like that…)

I tried to open my mouth. But I can’t… Like I physically can’t.

(Wait… Where’s my mouth?!)

I felt the grass thing dissolve inside of my stomach…

(It dissolved?! Okay, I melted and absorbed the grass. So does this mean…)

(I’m not even human anymore?!)

(So… I did die… Just, stay calm and be cool. Confirm the boundaries of your body.)

I started to move my new found body as I already have a good guess of what I am already. Just had to make sure.

(Okay… I think I know what I am already… Wish I can see to confirm that…)

(The way I dissolved and absorbed that plant… The rounded curving body… The jiggly, gelatinous texture…)

(Well, I hate to admit this. But it seems that I, Satoru Mikami… Have been reborn as a slime…)
