December 12, 1993
My mom stood over me with a strange liquid.
"This will cure the flu right out of you" my mom told me.
My mom was a strong believer that science was the cure to everything. We were currently standing in an underground government facility.
"Just take a sip" my mom continued to urge me.
Not wanted to upset my mom I grab the purple tinted beaker. I watched as the liquid sloshed back and as it was transferred from hand to hand. I raised the beaker to my lips getting ready to taste the foul liquid when dad burst through the door.
"Don't drink that" he screamed at me.
I removed the glass from my lips and watched as he took confident strides toward me. He walked over to me and emptied the contents of the beaker into the nearby sink. My mom just rolled her eyes and proceeded to refill the cup. She always made extra in case it actually worked. I watched as my mom walked forward and tripped over the edge of the rolling counter.
Every liquid that was on that cart spilled on me. I had just enough time to cover my eyes. As beaker after beaker hit the floor I became worried. Before my fears could be confirmed security rushed in to see what the noise was about. They were closely followed by my moms boss Harold. I looked at the boss as a tingling sensation started to take over my body. I looked down at my body and watched as my clothing started to disappear.
"Mom is this acid" I asked her.
"no" was her very silent reply.
I started to scream as the pain finally started to hit me. It felt like a part of me was ripped from the inside out. I fell to the floor in agony. For the first time in my life I blacked out.
