Countdown

       I woke up in the local hospital and I heard people whispering" yes, yes we know it maybe the markings" I heard the doctor's voice," Yes, but do you remember what we said when he was born; on the day he turned thirteen the birthmarks would change and you would have to tell him what was going on. " I feared this day since he was born," said my mother's sweet, innocent voice. My mom, dad, and the doctor walked in the room quitely. My mother started to speak," Sweetie this is really hard to explain but just try to understand me. In nine days you are...." she started tearing up" you ..... you will die, that's why the birthmarks changed" "Wait, What?"I said confused as ever. Then my arm burned like someone had set a fire. I screamed in agony. I watched my arm as it changed from a nine to an eight.
