Something's Off

I woke up to the bright sun peaking over the tall, green trees in the distance, it was a gorgeous morning. I got up and walked to the bathroom, having to pee really bad. As I hobble my tired body to the bathroom, I scratch my face to notice something's off. My face feels inflated, almost like that of a balloon. I peel a strip of skin off thinking nothing of it. Maybe I'm sun burnt? As I reach the bathroom I see a terrifying sight, one that only appears in dreams, maybe even in horror movies. My face has pores in it, holes like a sponge. I poke at the hole just for it to grow even larger, an overwhelming sight. My face begins to slowly peel itself off, with nothing of my control. I try to stop it by holding it up more, but it continues to peel off like a sticker from a sticker sheet. Underneath lies an unfamiliar face, a scary face. As the last of my skin falls off, a demonic face arises, unlike anything I have ever seen.
