Is It A Lie?

The Truth

Wake up. Brush Teeth. Shower. Eat Breakfast. Sleep. Wake Up. Eat Lunch. Sleep. Wake Up. Eat Dinner. Sleep.

This cycle repeats throughout his day, and the days of most his age.  He doesn't know what to do, he just survives. Every now and then, he works out to not gain too much belly fat. But otherwise, it's the same all year long.

But one interesting day, he watched the news, first time in years, he widened his eyes at the amount of murder, then shut off the Tv. Soon, he would be fired from his job, meaning he could no longer pay his mortgages, meaning he would lose his home.

So, one faithfully day, he changed into different clothing, and left the house. He walked out and out, until he realized... He doesn't know where he works. He looks at his phone, thankfully, it's still saved on there. It was a long walk though. He walked back home and got on his bike, but he hadn't remembered how to ride. Being deprived of the outside world had rid him of everything.

He stood outside his house, faced it, and shed a tear. He hasn't felt emotion in ages, but this felt somewhat normal.

Therefore, he decided to walk, he had to look at his phone every 2 minutes, he wasn't very good with directions. He always took some kind of wrong turn, but eventually, he made it to work, he had a flash of memories while he was...Normal. He thought of the word again...Normal. It sounded... odd.

It was a word that described his past life, before It happened. A flash, a bang, a boom, a crackle. He was changed, the whole world was changed, Is this normal? He thought, he had started to have a mental breakdown, he didn't understand if this was real, he didn't know if this was a lie, his entire life. It came into question, his morality, sanity, what made him human and different from the crowd, all, into question.

But there he was, curling up into a ball in front of his workplace, practically dying there, squirming around on the ground. His mind rushed back and forth, rocking his sense of thought and reality, truth and lie. Then he felt it. The pain.

It erupted from his chest, like it was tearing apart, about to burst at the seams, he squirmed in his fetal position even more rapidly. His breathing became heave, his life began to flash before his eyes, and just as fast as it came, it stopped...
