Chapter Twenty Eight
Mmm it smells like muffins… I like muffins…. Mother! Did you make muffins!?!??!? Wait I’m at a hotel… how could she make muffins? She bought them maybe? No store bought muffins are awful. So I’m dreaming? Okay. I can deal with that. Muffin dreaming. Okay no. Now I smell carrots… carrot muffin?
I squinted my eyes open, a small slit of light seeping through the black. There were several clouds and the sun on the opposite side away from… view? Why can’t I see it? I closed my right eye still seeing the little light. I blinked. And again. And again and again and again. I kept them open staring at the sky.
Am I going blind?
In one eye?
I lifted my hand reaching over past my right view feeling for my… hand?
I put both my hands in view, of my right eye, and place them back down at my side.
So Marissa?
I stretched out a bit sending an awake signal through my system to bad it wouldn’t help my voice.
“Marissa..” I muttered squinting my eyes and plugging my ears.
No answer.
“Marissa…” I said more clearly waking up but not ‘up’.
“Whaa…..” she yawned her voice seeming distant. I heard her roll on her side.
“Hand…” I muttered rolling my head away not wanting to move my hands.
“Hhh…? My hand…?” she mummered, movement sounding from somewhere, “I have two hands… see?”
I tilted my head towards her voice opening my eyes to see. Squinting my left I looked over to see Marissa nearly a meter away, wow we really do move in our sleep. She was showing her two hands, both her palms facing out towards me.
Huh… two hands… not three.
Hummfff… weird…
…
“AHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!” I shrieked as loud as I possibly could, shifting up on my hands and feet moving back towards Marissa still screaming.
Something cupped over my mouth, which I would hope assume to be a hand.
“What are you screaming about?” Marissa voice stopped me of my alarm. Marissa’s hand.
“Not my hand!” I pointed, striking my hand toward the third hand.
She was still partly sleeping, as was I so technically this could all be a dream or my mind playing tricks on me.
“What the-EEEK!” she shrieked also, pushing me forward.
I had just gotten flattened like a pancake at who knows when in the morning or afternoon, all I knew is that I was way too tired to be squashed this early- errr maybe late? In the day? Night?
I got up facing towards where I was sleeping going back to back with Marissa who was doing the same towards her sleeping arrangements.
“Put your hands up! You- you one armed freak!” I demanded, my hand in a gun formation.
“Yeah!” Marissa add probably to tired to think of something clever.
“What’s with the screaming?” someone or something… moaned from the pile of blankets I was lying in.
“So loud..” came from the other side where Marissa was guarding.
“Who are you! And what have you done with my seeing!?” I questioned point my gun, “Wait er… What is your motive!??????”
