I followed him out of the house into the backyard. I stood a few distance away from him, contemplating everything he had told me so far. Having the same condition as him, I can relate to him to a certain level. But just because we have the same coincidences does not mean we are related, why more is him being my father. All these thoughts circled around me and yet it remains unsolved. And every single thing this self-proclaimed father of mine keeps saying just continues to pile the question over and over again.
"So, what are we doing here?" I asked, standing quite a distance away from him but he doesn't seem to bother. Instead, he took a few steps away from me, " You're about to find out the truth. You might want to step back even more than that."
"What-" I was confused as I moved back but was immediately speechless at what was unfolding before my very eyes.
He started curling down in the ground, hands on his head as he groaned in what sounded like pain. As I got closer to help him, his back suddenly started increasing in size. He kept growing and growing in every parts of his body with no signs of stopping. His skin started turning red, veins could be seen popping everywhere on his body and when he looked up, his eyes were bloody red. I fell down on my butt, shocked and scared at the transformation in front of me. I could not move any muscle, as the pressure he gave off was so terrifying. All of a sudden, he was inches from my face, saliva dripping off his mouth onto my shirt. I scuttled backwards, attempting to get away from this monstrosity in front of me, but I was backed into a wall with no escape routes. He was shirtless, his clothing ripped from the sudden increase in his size. All that was left was his ripped jeans and a collar around his neck from the shirt.
Then, as if there was conflict within his body, he stepped backwards slowly, one leg after another, before shrinking in size. His skin went back to his usual tan and he was breathing heavily, coughing every now and then. He laid on the grass of the backyard, wiping sweat of his forehead and said one simple sentence that would undoubtedly change my whole life.
"This is my power, and it is yours too."
