Today was just supposed to be like every other day after a long shift of flipping burgers at my job. However, upon exiting the building, a stray lightning bolt from the sky struck me directly in the heart. My last thoughts before darkness were along the lines of, "Man I was looking forward to playing ES6 when I got home." However, unlike my expectation, I wasn't dead. Instead I woke up laying in a hospital bed with an IV in my arm and the beeping of hospital equipment next to me. Looking down at my chest, I was full of confusion. There was no charred black hole like I had expected. Instead there was a long scar going down my chest looking like it had been there for several years. Also my hair had grown long and blonde and was down below my shoulders. My muscles drastically grew in size, and I appear to be significantly taller. I used to be a brunette by the way. Now I am a blonde apparently. Finally observing my surroundings, I noticed that there was a nurse who was staring at me with a look of total shock and awe. She made a mad dash for the door and yelled for a doctor. A few moments later, the nurse returned with a middle aged man in the traditional doctors coat. He gave me a look over before chuckling and saying, "It seems that God was watching over you young man. A bolt of lightning to the heart, and yet you survived without your heart exploding! This is a medical miracle! You shouldn't even be alive right now, and yet here you are, healthy as a horse and stronger than ever. I am amazed to be saying this but, you have a clear bill of health and are free to go. The hospital has arranged for transportation to your home and one of your family members has driven your vehicle home and is currently waiting for you at your apartment. Now go home and rest."
Nodding in understanding to the doctor's instructions, I quickly made my way to the door after putting on the shirt that was prepared for me. Heading outside, I climbed into the cab that was waiting for me and made my way home. Five minutes later I arrived outside of my apartment building and saw my entire family waiting for me. My mom and dad, my two younger sisters and my younger brother. They all had red eyes, and before I knew it I was being bombarded with hugs and crying of each of my family members. I was partially surprised to see all of them at my place, but at the same time a life and death situation had occured and they must have all taken time off of work to be with me and check that I was actually okay even though I am 100% sure that they had already seen me alive and breathing in the hospital before this. Seeing me conscious must have been the thing that they truly needed as they all calmed down once they all got their hugs in. Leading everyone upstairs, I walked up to my apartment number 10 on the second floor and let everyone in. Luckily I had gone on a cleaning spree the other day and my place was clean. The normal condition of my apartment was half tornado, half swamp I suppose you could say. In other words a royal mess.
Offering everyone drinks, to which they all declined, I then took a seat on my lazy boy and waited for them to all sit on my couch. Instead they all stayed standing and my mom spoke up. "Devin, we all were so worried about you. You don't contact us ever, and are content playing your video games after work shutting yourself off from the rest of the world. We would have never known that you almost died if you hadn't put your dad as your emergency contact. This can't happen again Devin, our hearts can't take it. From now on, I want you to check in with one of us at least once a month. There are no negotiations here, and I am sure you know that we are doing this for your own good. We care about you Devin, and only wish the best for you. I know that being a fast food worker wasn't where you saw yourself 10 years ago, however everyone has to work and eat after all. Lift up your chin and don't give up on your life. It has only just begun!" Feeling tears entering my eyes, I nodded to my mom and told her that I understand. After that everyone hugged me one more time before they all headed out the door. Now, it's time for me to really get a good look at my appearance. Because from what I am able to observe, I have changed way too much from just being struck by lightning. Just what is going on here?
Struck by lightning, yet alive. Golden blonde hair and built like an ox. Getting up from my lazy boy, I made my way to the bathroom. In my bathroom, I'm currently frozen stiff. Because my appearance in the mirror is too shocking. Wearing some ancient looking kingly armor, and wielding a badass looking warhammer in one hand, is none other than yours truly. What's more, flashes of lightning are appearing around my head, and stormy clouds in a dark sky above. Wait... Am I Thor?!
