My eyes shot open, as if i was awakening from a deep sleep, but of course, in someone else's body. I got up, the previous owner of this body seems pretty messy i speculated as i looked around the foreign room i woke up in. I get up and pull myself over to the light-switch, as i flick it the blinding lights overhead nearly put me back into the afterlife.
I look down upon this new body i find myself in to inspect it.
"Hmm…"
i think out loud, my skin a almost sickly pasty white, as was every body i find myself in.
I look around, spotting a half empty bottle of pills next to this body's host.
[…i see, so that's how that's how this one went out, i shall not bring dishonor to your name nor face.]
I look around for a sharp object, finding a pencil resting atop a desk next to this body's bed. I clench my jaw as i use the pencil to scrawl the numbers 23,197 into my inner forearm.
23.197, that's the amount of bodied i've inhabited, excluding my original one of course. The thought of going through another one sickens me to my core as i remember my last life.
[To think the last body i woke up in died in the middle of a surgery]
I stumble my way through the disorderly bedroom until i reach the curtains.
I pull the curtains apart as i slowly watch the sun rise through another day.
