The sun on his face gave Dan a calming feeling, a feeling that he had almost forgotten. Like the sensation felt from the gentle touch of love from a m...other's warm hand. Closing his eyes, he could not wait to feel this way every day.With an affirmative nod of his head, he knew that if all goes well he would be where he wanted to be within a couple of months.He watched as the sun danced on the last remaining puddles of the saturated ground and the blue tits and finches jump from branch to branch.. ..Mark is that asshole from your high school you were sort of friends with but pretty much hated. Steve and Mark didn’t get along very well because he was a jerk, Jayden pretty much ignored his existence because he would make crude comments towards her and her friends. But he wasn’t your typical jock asshole type you see in movies, he wasn’t athletic at all he was short about 5’4” super small and skinny. As far a his face it was covered in acne and wasn’t very appealing, I wouldn’t go as far as. The closest thing to it was a guy at school who burped and screamed about nerds and looked like he should have graduated about ten years ago, or so I thought.The clock read 11:11 pm and I closed my eyes tight and made my wish. So far birthday candle wishes and shooting star wishes had failed me but like Walt said, "You gots to believe in magic or something." Actually, I can't remember exactly what he said but it was something like that.So a few days later when I was walking home from school. Thetightening chest draws his heart into furious beats as he gasps for air,the harsh sound erupting from his lips born of terror. Beset by thedesire, he weakly turns, feeling the new itch in his scalp turn toweight upon his neck and ears, and lies prostrate. The pain twistinginto his legs, he can only arch his fingers upon the carpet as the boneand muscle erodes. The pain in his feet crumpling them into smallershapes while toes shrivel and new arches break. Within, a storm beginsas his stomach.
