Fade
It started slowly.
It’ll end likewise.
I think it likes it that way.
My right hand keeps catching my eye as I write this.
Stupid.
When did it begin?
I’m not quite sure.
We’ll say days. It’ll do.
Days ago, I woke up.
Sun splitting the curtains. Dust floating, glowing in the light. Builders outside. Cat at my feet.
Normal day.
Abnormal see-through chest.
That is what I saw when I looked down.
Skin still there, blood still in me.
But I could see into my chest.
Muscles. Veins. Hint of ridcage.
First reaction: X-ray vision. (Superman fan.)
Second reaction: vomit. Copiously.
(Incidentally: not X-ray vision. Tried seeing my neighbour Karen naked. No dice.)
Since then, the fading has spread.
In size.
In depth.
My torso no longer exists, though I still eat (?) and breath.
My shoulders are gobe, thoigh arns still; attacged to me.
Legs incisible dpwn to my knees.
Genitals…yo know.
It’s up my neck.
Shoting through ny right gand.
