GROWTH

Sorry about the delay

Chapter 5

As Saph exited the flat, Brett relaxed. Well, his mind did. Since that stupid experiment, he had started hiding into himself. Of course, he didn’t want to be trapped inside his mind, but it seemed there was nothing he could do, as a strange... well there was the thing. He couldn’t describe it, but all he knew was that “it” had taken over his physical body and most of his mind as well. Because of this, he had been forced to metaphorically sit back and watch what “it” was doing with his body.

It wasn’t only a surprise, what it was doing, but it was outrageous. He, “it”, had done things he didn’t have nightmares about, never mind dreams. Things he couldn’t bear thinking about. All he did know was that “it” was strangely attracted to plants. All this had happened in the span of over a week and during that time, he had been trying to figure out what the hell was going on, while also trying to find a way of recapturing his physical and mental self. And he had succeeded.

For one moment, he had managed to plead Saph for help. But she had criticised him, causing him to lose moral and lose control. To be honest, he didn’t totally disagree with what “it” did to her. But now, he was regretting his moment of weakness. Now Saph hated him even more and there surely no way she was ever going to come back.

What was he doing? He would never get back his body if he kept thinking stuff like this. Then a familiar buzzing sound started. The buzzing always came whenever “it” was starting to change. Though what this change was he didn’t know. All he knew was that the feeling around him was different then to what he was used to. One thing he had figured out was that whenever the buzzing started and the change began, it started taking bits of himself from him – mentally and maybe physically, being trapped in his mind he wasn’t sure.

But the buzzing was louder than before, almost a voice, with words he couldn’t make out. Well he was ready to fight. He’d managed to hold it off before, though only slightly. But the buzzing was enormous and he suddenly started to feel a sort of sensation, like something was closing in on him. Suddenly he got a brief look outside his mind – the plants that “it” had brought with his money, were surrounding him. Suddenly he realised – whatever “it” was, it was going to take all of him and this time there was no escape. In one desperate attempt of rebellion, he thought the equivalent of yelling “No! I deny you!” As he slowly disappeared, he understood what the buzzing was saying: “It begins”
