Bringer of Fire
“I called my sister to touch base, but Mom still called to check on me just before dinnertime. Travis called again, as well.
I almost told Travis about my strange side effects—or hallucinations?—but thought better of it for the time being. He’d probably think that I was crazy.
But then, maybe I was.
Perhaps that was why I didn’t dare try to tell either Lexi or my mother; I was hesitant over how they might react, too.
I ate more soup and crackers and drank more 7Up.
Damn, I’d almost forgotten how... good cola tasted, and despite my health food mantra, I vowed that it would maintain its presence in my future diet.
Maybe it was merely the sugar, but my mood had quickly improved and my mind felt somewhat more settled. If only my stomach would return to normal as quickly.
The next day, I actually made it into work. It felt almost strange to be there, but at least it brought me back into more of a normal routine. Each of my coworkers asked how I was feeling and my boss, Larry Anderson, was also really supportive, but everyone acted somewhat tentative toward me, except for Travis.MoreLess
