In a world where humans and everything is the same there's one difference: people are invisible. As in the organs, skeleton, and skin are invisible but still there it's not like they are ghosts. It's weird you can’t see each other but you can talk. I don’t fit in here. I was normal but then… I don’t know what happened.
It all started when I was 15 going into 16 it was a normal school day. I got up as normal and ate breakfast. There was no need for brushing hair (if you had any) cause you couldn't see it. I got dressed but let me clarify you can see the clothing on you it's not like that is invisible. Anyway, to continue everything was normal. The school day was as tiring as normal.
When I got home I heard mom yell. She said something like, “What did they do to you, my baby!? ” I couldn’t see if she was crying but by the sound of her voice it was filled with confusion and worry. She ran off crying (I think) and may I mention I was very confused by what was going on. I walked off thinking,“well that was weird” and then I looked into the mirror. At that moment I understood it all.
In that moment instead of seeing the room right through me and my washcloth levitating when I picked it up. I saw a boy with short fluffy brown hair, crystal blue eyes, a plain black sweatshirt, black boots, blue jeans, and a seeable body. It took me a few moments to realize the boy was me. For the first time in my life I have seen what I look like. For the first time in my life I have seen what a human being looks like. The first thing that went to my mind was a sense of wonder. I started feeling my hair it was like a sheep unkept and fluffy.
But then the only thing that filled my mind was panic and questions. “How long have I been like this?” or “When did this happen!?” or “Why has no one but mom told me about me becoming seeable?”.
I was scared ,“Have I become the first human to not be invisible!?” I knew what this meant. If I was seeable that also means I was disectable. If the world of science found me I would be in trouble because that means people would think I’m not human or this would be a chance to finally map/dissect the human body.
I knew I had homework to do but that can wait. For now I had to hide. Hide from everyone. I had to make a plan. For the next few days my mom refused to look at me but on the first day she slida note under my door saying I don’t have to go to school because she wanted no one to look at my face. That helped me alot so I had more time to plan. I came to the conclusion that I need to run to my Aunt Jarlean.
