Another Life
She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and rolled over on her side. Squoosh! Her eyes shot open and looked down. "When did these appear? I've been a flat chest all my life!" The girl thought. She looked up with a sigh. "HUH? This isn't my room!" The room had a asain theme and it was filled with nick-nacks. She tried looking across the room but it blurred every time. "What the-?" She exclaimed as she rubbed her eyes. Luckily she found a pair of glasses near the bed. There was an instrument case, a keyboard , and a desk on the other side of the room. She then saw herself in a mirror sliding door. Instead of long blond hair she had short choppy brown hair. She was no longer slim and graceful but stalky and frumpy. "Katie get up!" "Katie? My name is Laura..." Laura then decided to find out who this Katie was. She opened the closet and grabbed some clean looking clothes. Laura went out into a hall. She saw a picture of two different boys in military. "I wonder who that is...." She went down the hall to the living room which was filled with antiques and old clocks. "Pretty cool stuff in here." She thought as she made her way through the room. She ended up in the kitchen. "Whoa....." It was white everywhere you looked. White tile, white drawers, white fridge...everything! Laura saw a picture of "her", the two military boys and a older girl. "So they are my siblings...." Her stomache grumbled. She looked in the fridge only to find a variety of drinks and left over stew. She found a fruit basket and had a banana for breakfast. While she ate she glanced at the counters. There in between the stove and the sink was a celphone. "That should be helpful...." She flipped it open. It siad,'HI Katie!' in it so she went to pics. She almost squeeled with joy. There were picture and names of Katie's friends and neighbors. "Katie take out the trash!" Without a word Laura went back to the bedroom and got on some shoes. While she was searching for shoes she found Katie's journal. She almost cried with joy. It told all about Katie, the family, and Katie's likes and dislikes. "Perfect!" She said then ran to put out the trash. She sat down on the couch with the journal and Katie's mp3. People suddenly burst through the front door.
..............What will Laura do? Will she ever be herself again?
