Chapter #5Using the Powder Again, Bringing Back Jake by: Ctbro   Bill stared in shock at the old family photo. The eyes of his elder brother, Jake, almost seemed to be begging him to undo what he had done. Bill gulped. He had unintentionally replaced his brother, taking over Jake's life and body, and erasing his original self in the process. The guilt was building inside him, ready to spill over. He wanted to be stronger, taller; he did not want to take over his elder brother's life.
He rushed back to his room. The tin can was still by his nightstand; he stared at it for a long moment realizing what it actually contained, magic power. He grabbed the can and looked inside. His heart sunk when he noticed the power seemed all but used up. Only a small bit clung to the bottom circumference of the can. "Did I really use that much last night..." Bill asked aloud.
He carefully poured the remaining powder into his cupped hand, not wanting any of what was left to fall onto the carpet. "Think... inhale... become..." He whispered to himself and he tried to think of what he wanted to occur. His mind swirled though. He desperately wanted his brother back. But, he also just as desperately wanted to have a body like Jake's... tall, good-looking, strong, charismatic. He breathed in the powder, and almost instantly sneezed loudly.
"Bless you..." someone near him commented.
"Jake!" Bill smiled, whipping his head around to smile at his brother. He gripped his right arm tightly around his brother's shoulder, and they fell backwards, landing on his bed.
"Bill?" Jake raised an eyebrow questioning his action, but Bill did not care. He was excited that his brother was alive and well again. Bill felt his brother pat his shoulder gently. "Love you too bro. But, we got to get ready... we're already behind."
"Right... sorry." Bill said as he let go of his brother's shoulder. He noticed that Jake seemed younger. His elder brother was several years older and already in his third year of high school, but now he looked younger, high school aged again.
Thats when he became aware of how odd his body felt, and how close his brother remained. He surprisingly could not feel his left arm, left leg. Bill quickly sat up, or tried to. His first attempt was met with resistance from an unusual weight on his left. It was like the left half of his abdomen could not move. He attempted again, and this time he sat up at the same time as Jake. "Oh shit!" He said aloud, his mind reeling. He stared at the two legs, tightly muscled, that connected to a single waist that connected to a single well-built torso. There was himself and his brother, but only one body, their one body.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
