 The Day My World Stopped

By: Megan

 Lightning struck the ground as thunder rippled throughout the town.
The murky sky helped foreshadow the inevitable.
Clueless as to what would happen, my day went on as usual.
I moved in robotic motions that will forever haunt me.
My body seemed to know what would happen, but my innocence had no idea. 
To be honest, I couldn't tell you what happened next.
It was all a blur.
The ground shook under me and I was gone.
Slipped away by the edge of fate.
Unappreciative of the life I had.
The life I will never get back.
I awoke in sudden shock.
Pain filled my body as I tried to grasp my new normal. 
"Normal."
The reality was I would never be normal or even close to it ever again.
My brain churned information trying to process all that was happening.
None of it made sense. 
How could this be happening to ME?
But I was not supposed to understand.
And as for the plotline,
well, it made it interesting.

I will never be able to go to a doctor's office without feeling immense anxiety. I will never be able to “just go for a run”. I will never be her ever again. And maybe that is okay. But maybe it’s not. Maybe my brain has morphed into believing new things. Maybe I have been sculpted into my new self. Maybe I will never feel that type of pain aga...
