My eyes hurt.

Wait what?

As I continued to blink, occasional pockets of sunlight would fill the void as my eyes closed and opened. It was another restless night a moment ago. I literally had to take a small overdose to cut myself from that cycle you know? Supposedly, the often-repeated promise of life gets better after education proved to be false as my hateful school life just transformed to a hateful work life. I was never one to be particularly bullied but being the quiet kid meant nothing interesting ever happened either. Being continuously ostracized, my emotions became quickly mixed with irritancy and sadness when interacting with others driving me past the point of no return.

If I did lose my life though, how could I see the sun? I’d like to think it would be heaven but –

Damn, there’s a lot more greenery than I expected – smells quite nice too. I thought it would be more yellow light or eternal darkness. I was certain I blacked out but I’m lying in the emerald plains.

Might as well enjoy it! I said trying to stand. where are my hands? Where are my fingers?

“Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,”

Why did my scream come out as a bleat!

“Baaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

…

Rising on all fours, I tilt my head down.

…

Two tiny black legs were poking right below my white fluff. I’ve turned into a sheep?! After a couple minutes of awkward walking, I think I got this.

With my newfound skill, I execute a turn – only to see 5 other sheep, a small house and generous fencing.

I see.

So, I’m a farm animal.

So, I’m going to be sold and eaten?

Never!

A new life, a new start!

I’ll redo my mistakes, live arrogantly and enjoy it to the fullest!

Bending my neck to the ground, I bite the grass.

*munch*

It actually tastes really good.
