//------------------------------// // Lifes boring...take a pill // Story: The unexpected year // by gruflz //------------------------------// He filled out the application: -5'7" -Black hair -Grey eyes -157 pounds -Male Ten minutes of waiting later he was given the news, he was accepted. He was given the experimental drug that was promised to help improve his ability to learn, which he needed if he was going to fulfil his dreams of being a DJ. Before he couldn't remember which lever, switch or dial did what, so he hoped that this drug would work. "I’ll be the best DJ in history if this drug works!" He exclaimed when he got into his house. The next day came by, no luck remembering. "Maybe it takes a little while." He told himself The next two weeks went by to no avail. "GAW, WHY WONT YOU WORK!!!" he screamed at the nearly empty pill bottle as he threw it at the wall. As it made contact the cap broke spewing the remaining pills everywhere. "GODDAMNIT!!!" Were the only words that he could say as he walked over to where the pills were. All he could do is think of how long it would take him to find every single pill and fix the cap. And then he did something that he didn't expect, he willed the pills in the case and the cap to be fixed. "Nothing." He said, not disappointed that nothing had happened. "This would be crazy...but what if..." His thoughts trailed off as he knelt down next to a tiny pale blue pill. He grabbed the pill case and extended his fingers towards the pill with the other hand, and focused like he hadn't done before, focused until it hurt, and then, and then the pill leapt to life, jumping into the pill case ad shocking him into passing out. When he woke he tried it again and with still quite a large amount of surprise he did it again and again, until every pill was in the case, and the cap was fixed and placed properly on the top. "Did I...Did I just do that? I don't feel good." he said as he fell into the sweet bliss of sleep.
