Kafka Blog 1

I woke up freezing, light was just coming through the window and casting shadows all around me. For some reason everything seemed so much bigger than normal. I was surrounded by sheets and the comforter. Everything looked really different so I lifted up my arms to rub my eyes and saw webbed fingers. All of a sudden my alarm clock went off, but it was so far away, and so loud that there was nothing I could do but just sit there, and I was so cold. I was sitting there pondering why I was so cold when a noticed that my legs were all bunched up beneath me. I tried to look down but to no avail, so I slowly stretched them out and again saw webbing, but this time I noticed the color of my legs, they were blue! The alarm clock rung again and I realized I had to get out of bed, less I be late to school, I could clover my legs with tights so no one can see the color, I mean it's cold enough I thought. But when I tried to move I was so cold that my muscles would not contract. I slowly but steadily moved toward the comforter to warm up, once I got there I realized that it was only going to help a little.  I was moving slowly toward the end of my bed when there was a loud knock at my door, Mariah get up! My dad said loudly. I promptly ignored him and tried moving closer and closer to the endge of the bed. The knocking did not stop nad to make things even better the alarm clock started ringing again. I tried to ignore all the noises as a made my way across my bed. Trying to fathom why my bed was so big. Once I reached the edge I looked down and saw that it was a long way down, but suddenly as if by instinct my legs extended and I found myself on the floor.
