Human Again

The heat in the room was almost unbearable. But Emily just could not take her eyes off of the former Wonderball. As it grew and shaped, it looked more and more human. This was becoming more and more strange.

The light brightened around the figure. Suddenly, the light flashed and gathered around Emily. She felt as though something were choking the life out of her.

Right when she felt as though she was going to pass out, the human figure yelled out something. The pressure released and a hissing noise ensued. The window shattered and the heat left the room. Emily looked towards the figure, now fully visible.

“Are you alright?” The Wonderball could now talk. It had taken the shape of a young man. He wore strange clothes, like someone in a science fiction movie. Black pants, black jacket. Emily felt like this might be a dream.

“Who…are you?” she asked.

“I am the one that warned you not to come here.”

Darkness began to overtake Emily. She was so tired. The room turned dark and she passed out.
