Chapter2: It has Spread

The sound of a car pulling up in a drive way can be heard. The car stops and only the radio can be heard. It soon fades and another track plays:

I saw her, yea I saw her
With her black tongue tied round the roses

A fist pounding on a vending machine
Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger
With a noose she can hang from the sun
And put it out with her dark sunglasses
Walking crooked down the beach
She spits on the sand
Where their bones are bleaching

And I know I'm gonna steal her eye
She doesn't even know what's wrong
And I know I'm gonna make her die
Take her where her soul belongs
And I know I'm gonna steal her eye
Nothing that I wouldn't try

Hey, my sun-eyed girl
Hey, my sun-eyed girl
My sun-eyed girl
Hey, my sun-eyed girl

I saw her, yea I saw her
With her hands tied back
Rags a' burnin'
Calling out from a landfilled life
Scrawlin' her name upon the ceiling
Throw a coin in a fountain of dust
White noise, BELLS are ringing
Got a ticket for my midnight hanging
Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving

And I know I'm gonna steal her eye
She doesn't even know what's wrong
And I know I'm gonna make her die
Take her where her soul belongs
And I know I'm gonna steal her eye
Nothing that I wouldn't try

Hey, my sun-eyed girl
Hey, my sun-eyed girl
My sun-eyed girl
Hey, my sun-eyed girl

Hey, my sun-eyed girl
Hey,my sun-eyed girl
My cyanide girl
Hey, my sun-eyed girl

Hey, my sun-eyed girl
Hey, my sun-eyed girl
My sun-eyed girl
Hey, sun-eyed girl girl

The track fades and the man turns off the stereo. He opens the car door and steps out. At first the Setting sun blocks his features, but as he walks to his door they become more visible. He's wearing sneakers, sweatpants, and a sweat stained grey shirt. As he opens the door he is met by his lovely wife open arms and all. She smiles and jumps into his arms. He smiles weakly as the time at the gym has worn his arms down and he struggles to carry her. If this was any other day he would've been able to carry her in one arm, but he's pushed himself so much that he sets her down gently and collapses on the ground.

April: Tom, you've gotta stop pushing yourself so hard.

Time passes and Tom gets ready for bed. He showers and brushes his teeth. As he exits the bathroom his stomach begins to growl. Working out on an empty stomach has taken its toll. He drags himself into the kitchen and opens his microwave there is a nice golden brown biscuit waiting for him. He smiles as he slathers butter and honey within the biscuit's center. The biscuit seemed to jump into his mouth as it slowly melted into a goopy mixture of Honey, butter, and biscuit. As it dropped into his bowel he made his way into the bathroom to brush his teeth again. As the bristles scraped against his blinding white teeth, a pair of skinny arms wrapped around his waist. He looked in the mirror and saw his wife smiling.

April: Tommy, what was that funny movie with a banana?

Tom: Um, Banana Phone?

April: Oh yeah, Thanks!!!

April disappeared into the computer room. Tom rinsed and took out a can of Gilet shaving cream. He spread the gel across his smooth face and began to shave. Though he still had not gained any facial hair he still shaved so that he'd look "cool" As he washed his face he saw a blue beam of light shoot across the door way. He ignored it and finished washing up. As he left the bathroom Tom passed through the beam. At first Tom continued walking normally, but after a second his legs stopped and his upper half fell off. Tom panicked as he watched his lower half slowly fade away. He realized April was still in the computer room. Tom began to drag himself to the room. As he trudged on beams of light shot through his body. At last he had made it into the room and saw April crying in a corner he dragged him self over to her and held he tight. She to had begun to fade, and tom new that these could be his last moments. He looked around the room for something to save his wife and himself, but there was nothing. In his final moments he looked at the source of the light and it revealed itself as the computer's modem.
