Birth Of A Hero

My name is Justus Erickson and this is my story. Today has been slow as usual in the restaurant, cleaning dishes and wondering what kinds of people were eating these fancy dishes like lobster and oysters, etc. It is now the end of my shift and the boss is sending me home. Walking outside and heading over to my car, the unexpected happened. I was struck by a bolt of lightning out of no where. There aren't even any clouds in the sky! What the hell! This is what went through my mind before darkness overtook me. Little did I know that my true life was just about to begin.

I am now awake and am currently laying in a hospital bed. I listen as a nurse talks to a doctor at the foot of my bed. "It's incredible doctor! His hair has grown down passed his shoulders and is now pure silver in color, as well as his eyes. His skin tone has become a healthy golden color from the pale white he originally had, and his height has increased from 6 feet tall to over 6 and a half feet tall! This just goes above and beyond the realm of science. This can't even be explained by science. He was hit directly in the heart by a lightning bolt and instead of dying, his body became the peak of the human male, if not more. After all doctor, we have yet to have him go through stress testing, assuming he is even willing. Oh, look doctor! He is awake already! How incredible.."

I sat up and made eye contact with the hot nurse and the sexy and mature female doctor, whose name tag I could see said Dr. Mary Sue. Are you kidding? Actual Mary Sue?! Isn't that supposed to just be a bad joke guys like to use? Now a real person with the name has appeared! Anyway, clearing my throat I asked the doctor, "So, from what I hear my physical condition seems to be unusual. Is there anything for me to be worried about? If not, I would really like to go home. Today has been too eventful of a day for me." Looking at me thoughtfully, the doctor held her chin before nodding and saying, "Go on home, if we have anything further that we require from you we shall contact you. Go home and rest." Thanking the doctor and the nurse, I got out of my hospital bed and grabbed the spare change of clothes that they had prepared for me along with my keys and wallet and swiftly made my way for the door. Let's go home.

Finally out of the hospital, I called a cab and had it bring me to my work so that I could retrieve my car. It's just an old 1995 Ford Taurus with black paint and blue flame decals down the sides of the car. Climbing into my car, I turned the key over and started the engine. Home is only three blocks away from Kerrie's Dining Hall. I live in a one bedroom apartment at Cherry Hill Apartments. In no time I have made it home, and walk into apartment number 10 on the second floor. Sprawling myself out on my sofa, I sigh in disbelief and stay this way for a good half an hour or so. However, I have grown curious as the nurses description of my appearance was so far from my original appearance that it sounded like an elaborate prank. Though, now standing in front of my bathroom mirror I stare in disbelief. I stare at the face and body of a god. Because in my mirror I see me wearing some ancient battle armor and lightning flashing in the sky. My eyes have flashes of sparks in them as well in the reflection. Suffice it to say that I have gone catatonic at this point. After all my reflection is just too terrifying and epicly cool at the same time. I am confused, because I feel like I recognize this appearance. Wait a minute.. Thor God of Thunder! Holy crap... Did I somehow become the reincarnation of Thor or like his vessel on Earth or something? This is nuts, so then that makes me a hero or a god. Whichever is the case, I am sure to have godly strength and power over thunder and lightning. This is totally badass!

Finally calmed down, I walk out of the bathroom and change into my own clothes from my closet. Noticing that my clothes don't fit anymore, I sigh before changing back into the black tee and blue pants that the hospital gave to me. Looks like it is time for a mall shopping trip!
