Basement

As I open my eyes I see concrete. And that's when the pain comes in, it's sharp and hot around my back and chest. I scream and moan, gasping for any air I could take in. I black out again. When I awake I feel numb, everything feels numb so I attempt to stand... I can only sit up. Suddenly I feel something! I look down at my feet. It's a rat. And it's big. I kick it in fear, killing it instantly when it hits the concrete wall. I frown, I still feel itchy only this time it's my leg. As I roll up my pant legs I notice a, dry worm? Its attached to my leg, a leech? It's protruding out of a pencil thick hole in my leg. As I touch the thing, it starts to writhe as if wanting to crawl into my skin. I quickly grab it and pull. Only to feel the pencil sized hole to tear and widen. At that moment I realize whatever I'm holding is not a worm or leech. So I pull harder until I hear a gruesome squish. I realize what was in me. A rat. It's struggling to be free of my grasp. I kill this one with a rock. As I was about to sigh in relief I suddenly feel my other leg crawl... leg skin doesn't crawl. As I look down I see multiple pencil shaped holes with what I can only assume is protruding rat tails. As I start to pull them out, I wake up. I noticed a ray of sun was shining on my face. I quickly pull back the covers to check for injuries. There were none, I feel like instead of sleeping I ran a marathon and finished last. After a few minutes of grumbling I get up and start my morning routine for the day.
