A New Beginning

I woke up this morning, and could just feel I was different. My body was tingling from adrenalin, but I could not remember why. My hands were shaking, and I began to think, this must be the worst hang over ever. The last thing I remember was being at the bar, I remember that last drink, Whiskey Sour, well I hope that was my last, at this point I could be wrong.

Something has changed though; this is not my normal hangover. I don’t want to brag, but I can handle my alcohol, drinking since the age of 12 will get you that way. I decide it is best to lay in bed and try and piece back the night. I start with my phone that is usually the best place. Go through text messages, what I googled, and who I called.

This usually helps, but not this time, no calls or texts sent after 11 pm. I know I was out later then that. The one strange thing was I searched “What is happening to me?” on Google. I don’t think Google ever gave me my answer. I tried Yahoo too.

I start to feel sudden waves of energy as my head starts pounding and pulsing trying to remember last nights events. I am a 28-year-old women, I should have my shit together by now. I have to go to work; I have to figure out what happened to me. And then it hits me.

Those men at the bar. The ones who looked like corporate lawyers and bought me a drink at the bar. They asked me if I was a virgin, and of coarse thinking you must be joking I said yes. I remember the limo; I thought we were just going to a hotel. We went to the woods.

I died last night, and was reborn today. The reason my body is shaking and the need for adrenalin. I am hungry. Starving for that matter. I jump out of bed, stare in the mirror. All I can think is damn, I look good.
