7. Our muses swap bodies for a day.
Things always felt different to Kieron. Each and every day he would be tugged awake, his subconscious pulling him from the depths of his sleep and into awareness. Though it was always for the same reasons, his insatiable appetite during the nights or the need to warn of death. Yet this time--this time was different.
Eyes snap open when he feels the tugging at his subconscious, but it's milder than normal, like a small whisper in the back of his mind that he can't help but to listen to. Immediately sitting up on the bed, he's lifting one of his hands, dragging it through his hair while his mind wanders towards thoughts of why the need was so suppressed until fingers take hold of a lock of hair. It felt different, not like his own. His eyes widen when he sees the different color, and his eyes then move to the room surrounding him, noting how unfamiliar it truly was.
Feet carry him towards what he guesses is a bathroom--and as lucky as he can be--he turns his eyes towards a mirror, finding himself not in his own body, and instead, he was in a taller body, much taller than he was accustomed to.
"What?" Even the voice was different, and he found himself immediately moving out of the bathroom and over towards where he spots this stranger's phone resting. Kieron's lucky for the lack of a password as he types in his own phone number, though his mind wanders for a moment whether or not the person in his body would be forced to succumb to the mythical side of himself, and if so, he would be even luckier for his phone to be with his body.
