Summer, 8:00

  Location: Earth, Victor's house.

  New Day, new world, new everything—technically, that should be, and it seems it will be the same for everyone—or maybe not.

  Victor woke up from his sleep groggily. He felt so disoriented that he was unable to move even from his bed. He tried to move his head, but his hand moved. He tried to stop his hand, but the leg moved. It took him more than 30 minutes before he was even able to open his eyes and sit properly.

  He was feeling weirdly energetic but at the same time exhausted and thirsty, a combo of feeling that he never thought existed before. He tried to ignore this discomfort and opened his phone to check the time and he immediately regretted it.

  Oh no oh no oh no, no, no, no

  “Shit… not today”, Victor cussed as he ran desperately to freshen up to go to college. Today was a practical css which he can’t miss.

  He didn't notice it but his body became a little slim, his height increased and his responsiveness and reflexes had become a little faster than normal.

  Summer, 8:00

  location: Leo's house

  Leo is still sleeping which is normal, but his phone is ringing constantly, and the caller ID is named "Mom", he seems to have 11 missed calls.

  It seems like… it’s going to be his st peaceful sleep.

  Leo's body had shown some obvious changes, not Like Victor's which are barely noticeable. He seems to have grown tall, and become buffed up like someone who spends 8 hours in the gym daily and his skin seems to have red marks all over which looks like some sort of tattoo an incomplete one.

  "Um… um, Mona, you are looking pretty today....” Leo murmured while adjusting his body for better comfort.

  Ring…Ring…

  His phone rang again. The caller seems to be changed and this time it’s the id is “Dad”.

  It seems he is his life will never be the same again.

  Summer, 9:00

  location: Theo's house

  Theo wakes up retively early in the morning. And so he did today, but it seems he was too hungry to even move as he has been crawling towards his fridge for over an hour now. He is... is midway through his journey.

  After finally more than an hour he reached the fridge, opened up some snacks and drinks and after another 30 minutes he was able to move again.

  Crack…crack…crack…er

  “I didn’t know I was so stiff… let’s check the clock… and wonderful… it’s good that today I don’t have any csses … so thirsty… sigh”.

  “So what was that… a new mutant mosquito?”

  “I feel so exhausted… sigh”

  He went to sleep once again. After 30 minutes, he woke up once again, because of his hunger and the thirst that he was previously feeling but this time he had the energy to move at least. He stretched himself once again and went to get some water and make some food.

  After drinking more than 4 liters of water he still didn't feel satisfied, but his kidneys seemed to be more than satisfied as it was the 10th time he had gone to the toilet. He stopped himself from drinking more and sat on the sofa to rex and observe himself.

  “So, what happened st night…?”, Theo thought to himself… did any mutant mosquito bite me? … although the possibilities are low it’s not like it’s none… let’s check myself for any anomalies or superpowers.

  After that, he went to take a shower, measured his height, reflexes, skin, muscles, and everything he could think of, and wrote it in a new diary.

  He discovered that his height had increased, although it was not that obvious, his skin color had become light, and his body weight had somehow decreased but his total fitness was still intact, health had somehow increased like lungs became good, skin had no rashes. Overall, he would say it was all good if not his hair color became a little bit light, faded would be the correct word, although it looks normal, with careful notice it’s obvious the rich bck color is fading.

  "It seems I have to start eating non-veg again, I am walking towards Buddhism unknowingly and now my hair is losing color, after that it may fall someday and I might become bald, which is not good.”

  Although his other changes excited him a lot, like the fact his stomach problem which he had cured almost so he can now eat food that was restricted previously, the fact that he might become bald someday is slightly unnerving.

  "Let's ask others if something simir happened to them too or is it just me ... but first let’s check the news and internet for any simir cases...”

  Theo quickly made his decision and checked the news which just provided him with some fake news for the fact yesterday's night was a little chilly than normal in this season with no major indications like storms or winds.

  "What the… these news channels are getting out of hand these days, what do you mean by aliens leaving or coming just because the night was a little abnormal, don’t they have better things to do?”

  Theo grumbled a few more times before calling Leo and Victor but got no response as he expected.

  He dialed a few more times before he gave up.

  Left with nothing to do, he then came to a quiet spot in his apartment, not that he needed it as there are only 6 families living in this apartment complex in total, so there is no chaos at all, just peace, which is why he still lives here.

  He then began to meditate which pointed out the thirst again which he was ignoring subconsciously. And it seems that the meditation he learned from the website with premium membership worked as he began to calm down, and sensed that his thirst was becoming less and less but at the rate at which it is going it will take a lot of time.

  He quietly estimated the time… eight hours.

  Theo thought internally that the meditation costs were getting ridiculous too.

  In this world where the entertainment business is more popur than ever because of unemployment and automation, most people have headaches and more mental diseases these days. With the rise of these issues, new types of gyms started, well not new but the category just separated, meditation gyms. Here people go, listen to zen music which always pys and meditate according to the postures given by the gym.

  What’s more ridiculous is that some meditation postures are taken as a patent by some gyms, and there are competitions too.

  Left with nothing to do he just mediated for more than 5 hours continuously; at one point in time, he was so immersed that he fell asleep. He then woke up again and decided to do something productive… so he went to py a video game,

  Again, after pying for more than 5 minutes he once again called Leo and Victor and again got no response.

  “If only I had more friends…”, he thought internally.

  Left with nothing to do he made a new entry in his diary, he wrote what happened yesterday in detail and made a note of every detail and hypothesis, so he could be prepared for everything.

  It can be said it’s in Theo’s nature to be prepared for everything as much as possible, Afterall who in their right mind would get nd in a rural area and build a house with a big bunker and food stored for more than a year, … yes was prepared for apocalypses too.

  During his recollection, he did some more tests, which can be said as crucial things, like sense tests which didn’t previously. He tested all his five senses, skin, taste, vision, ears, and smell and the result he got was quite shocking.

  He noticed something that the sense of smell seemed to be more active than all the others and it caused him some problems when he accidentally knocked himself out by the chloroform in his boratory.

  Yes, he had a boratory in his house, and it’s illegal to own one without a license in this age too. One more reason why he stays here alone.

  “This test shows some obvious things that are not natural but also acceptable to some extent after all these are not too ridiculous … did I get bitten by a mosquito… I should think of it as a spider for my better mental health… but no webs and six abs… it's concerning… weak spider I guess.”

  After getting bored again he did something that is pretty common now a days… he slept once again and didn’t bother with arm as its not going to work anyways.

  Summer, 16:00

  Location: Leo's house

  Somewhat around 16:00 Leo woke up, he was slowly opening his eyes when he remembered st night’s event and immediately tensed up.

  After a few minutes when nothing seemed to happen, he slowly opened his eyes and got up from his bed. He then checked himself thoroughly and after confirming nothing serious happened to him except the red marks all over his body which seemed to be fading. He got up from his bed feeling somewhat excited to survive such an ordeal.

  He suddenly tensed up as he remembered something and immediately checked his pants as if to confirm whether something precious was still there or not.

  He picked up his phone thinking about how to brag this about his friends when he noticed the time, which immediately stopped his brain from working properly, then he saw the missed call notifications which made him regret surviving the camity even more,

  “2 missed calls from mom huh…”, he said as he slowly removed the hand from the screen to view and got immediately scared when he saw there was a 0 beside 2 and the number didn't seem to end there.

  He removed another finger and saw the 1 beside 0 which immediately made his soul leave his body.

  "201 missed calls and even one from Dad"

  “What should I do now?”

  “I am fucked”

  He began to sweat hard, “I should calm down…”

  Calm…down…calm…down… take a deep breath…

  “Deep breath my ass…”

  He ran to the shower opened the valve to let the water fall and began to calm down and think about how to avoid this camity, afterall every second was now precious, his brain began to work overdrive but nothing seemed to work.

  Summer, 9:00

  Location: Station.

  Victor today left home in a hurry so he didn't get the time to see what happened yesterday, but immediately noticed something different about himself. So, on the way, he began to take note of the changes he felt and note it in his mind.

  He began to like the changes that he had discovered like his improved strength, agility, and senses, especially eyesight but what made him regret this was his sense of smell which he feels is more active than usual.

  The enhanced sense of smell had become a disaster because he was getting a feeling that he was in a sea of pollution. He was already feeling discomfort from the state where is was feeling exhausted and refreshed at the same time and the never-ending thirst and now with the added nausea.

  He was feeling the air he was breathing felt so bad that he was subconsciously stopping himself from breathing after a few intervals, but he suppressed his discomfort and tried to distract himself by thinking about what would have happened if this was 20 years ago when locomotives still run on combustible fuel.

  Nowadays with the success of the nuclear power generator, every vehicle runs on electricity. Now every city has one generator and a united power supply which provides sufficient energy that was previously used to run a whole country.

  Technology is truly a wonderful thing.

  He spent most of his time in the cssroom and distracted himself with anything to reduce the discomfort he was feeling due to the weird state and wired thirst which seemed never to go away.

  Finally, he returned home around 19:00 and never felt so gd to be here and slept immediately after eating something. After all he today had a long night waiting for him.
