Daye 14 / The Age Of The Time Storm

a day has gone missing
I don’t know how it could have been mislaid
but it’s gone
vanished
vamooshed
disappeared
evaporated
something extraordinary has happened
actually I may have lost more than a day
I can’t be sure at the moment
but I am investigating

and that’s not all...

whilst I slept
somebody or something
has rearranged my life
so when I woke up
this morning
everything had changed
I feel different
the date is wrong for a start
today should be a friday
but the calender says it’s saturday
I’ve fallen out of sync
I’m at least a day ahead of myself

and

last night at 3am
there was an electrical storm
in C.o.M.
a misty blue sphere climbed up
the telegraph pole opposite my window
hissing and humming
changing colour
shrinking and increasing in size
as it began to float back down the pole
it drifted towards my house
and passed right through the wall
through my head
and out through the wall behind me
and now the girl beside me is altered
she has the same face as harin
she has harin’s eyes
skin smells the same
hair is the regular colour
height and weight are as expected
she speaks with the same voice
pronounces her words in exactly the same manner as harin
sings with the same wavering voice
folds her clothes in the same way
when I quiz her she gives all the correct answers
picks out her favourite pair of shoes and dress
to wear to dinner
and I recognize the puzzled expression on her face
when I ask her if she remembers north walsham
but she is not who she appears to be
I even checked that little scar on the back of her neck
and it is still there...
and a day is missing
and I don’t know what to do about it
