I may be a corpse

Today I woke up cold . I stood up and my limbs were stiff . As stiff as terrible restaurant bread .

I got dressed and went to work only to be met by strange and terrified looks . My boss called me into his office . He was a strong man .

But upon sight of me he turned pale as if he had seen a corpse . He told me to have the day off . So I decided to go to a date . When she saw me she spewed vomit all over our table and shrieked and ran away . I went home burdened with a heavy sadness . Why did everyone look at me like I was some freak ??

I decided to look in a mirror to see what they saw . And too my shock I was met with a pale grotesque corpse looking back .

I think I may be a corpse . My lifeless face pale as if it were the dead middle of winter . My limbs are stiff with rigor mortis . My eyes gray as for the light has faded from them .

I'm a corpse, aren't I ??

.end.
