Mutant Recovery 09 (Final) (Patreon)

Story by Leena (@MyLifeIsARPG)

Recovery day 14

I had a series of blood tests today. It looks like my mutant gene has gone dormant. All my vitals check out. So I’m good to go. They said I could stay a bit longer if I wanted to get better at slithering on my tail, but I really wanted to get home.

No… it wasn’t just that.

I wanted to get out of here. To live my life. For two weeks I had been recovering and… things had changed. Not just my body but also… who I am. I wasn’t sure I even wanted to go back to my old job. Heck, with this body I wasn’t sure they’d let me. But that’s fine.

I felt… I felt like a new me to be honest. I used to be afraid of mutations but now… now this just feels… natural. It feels like it’s who I’m meant to be.

There’s going to be a lot of adjustment. I’m going to have to buy new clothes and readjust my apartment for my new body. But it won’t be so bad. Molly has to do the same and we figured we could do it together .We exchanged numbers so we can meet up once we are more settled.

My friends have been very understanding. Sure it’s a bit strange to see me this way but they still know it’s me. Heck, I’d even say it’s a better me. A healthy me. We will be back to having our movie nights soon enough. I’ll even invite Molly. They’d like her.

Its weird how medical emergencies can change the way you look at life. I’ve never been happier just to be alive. This new body feels so strong and healthy. I feel like I can do anything.

And right now I’m happy to do anything but lay in a hospital bed.

My new life starts here.
