The Perry Brothers - Ch. 27
Terri and Terry, 28 years old (the beginning is Terri's p.o.v)
Just another normal day. Nothing special. Get up, go to work. Wait. It seems like things are getting skipped. I forget everything I've done, right away. Whatever. There's something else weird going on. I can't figure out, what... Oh well. I guess, I should just carry on. I walk around town, but I don't seem to have a destination. I guess, I forgot about that too. There's no one to be seen. Hmm... Everything seems out of place. That's not, where the tree usually stands. I guess, trees can change places then. Wait, what? Something's not right. Well, things are always a little weird. But still... Wait. Where's Terry? Oh my god, where's Terry? This can't be right. I realize, that the whole left side of my body has been bandaged. I try to scream Terry's name, but I can't make a sound. Help! Where's Terry? I need to find him! Suddenly a car drives right past me. I fall down, but can't get up. I only have three tentacles. I should have four. It's a birth defect. Usually Terry helps, but now, he's not here. What am I going to do? I try to scream, but still, no sound. I drag myself to a patch of grass. How could this even happen? Someone comes and puts a white blanket on me. When it finally gets taken off, I'm lying on stage. The audience is full, and everyone looks familiar. Yet, I can't recognize any of them. The only thing on stage, apart from me, is an old typewriter. Nothing else. Someone stands up in the audience. It's Terry! I scream his name and...
Terri opens his eye. He's sweating and shaking. At first, he remembers nothing, but then starts to panic. He quickly looks over to his left and sighs in relief, as he sees Terry sleeping next to him. Still there, still attached. It takes him quite a while to realize, it was just a dream. It still frightens Terri. He just wishes he could hide somewhere and cry. That's how bad it was. There's a light in the hallway. Catherine is probably in the bathroom. Terry wakes up to Terri's heavy breathing. "Man, you're shaking all over. Did you have a nightmare again?" "A bad one. A really, really bad one." Terry sees his brother's fright. Terry always knows. There's nothing Terri could hide from him. "Do you want to talk about it?" "I-I don't know, I guess..." Terri starts explaining all he can. He's restless and slightly panicing. There's something that he realized. Something that touched him really unexpectedly. "I don't really no why this would be such a big deal, I just..." Terri sighs and looks over to his brother. Terry looks at him with a smile. It makes Terri feel a lot better. It makes him feel like he matters. "You know, I think I realized something. I guess, that I... I really need you." Terry's eye opens wide. He stops all of his thoughts. "And I don't mean just the obvious things, like sharing organs, having less limbs. I need you." Terry's eye is getting watery. His lower lip starts trembling. Terry is desperately trying to hold back. He quickly throws his arms around Terri and tries to sob quieter. Terri hugs him back with a big smile on his face. He has won the battle.
