There was only one way to describe my job that day, and it was horrible. Someone got trigger happy with the price gun and incorrectly priced half of the store. My job, since I am overqualified to bag groceries was to hunt these items down and change the price.

I got home close to 6 pm, ready to devour another box of cookies only to find Amy in my kitchen wearing what looked like goggles and a trash bag. As I got closer I realized that she was indeed wearing a trash bag along with my rain boots and rubber kitchen gloves and was using the broom to sweep boxes into a trash can. Boxes that looked very similar to the ones I had stored away the previous night.

"Ames! Stop what are you doing!" I yelled reaching for the broom. She pushed me back a terrified expression on her face.

"TELL ME YOU DIDN'T EAT THOSE COOKIES! TELL ME!" She was screaming in my face and shaking me like a rag doll.

" Uhmm...well... not those... but I had a box at work today and one last night..." I mumbled scared to meet her eyes for some unknown reason.

" Are you stupid? Do you not read the news?" She continued shaking me, and i was sure I would suffer from whiplash the next morning. "Those cookies were recalled, because the company is being sued. They made those next to a power plant that exploded and a bunch of people have come out with crazy side effects"

She stopped shaking me, but my brain was still spinning, all i heard was Explosion, lawsuit, side effects and something about extra limbs. I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts, as Amy handed me her cell

I skipped most of article since Amy had already taken care of the disposal, blal bla bla there was nothing new until. No that was not possible. There was no way that could happen. Someone had woken up to find they had grown another head, another person grew a tail. What kind of tail?  I wondered.

Focus! My mind yelled at me.

I felt myself panic I didn't want to die, and I did not want to grow another head.I could barely stand to hear myself sometimes, there was no way I would survive another me. And the article didn't mention how these people were dealing with the new changes it just had their story and that was it.

"Rumor has it the government took them to a secret location and is experimenting on them. Wouldn't put it past them, though." Amy answered as if reading my thoughts. Maybe she was, maybe that's how she knew about the cookies.

"Amy how did you hear about this" i asked with a shaky voice, as i set the phone down on the counter.

"It was all over the news. The person with the tail gave an interview, guess it just happened a few days ago since he was still out. But soon after the interview his family filed a missing person report." She explained leading me to the sitting area.

" Hey listen to me, not all the boxes are bad, just a few since they were moving to the warehouse when the explosion happened. People are just mad that they operated so close to a power plant. You will be fine. And I will still love you even if you grow a tail, I'm not sure I can deal with two heads though. That's just weird."

I laughed at her attempt to cheer me up, Because it did. The worse that could happen would be having another me to talk to.

" You promise, Ames" I yawed as a leaned my head on her shoulder, work and now this bomb were all i could handle for a day.

"Yeah I promise, as long as you don't grow to heads, I'll be here."

"Ok. Goodnight Amy, wake me when the pizza get here."
