Awaken (Part 1)

Jason awoke with a terrible headache. He hadn’t quite remembered falling asleep on the couch, but he figured he must’ve dozed off while watching television, even if he couldn’t remember it. He groaned, noting how the sound coming from his throat seemed weird. Then he rolled onto his stomach, also realizing something about his body felt odd. He heard a few footsteps and saw a shadow looming over him. He turned his head slightly and said, “I have a headache. I just want to get back to napping.”

He didn’t even have time to register the odd tone of his voice. Instead, he was shocked to see that the figure standing next to him was...well, him. Or rather, it was his body.
