He was a little hesitant, but he’d eaten bananas before and this one looked fine, so he peeled it and took a bite, smiling at the little girl as he did. The little girl made munching motions with her mouth, implying that she wanted him to finish it. He did so, not wanting to offend her. She clapped excitedly as he pulled the last piece from the peel and popped it into his mouth. She squealed with joy, saying things in her native language that passed right through Chris’ American head. She kept repeating the same word, and before long, that alien word began to sound like “mommy” to Chris’ ears.
Chris was beginning to feel a little weird. Deciding it was time to reunite with his family, he smiled and bowed to the little girl. He turned and was about to leave when he heard,
“You can’t go yet!”
“Whoa, you speak English?” Chris asked, surprised. “Wait…why does my voice sound…”
The word coming out of Chris’ mouth were no longer english. He didn’t know what language it was, but for some reason it all made sense to him. He pulled out his phone in a panic and dropped it in shock as he realized that the letters on the phone no longer made sense to him.
“What did you do to me?!” he yelled.
