You are a 17 years old by the name of Max. About 3 weeks ago you were told you had contacted The Inanimate Virus. You were told you were becoming a metal flashlight; evident by the fact the side of your left arm had a silver metal patch on it. Of course your parents freaked out like you were dying right then & there. You being more level headed asked the doctor "How long I got?" The doctor replied "3 months; kinda. The last 2 weeks you will head into the final stages of your transformation causing you to become immobile. At that time your mind will finally disappear causing you to cease be alive. You will be nothing but an object then." You looked to your parents & told them with a fake smile "You'll have a new flashlight soon." Your dad got mad asking "How can you joke about this? You are essentially dying." You looked at him serious & answered "After I finish use me whenever you need a flashlight." Your mom asked confused "What?" You answered "I'll be nothing but a metal flashlight. There will be no reason to treat me as anything else." Your mom cried. "I also don't intend to lock myself up like most people becoming inanimate objects. I got roughly 2 months left of life. I intend to live it." You informed them very serious.
