Transformation

Brian falls with the snow above him and the snow below him. The snow above keeps falling, until the sky opens and light floods the cave. Brian is stuck with a boulder crushing each limb. He flexes every muscle hoping to budge his way out but instead his torso is ripped from the rest of his body. Pink goo runs from Brian's new stubs and the wounds seal up quickly. This is the most fun Brian has ever had. First a snow ball fight and now the discovery of a mysterious cavern. Besides Brian's new absence of all four limbs this day has been quite a success. Brian ponders life for a few minutes and then rolls out of the cave. This new mode of transportation is fun.
Rollin rollin rollin... Rawhide! He's on a mission, a mission from God. Brian rolls through town at lightning speed and then screeches to a halt when the corner of his eye catches some naked ladies and flashing lights.

  1. Brian Bunderson rolled through the carnival a few times as though he were lost, and he acted like he had no limbs. All four were clearly intact, but I wasn’t concerned about his apparent insanity.

  2. A fire alarm sends me outside. The fire doesn't scare me much. Some people set fires just to kill things. Somebody in the crowd does scare me a bit. This guy doesn't have any limbs. After a while, I realize he's staring back at me.
    "Uh." I say.
    "What?"
    "You don't have any arms."
    "You're naked except for-"
    "You don't have any legs."
    "You're naked except for a pair of tube socks. You're the naked guy."
    "It's a fashion statement."
    "A lack of limbs is a way of life."
    "So, uh. How do you..."
    "I roll."
    "... Nice. My name's Leeroy."
    "Brian."
