THE

EFFECTS

by: Kalix Rouxel

PROLOGUE

It started the night after I got vaccinated. I felt a big urge to do something

that I can’t even imagine. The feeling of being controlled, you can feel dizziness

and somewhat you have fever. I take medicines to ease the pain. The next day, I

started to feel a strange urge like, somehow, I want to kill someone. I want to feel

how does it like to have a person begging on their knees because they wanted

you to spare their lives. I want to see a bloody color caused by their blood. I

kept telling to myself not to do it. Yet, it still happened.

Kiesha: “Good morning, hon” (greet her husband and kisses his lips)

Timothy: “Good morning, baby” (responds to her)

Timothy and Kiesha are a newly married couple. They just got married on December  7,

2020.

While eating their breakfast…

Timothy: “Did you get your jab last week?”

Kiesha: “ahmmm, yeah. Why?”

Timothy: “Was it painful when the doctor inject you with a needle?”

Kiesha:(laughs so hard) Wait… A..are you telling me you're scared of a small needle?”(continue laughing)

Timonthy: "Well,, Yeah a bit."

Kiesha: "(LAUGHS EVEN HARDER) A grown up man like you should’ve afraid of a tiny needle."

Timothy :"But I am. (with a childish voice)"

(They BOTH laugh at the kitchen counter)

THE DAY

OF TIMOTHY’S VACCINATION

(WALKING

TO THE HEALTH FACILITY NERVOUSLY)

 (FILLING UP THE FORMS GOT SCREENING, HAVING

ORIENTATION AND FINALLY INJECTED BY HIS FIRST DOSE)

Timothy: (calling his wife)

Kiesha: (picks up the phone)“ hey hon, are you done there?”

Timothy: “Yeah… and I think you better pick me up here, my one arm was not feeling

good.”

Kiesha: (laughs) “as expected to YOU, HAHAHA. I will be there in a minute, okay?”

Timothy: “alright, bye. “

(hangs up

the call)

At home…

Timothy: (lying in the couch)

Kiesha : (checking timothy) “GOD! HON.  You

should take a medicine, your fever is high.”

Timothy: (just nods as a sign that he approved)

Kiesha: (give his medicine) “Take a rest then when you need anything just call me,

okay?  “I still need to get things done at the office.”

Timothy: “noted.”

Kiesha: “I also listed the things that might help you, okay, hon?”

Timothy: “Copy

that, baby”

At the office, Kiesha is very worried. She did her best to manage the things as

early as possible.

(Her phone rings)

Kiesha: “Yes,hello, Madam Kate?”

Manager: “oh hello Kiesha, are you almost done to your task?”

Kiesha: “Ahmmm…Yes madam.”

Manager: “Sorry to ask but can you do me a favor?”

Kiesha: “ahmm..Yeah, sure” (she lied)

Manager:“ well, today, I'm supposedly having a meeting with our President. Can you go

there, for me? I’m not really feeling well today.”

Kiesha:“ Alright madam, will you send me the address together with the details?”

Manager:“ okay… Thank you so much, Kiesh.”

(Call ended)

While Kiesha in the meeting, her husband at home were very sick.

At home…

Timothy: (keeps calling his wife on the phone)

            “ Kiesh, pick up the call.”

Timothy is in really deep pain. He felt a big urge to do something that he can’t even imagine.

The feeling of being controlled, he can feel dizziness and somewhat he has

fever. He takes medicines to ease the pain. Then he falls asleep.

Later

that night his wife is exhausted coming from work. When she turns on the

lights, she found her husband lying and falls asleep at the floor. She tries to

wake him up, but her husband suddenly looks her with a psychopathic look and

then about to strangle her at the neck. Fortunately, she quickly pushes him

and run towards their bedroom. She called 911 while her husband banging the

door. After a few minutes, the response team come to help but in a Kiesha’s

shock, her husband is just fallen asleep at the couch as the response team come to

their place. When they wake up Timothy, he just said that he was just sleeping at

the couch while waiting his wife. He is so confused about why 911 is in their

house and why his wife didn’t wake him when she arrived.

That

night, her wife decided to go to another place for her to stay. Timothy is so

problematic from the statement his wife told her.

1:00 AM…

Timothy can’t really sleep. He takes sleeping pills and different pills to ease the

pain. However, it won’t go away. A minute passed, he heard someone talking to

him, but when he looks around, no one is in there. Later on, he then realized

that the person who was talking is coming from his head.

The next day, he started to feel a strange urge like, somehow, he wanted to kill

someone. He wanted to feel how does it like to have a person begging on their

knees because they wanted him to spare their lives. He wanted to see a bloody

color caused by their blood. Furthermore, he kept telling to himself not to do it. Yet, it

still happened.

He is now standing in front of a man dying in pain. He wanted to stop what he is

doing, but he can’t control himself. 

Later on, he was awake in a big white room. He was alone and trying to find a way to

escape, but there is only one door for the entrance and exit. Suddenly, it

opened with a person about to come in with a black suit and a mask. When that

person standing in front of him, he then whispers.

Stranger:“ YOU ARE BEING CHOSEN. COME WITH ME.”

Timothy:“ WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!!?” (angrily)

Stranger:“ I COME IN PEACE. SO DON’T BE ANGRY.”

Timothy:“ You called it peace when you … when I KILLED SOMEONE!!!?”

Stranger: (suddenly inject Timothy that causes him to falls asleep.)

Timothy’s

POV

I was

awake and found myself in a bedroom. I quickly get out of my bed and check

myself in the mirror. Furthermore, I was so imprecise if what happened was just a

dream or not. Then, I just concluded that it was just my dream.

I turned on my TV to watch news when I saw a report

about a dead person that brutally killed last night. I swiftly get my laptop

and search the news, and that was the time I realized that what odd happened

last night was not a dream.

(PHONE RINGS)

Timothy:“ Hey, baby.”

Kiesha :“ We need to talk.”
