             The sky. The lilac sky painted with citrus highlights stare right back at you as you lay on top of a completely collapsed skyscraper. Pressure and pain course through you as your body completes the nervous process of assessing your situation. You groan in agony as you attempt to lean up against one of the steel beams of once a magnificent building. You slam against the broken materials next to you as you see dots in your vision.

The lilac sky is painted with citrus highlights.

The battle against the green goblin was a first struggle for you. Sure you got cuts and slashes and bruises and left fights limping, you were impressively strong and agile, but when you elegantly swung towards the goblin, planning your next move, and your next, and your next, you didn't expect a 'villain of the week' to outsmart your moves.

Here you lay, a ghostly gash across the flesh of your neck, warm blood flowing down your décolleté. You feel your heart pound to create blood that won't save you. You feel it in your throat, your head, your tongue, your eyeballs. This is it. You fight it, gasping tightly holding your neck together.

"Not like this, not like this."

You say, gagging on blood and saliva repeatedly, the sunset you admired slowly dulls in color as you rest your body on the building. You let out a sarcastic and dying laugh as you grasp your situation, you think of your mother, your father, your best friend, as you utter your last debilitating words.

"I tried... I love you so much..."

You lay unconscious, dead on the collapsed structure, body turning white, bleeding out as the weight from your entire body, fat muscle and all turn into feathers as you drown into air.

Suddenly something has you slightly rolling your eyes subconsciously back into your senses, just barely. All you can make out is blue and red, like the colors of your spider suit. It's different, it's electric, it's on fire, it's magnetic. Before you can decipher anything you feel a pair of incredibly strong hands grip at your shoulders, pushing you in place against the broken building, your natural instinct is to fight as you sloppily punch at the arms holding your body down as your red fluid seeps out of you, as if it's doing anything.

An excruciating pain is found on the side of your throat as you brokenly scream in terror, eyes shooting wide open from just being emotionless, gasping for air that isn't there, only adding to the pain of your death.

Suddenly, your eyes burn like a building in flames, you try to close them to water down the flame, but it's no use. You keep screaming as you try to paw at the figure gnawing at your neck. When you bring your lips together to breathe you are met with a sharp sting. It is you, it is your teeth. When you swing to again hit the figure, you are met with blood on your hands as you extract your new and growing claws growing from your once normal fingers as your eyes burn red, and as your canines grow sharp you stare up at the bleeding sky.

The lilac sky is painted with citrus highlights.



You wake up, new to instinctively clawing and screaming at the holographic screen surrounding you, eyes so red you can see them yourself.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!!!!"

You yell as tears flow down your newly restored youthful and tinted cheeks, neck healed, not even a scar.
