Good morning all, doing my 5 minutes free writing with prompt - Beginning to Deteriorate. Hope you enjoy the story.
Kimmy woke up this morning after a week of long shifts. To his surprise, when he tried to stand up from his bed, he suddenly realized he needed support from his hands and not leaping off the bed like how he used to.
He also couldn't straighten his back in one movement, instead he had to do it in two. Sensing deteriorating condition in his body and changes in his daily activities, worried for his health, he decided to get a day's rest suspecting fatigue to play a big part, and to consult a doctor if things don't improve the next day.
Sure enough, next day, Kimmy don't see improvement, he went for a medical consultation. After a series of routine body check items, all the data and values comes back within the normal range. Kimmy's not convinced, the doctor sent him on an X ray of his spinal cord.
The results shows that the spinal cord is beginning to Deteriorate, the doctor explained to him that it is not to be alarm as he has aged, he's no longer the young man that jumps and run with a young body.
Man like Machine starts with an M, all the body parts begin to Deteriorate at some point as we are using them for daily survival and activities.
Thus at a point in life, we need to begin to preserve.
