I recently went to the doctor because I have had pain in my back and left side. [1] The doctor sent me down to a diagnostic office for X-rays. When those x-rays came back, my doctor thought he saw evidence of a pinched nerve. But that’s not what I saw when I saw the X-ray results. What I saw was that
There’s a big skeleton inside of my body!
It’s one of those big creepy skeletons much like you’d see on Halloween or in a horror movie. I’m not speaking metaphorically. I’m talking about a real skeleton. Apparently, this skeleton inside of me moves about when I move about. It imitates me. When I walk, it walks. It has a hideous grin. The doctor tells me that it is white in color, just like the skeleton bones you hear about in graveyards. [2]

I don’t think life will ever be the same for me. I don’t quite know what to do about this. Should I admit to my friends that I have this condition? Would they be able to handle that I have a skeleton in my body? Will they start seeing me as some sort of [4]animal? [4] Should I seek out a support group? What else is inside of my body? Bats? Ghosts? Living things that don’t even share my DNA? [5] This is creeping me out to have this bony alter ego.
I’m beside myself.
