Metamorphosis Alternate ending
As he lay there on the floor in his empty room on his crippled, fragile, insect molded body, he heard the sound of the front door slam and the family vehicle speed out of the driveway. Gregor leaped up in a panicked, stunned state and stood in perfect stillness on his hind legs. A gleaming, bright ray of sunlight caught his eye through the crack of his door. Gregor slowly guided his way toward his door in agonizing pain while trying to keep himself stable. As he peered thought the door, he slowly opened it wide enough for his large figure to slip through. When Gregor emerged from his depressing room, he followed the light to find himself looking at his reflection. Once again, Gregor stood there, frozen. His train of thought suddenly changed from nothing to all things negative. At that moment, Gregor realized that the fight he fought wasn’t against him and his family, but against himself.
As he stood in front of his dismantled reflection, Gregor began to examine himself. At first, he slightly repented away from the mirror enough to just see his back. The image of the apple lodged deep within him revived the memory of him as a young boy and how his father would savagely beat him. The memories of the tears and pain he trapped inside him for all those years suddenly gave Gregor the feeling of a scratching, dry sensation down the front of his neck as he tried to keep emotions trapped within him. Gregor then slowly tilted his head up and stared at his face in the direction where his cheeks would be located if he were still in human form, where the memory of his mother kissing them each day before he left to school and almost silently whispering words of encouragement in his ear came into his mind as he shed a single tear on the inside.
Gregors reflection in the mirror suddenly moved without the approval of himself and stared at him. It took five seconds for Gregor to fully process his reflection moving by itself. The other part of him on the other side of the mirror began to emerge from the mirror. As the reflection of Gregor emerged from the mirror, the moment it touched the outside world, it slowly morphed into Gregors human self. Gregor, shocked as anyone would be in this situation,
Human nature consists of disappointment, stupidity, and loneliness. The ongoing feijieling of fitting in and being like everyone else is the goal the majority of humans aim for. There are people out there that go on about being different, expressing yourself. There is a difference between believing strongly and having a passion for it other than lying in order to “fit in and be loved for being a two faced person. We often forget that we are nature. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we’ve lost connection with nature, we’ve lost connection with ourselves.
The torture tolerated by Gregor throughout the years he has spent putting up with the struggles of his life mentally damaged him. Gregor went into deep thought.

He jotted down the moment and memories he has shared with his family. As soon as he changed only his sister was there with him. She is one of the few people in this populated world that sees through the imperfections and informalities humans have due to their appearance. She looks for more in her brother other than his appearance. They are family and she treats his as her brother, not an insect.
Trying to epoch the time in his existence to where he went wrong (Epoch- a period of time that is very important in history)
Paradoxes-a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth.
Diminish- to make or cause to seem smaller, less, less important, etc.; lessen; reduce. **As time went on, Gregors family Diminished the existence of their disappointment of a son who miraculously transformed into a abnormal insect**
Mental breakdowns hidden behind the walls of his appearance.

As he slowly slipped away from his unstable grip on life, his mind was set on his family.

Change Deprived him of his life. Because he wasn’t in human form, he was treated unequally. He had a different mind than the others did.

Inspiring Quotes
The greatest thought of control is when you think you’re free, when you’re being fundamentally manipulated and dedicated to. One form of dictatorship is being in a prison cell and you can see the bars and touch them. The other one is sitting in a prison cell but can’t see the bars, though you think you’re free. What the human race is suffering from is mass hypnosis. We are being hypnotized by people like this: news readers, politicians, teachers, lectures. We are in a country and in a world that is being run by unbelievably sick people. The chasm between what we’re told is going on and what is really going on, is absolutely enormous. – David Icke
