Metamorphosis 3

One morning, as Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible verminous bug. I should be so lucky. I was a lineworker. A medical facility lost power during an electrical storm. To save the lives of the patients on life support, I stupidly climbed a power line in defiance of all kinds of safety protocols. Struck by lightning, I fell into a vat of chemicals with a live power line in my hand. My body burned for months. A fire that would not go out, a fire that neither caused me pain nor consumed me. No good deed goes unpunished. Four years later, I married Jessica, and now we're having a baby. Can we settle down and raise a family? What kind of life will we have? What kind of baby will we have? And what will happen when I meet my in-laws in person for the first time? Guess what's coming to dinner.
