Thumb Thoughts

One moment I was talking to my four brothers and the other moment countless others joined us. They spoke like we do and they were too many to count. There was a bright light, a sharp pain and then everybody was gone. I could hear their voices but it sounded like they were in someone's pocket. Cold and uncomfortable cloth was all around me and I felt movements. Then I was back in the bright light. It was unbearably cold and I felt somehow separated. There were muffled voices and they sounded unbelievably hostile. I had no idea where I was or how I had gotten there. I just felt many glances all over me. When I looked down at
myself I nearly started crying. My skin was blue and where my brothers used to be there was nothing. I was homeless!
Suddenly many others were with me again, talking to each other like I wasn't there. How humiliating!
And then I felt whole again. I could feel the blood running through my veins again, I could hear the heartbeat again. But something was different. The blood tasted different and the heartbeat was so much stronger than it used to be. I
could hear only muffled voices, I was wrapped in cloth again. I wanted to talk to them but because of the cloth I could not move and so I could't speak. Somehow I started to feel sorry for myself even though I had no reason to.
When the cloth was finally removed I saw the world from a completely different angle. Many brothers and sisters touched me and wanted me to help moving. I was
completely stiff because I hadn't been moving for ages - or so it felt. The brothers next to me were complete strangers. They introduced themselves as Lyles. Why Lyle? My name's Raines and everybody around me used to have the same
name. "Look at yourself," one of the Lyles said, "You belong here now. You have taken the place of Lyle 1st and even though your name might have been Raines it has now changed to Lyle 1st. Live with it." With that they all turned away and didn't talk to me anymore.
I couldn't change the fact that I had been moved and I started to live with the fact that I wasn't welcome like I had been back with my brothers named Raines.
Time went by and I didn't even realize how much time. Hard to say if that's a good or a bad sign.
They were all around me. Five of them, hurting me, squeezing me, trying to push me from the place I belonged. They were female. I always thought that all my sister were gentle and caring. Not like THEM. Oh my goodness, it hurt and I
couldn't think of anything else but that incredible pain. I was trying to evade those sisters but they were around me whatever I did. They let go of me and the only thing I could think of was a fresh blood supply. I felt numb because they
had stopped the circulation by nearly squeezing me to death. Then they were back. Squeezing even harder than before. It was unbearable. I guess I lost consciousness for some time because the next thing I remember is that all nine Lyles crowded around me and tried to comfort me. All hostility was gone, they treated me like their brother and for the first time in weeks, maybe months, I felt like I belonged here and maybe I do, and they even started calling me Raines 1st. I just wonder what happened to Lyle 1st. Where did he go? And what
is in the place where I used to live?
