Day 9-13 Sick as a Crab

Days 9 through 13: Battling Illness and Unraveling Mysteries

Greetings, fellow tank enthusiasts and curious minds! It's been a rather eventful couple of weeks since my unfortunate encounter with that BMW and the subsequent plunge into the world of time-travel. As much as I'd like to be regaling you with tales of epic tank battles and daring escapades, fate has had other plans for me recently.

You see, shortly after my return from the future, I came down with a rather peculiar illness. It's been wreaking havoc on my body, and I suspect it might be related to my time-traveling shenanigans. It seems that some kind of virus has taken residence in my system, slowly transforming me into... wait for it... a crustacean. Yes, you heard that right.

It all began with a strange sensation in the fingers of my left hand. At first, I thought it was just fatigue from all the time-traveling adventures, but it quickly became apparent that something more bizarre was afoot. The changes started small, almost imperceptible, as if my very cells were undergoing a mysterious metamorphosis.

Day by day, the transformation progressed, working its way up my arm. I've watched in awe as my hand slowly morphed into something resembling a claw, like that of a lobster. I've taken to wearing a glove to hide my newfound appendage, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep it a secret from my co-workers, especially the observant ones like Pirate Dan and, of course, my tall friend Jared.

Speaking of Jared, he's been an unexpected source of support and ingenuity during these trying times. In between bouts of research on crustacean-related afflictions, he's been tinkering away with his beloved Lego bricks. In a stroke of genius, he designed a custom controller for me to use in World of Tanks that's adapted to my crustacean hand. With this Lego-crafted masterpiece, I can still command my tanks with precision, even with my not-so-human-like appendage.

And let me tell you, dear readers, my newfound crustacean status has bestowed upon me a unique advantage in World of Tanks. My lobster vision—yes, you read that correctly—seems to provide an uncanny ability to perceive the battlefield with enhanced clarity. The tiniest details, like the texture of the terrain or the glint of an enemy tank's barrel, become vividly pronounced. It's as if I've unlocked a new level of tactical awareness that sets me apart from other players.

But I digress, and for that, I apologize. Let's get back to the main thread of my story. As I lie low, navigating my way through this puzzling illness and trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy, doubts have begun to creep into my mind. The matter of Zac and his clan of future lizard men clones weighs heavily on my thoughts.

It's no secret that my World of Tanks skills have earned me a reputation as a formidable adversary on the battlefield, but facing off against a conspiracy involving time travel, lizard people, and a co-worker from the future is a whole different ballgame. The odds seem overwhelming, and I can't help but question my abilities to combat this strange and sinister plot.

As I reflect on these uncertainties, I can't help but long for the comfort of my blue Ford Escape, which has been sitting idly in the repair shop, awaiting its return to the open road. The familiar hum of the engine and the feel of the steering wheel in my hands would be a welcome reprieve from the whirlwind of intrigue and transformation that has consumed my days.

And so, my friends, I leave you with this update from the depths of my crustacean-induced seclusion. The road ahead is shrouded in mystery, and the journey is far from over. Will I be able to unravel the secrets of my illness and uncover the truth behind Zac's ominous plans? Only time will tell. Until the next installment of this extraordinary journey, keep those tank turrets turning and your curiosity alive. Over and out!
