Yes

As Gerald felt the grossest he has in his entire life and fell back on the bench he absorbed a strange book, and they began to feel very strange indeed. As it had turned out the bench hadn't been completely ignored by easily dozens and dozens of people who had come across the bench, which of course statistically makes sense, even when a bench is wet people will eventually sit on it so the same would go for a slimey bench especially if your to tired to care. Though the loner that eventually decided to sit down on said bench didn't do so because they were tired but for some...different...reasons, they lay down a very unorthodox book on the bench beside them and they had a strange face as they enjoyed the slimey feeling of the bench and how it soaked into their pants. This weirdly evil and cruel expression as the book seemed to glow slightly, the strange pervert soaking in the feeling of the slime through their clothes and making sounds that could be described as a laugh, only leaving when it had turned midnight the day before Gerald had come back into consciousness.

This book as a result ended up in Gerald's slime girl form as he finally figured out how to expel stuff from his slime form but after taking in the book he felt very strange, as if the book was made to be compatible with his newfound biology he gasped and screamed as it seemed to take hold far to easily. Like a hostile takeover it seemed to try and program his new self, his will flared up again, he might not have entirely understood this new body he commanded but like hell if he was gonna let life, much less his specific life be torn away from now that he had come back from what he thought was a slow descent into non-life. He struggled against an active **** fighting against him unlike him obtaining this form, he was terrified of what would happen if he lost this fight as he struggled on, clenching his strangely shaped eyes shut and holding his head as the book continued to glow brighter and brighter.
