Chapter 10 by SG SG

So what happens?

Hard to say.

Ashley was bracing for it. This was gonna be so weird. If she could still be anxious, she'd be sweating bullets right-

She felt an overwhelming pressure inside her. It wasn't limited to any part of her, but her whole body and mind felt like they were being compressed. As quickly as it began, it reversed and there was an expanding feeling. She leaned back in her seat and let out a sharp yelp - not one of pain, but of surprise. There was an immense tearing sensation - not unpleasant but very, very strange. She was sensing things on a level that until 2 seconds ago she couldn't have conceived.

It felt that tearing, like a million miles of velcro being wrenched apart. As soon as the velcro had fully detached, the sense of emptiness rushed in. It flooded its mind - there was so much space now, so much ethereal blankness as she, the thing it didn't know, was whisked off to some other place. Somewhere far away. It slowly began to sense things. The feet were pressed up against the windshield. The head was lolling limply, sweat breaking out along the brow. The man in seat next to it was panting, out of breath. He had ripped it apart. She had asked him to.

"Whoa." he said. "That was... intense." The head nodded, the tongue spoke.

"No kidding."

He turned to body. He looked scared. "How do you feel?"

The body regarded him. It wondered why he had asked that.

He looked concerned. "Ash? Are you ok?"

It sensed that he wanted an answer. The tongue spoke. "Ash isn't here. You're the only one here."

He replied, panic creeping into his voice. "Then who are you?"

It knew it wanted an answer. so the body spoke again. "There is no me. You are speaking to no one. You are alone in this car."

"So who's responding to me?"

"A body is responding to you. This body holds your wife's memories and personality. This body has all of your wife's physical characteristics. This body is what is speaking right now. This body is not your wife, though. This body is no one. You are speaking to no one."

Jamie groaned. He had been right. This was a bad idea.

Now what?
