Identity Theft

Transform into a slime, possess/control others

Chapter 1 by jedijohn jedijohn

The military base was located just outside of town, surrounded by trees on all sides. Other than a couple soldiers on patrol, it wass a mostly quiet night.

This lack of guards allowed a mysterious intruder to climb the fence surrounding the base without being noticed. Once on the inside of the fence, the intruder stopped to take in his surroundings. There really wasn't anything noteworthy about the exterior of the base, but he did see a window about 20 ft in front of him. To his right, he heard the sound of the patrol coming around the corner. He didn't have time to escape back over the fence, so he rushed to the window. It's unlocked, so he slid it up, jumped inside, and shut it right as the patrol unit came around the corner.

Inside, he found all manner of jars, each filled with liquids of different colors. One of them was separated from the rest, on a table on the other side of the room, with EXPERIMENTAL written on it. Inside the jar was a blue liquid. The student was curious. For some reason, he was inexplicably drawn to the liquid. He went over to the table and picked it up. Behind him, he heard a noise. He quickly put the jar down and turned around to look if he's been caught, but didn't see anything.

"Must have been my imagination," he thought.

Suddenly, he heard another noise from in front of him. The shattering of the jar on the floor. In his rush to check the noise behind him, he didn't put the jar fully on the table. The liquid in the jar behaved oddly. Instead of splashing everywhere, it all seemed to stay together, like jello. It landed on his shoes, and instead of staining them, it seeped right through them.

"What the fuck was that thing?"

As he backed away from the mess, he didn't see the shelf of jars behind him. He bumped into the shelf, and a couple more jars fell onto the floor. As the ingredients inside mixed, it was quite apparent that they weren't meant to. A gigantic wall of flame immediately formed, blocking him from the window he used to enter and triggering the fire alarm. Frantically, he looked around for an escape route. He spotted a ventilation duct behind the table, but the cover was firmly attached and wasn't budging. As he pulled, the fire spread to the other shelves, engulfing them. Soon, the entire room was nothing but an inferno of almost unbearable heat.

While pulling on the cover, he suddenly began to feel light headed. He struggled to stay conscious, but it was no use. As he began to hear shouting voices, he had one last thought before blacking out.

"Wait, am I flowing into the vent?"

Who is the intruder?
