Symbiosis

The pills had been for sale now for close to 5 years. they were "reputed" to cause wait loss, greater memory retention, and a near illegal gain in muscle mass. Regular use resulted in a marked improvement in all areas, but in the past six months another addition to the mix was resulting in an unlisted and still unknown effect.

Parasitical Takeover

I'd had heartburn for the past weak and wasn't surprised to wake up to the feel of my stomach being boiled in acid. If this kept up much longer I would need to schedule an appointment with a doctor. Probably should do it today. Ant-acids weren't really doing the trick. Other than that though i felt on top of the world. Time to stay in and have a day all to myself.

That is when the pain started. Lances it of shooting from my belly up my spine. All through my body. Agony. Fire unlike anything I had experienced before. It quickly overwhelmed me and i lost consciousness.

Parasite

When I awoke i found i was hungry. Extremely hungry. Without consciously trying , I found myself getting up and going to the fridge to get something to eat. I tried to stop myself to gather my thoughts. Found my body wouldn't stop. It kept moving of its own volition. So I tried harder. Still nothing , not even a momentary stumble or twitch as my body began to get out food and consume it.

I tried everything. Stopping my hands in there tracks. No results. Moving my feet out from under me. Not a fall. I even tried to stop breathing. Even such a simple thing as holding my breath had been taken away from me. My body was no longer mine to control. I had no idea why , but I was no longer in conscious control of my body.

What was going on? Was this some strange sort of delirium? Was I sleepwalking , but conscious of it? Would I forever be trapped in my own mind? My body going about my daily routines while i watched from this infernal prison? Would anyone at all notice and save me? Was there any way to save me?

My Body was finally done eating. Next it went in and took a warm shower. Got dressed. I fought it every step of the way to no avail. Nothing i did mattered in the least. It showered at just the right temperature and dressed in just the right clothes. I tried to twist the knob just a little to make it to hot or cold. To no effect. Couldn't get it to choose the wrong clothes. In the end all i can do is watch as it goes about its day. I am not going to do so without fighting every step of the way though.

Now it is getting ready to go out to the car. Grabbing the keys , wallet , and checkbook. Strange that it left my cigarettes behind and hasn't had a shot of liquor. I never leave for work without those. This is my body though. Strangely enough i don't even feel the need for either in this prison the prison that my mind has become.

Getting in the car to go to work. Lets see how it handles all the other secretaries and the boss. Without its mind to run it. Should be a laugh. No this is strange , it isn't going the right direction for work. This seems more like the direction for the bank. Now what would it need from the bank.

“Hello How may I help you today?” asks the nice teller from behind the counter.

“I wish to close my accounts today.” answers my body.

It wants to do what. That is all the money i have earned in my entire lifetime. What Could It possibly be planning to do with all that money. I didn't care. If there is one thing that makes me mad. It is someone messing with my money.

This time I threw everything I had into getting control of my body back. My anger , fear , everything. I felt it start to work. My body once again was becoming my own. Then pain started to shoot through my brain. Pain like the worst headache you could ever imagine. Consuming my head in thunder. I rode it like a tornado. Ever afraid of falling off. Too afraid of what would happen if i did.

“You will die” I heard boom through my head from all directions.

“Then I will die free” I boomed back. Thinking so hard that it made may head hurt even worse.

With that I lost touch with reality. Fell into blessed unconsciousness.
