It’s dark. You can’t know what time it is. In this little fraction of a moment you are unmoored from all that, not yet awake, no longer sleeping. Information comes in little tactile fragments of sense-data that take a few good moments to parse. Sweat clings between the fabric of your shirt and your back, gathering unpleasant heat. The side of your face pressed down against the couch cushions feels itchy and raw. You’re lying down, you remember that. Now you’re in the living room. You were watching something before, weren’t you? That must be why you're here. [[Where are you?]] [[Your stomach hurts.]]

Your bare feet touch something slick and grimy. Your nostrils curl at the sudden overpowering smell of human waste and toxic cleaner. You stand in the middle of a dimly lit bathroom, the off-blue lights flickering above. The mirrors are all cracked and smeared with grime, graffiti lines the plastic walls either side of you. You realize then where you’re standing. Peeking forward you can see the urinals behind the two other dividers, the stall in the corner by the wall. Something creaks shut behind you. Instinctively you whip around in a single clumsy motion to try and face whatever inexplicable dangers that thing wants to throw at you next. All you see is a wall. A wall, and a single pipe jutting from the floor in place of where a urinal should be. You’re alone. Or, it wants you to think you are. Is this another test? You’re not sure what it even wanted from you but you Know you made it angry before. Part of you expects hands to come from the walls or your skin to catch fire any second now. That doesn't happen, though - minutes pass and it’s still just you standing there. When you finally move, it’s to bolt out that door just about a foot to your left. Strangely, when you try to breach the threshold of the dividers,l a sudden sharp pain shoots out from within your chest. You lurch back instinctively, hands clutching the walls, sweat beading down your face. Your feet plant themself down firmly in the horrible nameless puddle pooling by the line and no distance is achieved. You find yourself continuously making nervous glances at the pipe jutting out behind you. At first you think it’s that your nervous youll fall and cut yourself on it but… no. that’s not it. There’s something about this weird little exposed bit of plumbing that just draws your attention, holds it even while the rest of you desperately scrambles for some manner of escape plan from this. The lights are still on in here, right? That means it’s not abandoned. If i twon’t let you leave, you can stay here, make noise, and someone will come. Right? You agree with yourself, that’s right. You should stay here. The glint of the pipe catches your eye again. You find your legs [[Shifting uncomfortably.]]

That end looks… remarkably clean, doesn't it? The only thing here not covered in rust or bodily waste. You know it’s not a part that’s supposed to be exposed, it’s to connect the toilet to the septic system.Like the drain pipe. You… know it shouldn’t be here like this. Something’s supposed to go there. You should cover it. It shouldn’t be standing incomplete like that. You need to sit down on the- Revulsion fills you as you catch the strangeness of your own thoughts. Is that what it wants from you? Skewer yourself to death on some urinal pipe? You won’t do that, you can’t. There’s no reason you couldn’t wait here until help arrived. You weren’t giving that freak what he wanted. Time passes, though. The constant overbearing smell of piss and shit and fading bleach burns acrid on the back of your throat. The exposed pipe sits there, waiting, glistening. Your knees begin to lock up and shudder every few seconds - forces you to lean against one of the dividers to stay upright. Nobody has come yet and you don’t know how long you’ll have to do this. It’s when the tugging starts again that you finally buckle. That same sharp feeling in your chest, your gut, leading you backwards toward the wall. It comes in short pangs at first, lingers a little longer each time. The feeling makes your body think it’s unraveling. You can’t stand it anymore. The bathroom tile is cool and rank. You’re at eye level with it now. It sits there, waiting. You see thin strands of something wet gather along it’s rim. Another pang hits as you wrestle off your pants. Another as you lose your shirt. The air feels all too hot against your tingling skin as you spread either leg. Your asshole clenches, puckers, twitching on its own. You grab either side of your ass and let out a slow terrified whine as you gently ease yourself down upon it. A puff of cool air hits from the inside of the pipe. It tenses like a poised cobra. The walls around you groan for just a moment as it lunges inside. Your stomach distends. It snakes into your body and roots itself deep. You can immediately feel yourself go limp, skin tingling, something noxious brewing in the back of your throat. The pipe thickens inside you, or your body thickens around it, and suddenly you can’t feel your arms or legs. You see your hands disappear into your wrists with the scraping sound of skin on porcelain. There’s no moving, no flailing, and soon you can't even move your head to see them dwindle away to the shoulders. Your face feels stiffer than it should, now. Saliva pooling thick. You see the off-white spreading up your body as you lose your feet, then your legs. Everything inside you seems to churn into itself. That smell is overpowering now. You can't close your mouth anymore as it widens. You can feel your chest and stomach crack inward alongside it. The indents make a uniform cavity along the whole of your body. You can still taste the pooling water where your lower teeth should’ve been even after your tongue flattens out into a puffy urinal cake. Your eyes swell shut. Hair follicles litter the floor. You can still feel your shirt hanging limply around your midsection, half soaked in the water. When the first man comes in you can smell the sweat pooling along his groin from the other side of the room. Vomit won't come, urinals don't have gag reflexes, so you taste every drop of his rank piss trickling down your drain pipe. Every inch of you strains to move, to fight, anything, but you lack the parts to even wiggle in place like this. The man finishes up with a satisfied grunt and spits a wad of flem into your mouth. He doesn't flush, so it sits there and congeals. [[You are a urinal in a truck stop bathroom.]]

Imobile, always drowning on piss and spit and toilet water. Despite your silent pleading nobody really notices the wet rags lying around you that used to be clothes. Some apathetic janitor sweeps them up without a second thought and nothing human remains. Time passes slowly here. Part of you hoped that your brain would shut off at some point but it doesn't. Urinals don’t sleep, either. You taste every single drop of fluid that gets forced into you in a day, always alert, imobile, filthy. The smell coats every inch of you inside and out. Years pass. Less and less people come each day. You don’t know what’s going to happen when this place closes down. Part of you hopes it stops there, they smash your body and you blink out of existence. But you've had a lot of time to think about it, and you’re starting to worry it might not be. There’s nothing inside you that should be alive right now, is there? Why would that change when they shred you into raw material for something else? How long is forever, really, anyway? You tell me. [[LATE NIGHT WITH MR DOOR]]

The air is cool on your face as you step forward. Old wooden floorboards creak beneath your weight. You stand in the middle of a living room, but not your own. This place seems both far older and newly empty. Something creaks shut behind you. Instinctively you whip around in a single clumsy motion to try and face whatever inexplicable dangers that thing wants to throw at you next. All you see is a wall. Confused, you stumble around the empty house. Down its winding hallways, past its empty closets and meticulously disassembled drawers. The entire place is clean, but in a distinctly sterile way. The scuff marks from where couches and end tables used to be are fresh enough that they contrast violently with the wood. You feel a pang of sympathy at the sight of it. Those bruises. The thought of having scrapes like that, of losing all your furnishings at once, it upsets you in some visceral way. It doesn't really occur to you to question why exactly you’re associating so much with this house. Why do you keep rubbing your hands over where you think those scuff marks would be if they were translated onto a human body? Those feel like deeply unimportant questions - utterly dwarfed by your growing desire to see every inch of this building. You refuse to leave until you do. You wander through its floors. This place is bigger than you thought it’d be. There’s a second floor with a laundry room, a few bedrooms, some little nook for reading or maybe an instrument. You can vividly imagine what it’d feel like to have a grand piano sitting here in that little alcove. To feel it pressing against your walls just slightly. …You //do// notice the 'yours', there. That one gives you pause. [[There’s still more house to see though. ]]

Yeah, there is! You can’t leave yet! You still need to see everything in this place. To run your hands along all its corners! There’s no leaving until you can feel each footprint and memorize the grain of each wall. Your hands drag along the walls in that central hallway. They come back freshly dipped in wet paint. You find it strangely unpleasant to remove them when it’s time to descend back through the first floor and into the basement. Your palms feel sore and raw. The basement is dark. You could turn the little dangling lightbulb on by tugging its chain. You don’t want to do that, though. No, it’s not right to. The dark is important here. This is an empty place, the lights shouldn’t be on. Not until the new people arrive. The words new people send a shiver down your entire body. It ripples through the concrete floor, settles in the foundation. You know new people will come to live here. They have to, it’s what houses are for! You can imagine it, a new family settling in. Making meals in the kitchen, playing in your mudroom, thrashing on your bed- Your. Your your your your your. You… you’re you, right? Yes you are. You have to be. Your feet sink into the concrete like it was wet cement. The stone feels cool and smooth. You know who you are. You’re yourself, you’re your body and your actions and the associations those carry. Why did you describe the house as yourself? Why does the thought of someone running their hands along the water pressure valve make you let out an involuntary whimper? Why are you thinking about feet on your carpet, stains on your walls, dents and scuff marks and clogged pipes? You’re you. You know you are yourself. If the house is you, then… You feel your groin settle into the basement floor. It leaks like a faucet as it into the material. Your stomach is next, your pectorals. It feels like every part of you is powder dispersed in a boiling liquid. It feels so right to fill all this space. Your feet are stretching and splintering off into pipes and insulation and tiling, your lungs into heaters and ventilation. Your veins electrical wiring, your eyes, the widows. Your groin, the bedroom, your skull, the roof, your spirit, the lingering pressure that sits between the walls. You know what you are, now. You can feel your flesh repurposed into their proper functions. Furniture grows in orgasmic blooming motions from the scuff marks in the floor. Paintings push from the walls. You feel the little pieces of yourself dispersing into the language of architecture. You know what you are. [[You’re a house. ]]You need to be occupied.

It feels right to sit here. To peruse your own confines. Emptiness hurts you, at first, but you find yourself slipping into a warm nothing as the days stretch by. When someone finally does buy you, steps inside, it’s a sensation there are no human words for. Every inch of yours is an erogenous zone. You leak from every faucet, smell from every bed. The mere act of being used is so mind meltingly perfect that it immediately became the center of your very being. You love your owners so much. You don’t know what they look like, not really, but you don’t care. They occupy you and that makes them perfect. You cherish them every moment they spend with you. Time passes quickly when they're away. When the years go by and you're empty again, you grieve in the very core of your foundation. More years go by. You are full again, and it is perfect until they leave. Years go by. This cycle is all you are. All you’d ever want. Your only fear (insofar as a house can have one) is that you may outlive humanity as a whole. That doesn't seem likely with the state of you all these decades in, but the thought still gives you pause when you feel yourself going empty once more. [[LATE NIGHT WITH MR DOOR]]

You can hear the call of sea-birds in the distance. Your ankles sink just slightly into wet sand as something creaks shut behind you. Instinctively, you whip around in a single clumsy motion to try and face whatever inexplicable horrors that thing wants to throw at you next. All you see is open sands. The sky above is a featureless grey, the smell of salt and dead fish hangs heavy in the air. Wherever you are, there aren’t any signs of human life. Not from where you’re standing. From the bits of old shells and drying lumps of algae you’re guessing this must be low tide? So if you turn around and walk hopefully you can at least get onto the beach proper before the tide comes in. You take a few steps forward. The sand clumps thick and wet between your toes. It’s kind of an odd texture for sand - thicker and a great deal more oily than what you’d expect from looking at it. There’s a surprising amount of effort needed to lift up your feet at all. All of you feels just slightly heavier than it should. You’re not sticking around for that thing to find you again, though, so you have to trudge forward. It’s… weird. It’s weird here. You expect to find the point where the sand dries up, where you can see the rest of a beach and maybe even roads and people. That never comes, though. You’ve been walking for at least an hour now and all you’ve seen is that flat expanse of exposed seafloor. The wet clings to your ankles, sweat beads down your face. It’s been getting hotter out here since you've started moving. Part of you wonders if you were sent here to die of exposure. Make you wander around through the shore somewhere until you dry up. And dry really is the operative word here. God your skin is raw. You find yourself cringing at every little rub of sand against your thighs or ankles, the constant chafing of it all. Your clothes are absolutely ruined by now. There’s this terrible layer of thick sweat accumulating between the fabric and your body that makes all of the little movements even more unpleasant. You wipe a handful of viscous grease from your face. The strands of it cling to your fingers. You can see the skin growing mottled along your thighs. [[The sky above is unmoving. ]]

There’s no way of knowing how long it’s been. The tide should’ve come in by now. Right? It feels like hours but you aren’t even getting anywhere. You think you might recognize that rock over there from when you passed it a few minutes ago. …You’ve been walking in a straight line. Directions are hard to process while your senses are being overwhelmed by the intolerable wet heat and the movement of your body against itself. Some half remembered factoid about people dying of hypothermia feeling the sensation of heat is the only thing that’s prevented you from taking these pants off. Your shirt is so wet you can see the flattening curves of your chest through it. You’ve been feeling something like a rash along parts of your skin for a while now. So bumpy, so thick with mucus-sweat… You- fuck it. This is horrible. You have to get these off. When you scramble out of your pants and kick them aside into the dirt you finally get a good look at your lower body. The rash has settled in deep, now. Your skin is mostly this terrible reddish-pink with this viscus film over it. Running your clumsy hands along their surface you feel sagging handfuls of loose skin. All of you seem to be melting down in this heat. Your stomach has been churning terribly, bile thick in your mouth. It’s getting harder to fit your tongue in your mouth in a way that doesn't have its full weight lolling out to dangle against your neck. You can’t really move it, either, but… that’s not important. You have to keep moving. Your shoulders sink involuntarily. Lifting your arms becomes hard enough that the part of you trying to get you out of this alive just disregards it as an option entirely. Most of you is limp and dangling now. Pooling slime, wriggling against yourself. Drool constantly splattering against your oily chest. Eventually, you take one step too many and something pulls tight. For just a single moment you feel skin ripping loose. Wet meat sloughing free. There’s a peeling sound as a chunk of your leg falls into the sand. You can see it wriggling slightly, this eel-thing tying itself into coils and wrapping around you in some effort to pull food free. The place where it fell from doesn't bleed. You can see other squirming bodies like it fill to take up the new space. All of them stir at once. Your tongue swells several feet long and drops with a meaty slap from your face. Insides wriggle in blind animal panic. You can't really walk anymore, not with any real purpose. Instead you just toddle back and forth. You’re literally falling apart! The panic centers in your brain are screaming. But all that mental effort can’t seem to translate into anything more than blind gyrations forward. Your arms fell off a while back. The meat fell free and a pile of eels unspooled from it. Each so thick with a slime that seems to permeate every part of you now. Annexcerpt from an old documentary fires in your increasingly mushy brain. Hagfish. That’s what these are called. They live in the deepsea and feed on carrion. You can see the trail of them you’re leaving behind you nibbling at the scraps of shed human skin. No bones, only cartlidge jaws. That’d explain the increasing horrible softness in you. They’re coming from your body, aren’t they? Falling away in clumps and leaving less and less of you behind. Part of you wants to laugh, but your muscles refuse to expend the effort. Instead you waddle a few more steps forward on the stumps of your knees, then fall flat on your stomach. The wet sand feels right. Your torso feels numb and wet. That’s about all that’s left of you now, torso. You look more like a crumbling leather sack filled with worms than anything anyone could approximate as human. All of it’s fallen away in heaving piles of hagfish, left to panic in the open air. Some of them bite chunks from you. You can’t tell if they wormed their way towards you from the outside or if they just ate from within. Thoughts are hard in general now. In the time it takes to remark on a sensation it's already been scrubbed away. All you can do is fumble for any threads of coherence as you lose yourself to the mass. Eyes now, cheeks. Three from the scalp. One born from each ear. Nostrils. Forehead. Skull. Brain. [[You’re a pile of eels.]]

The last thing you ever consciously feel is the tide rolling in. They eat your leftovers in a matter of minutes, and the ones who don’t disperse are set to breeding. Many of them die in the ocean. By predator or starvation or fishing boat. Some complete their cycles and make young who in turn attempt cycles of their own. None hold the capacity to register what they are, disparate pieces taken from a central body. Any remnants of you left in the gestalt between them only knows vague sensations. Pressure, hunger. Fear. It’s wet. [[LATE NIGHT WITH MR DOOR]]

There’s something in the air, it’s the first thing you notice on stepping through the door. Your first instinct in the moment is to cover your face, to curl up and brace yourself for whatever electrical death trap this thing has left for you. But… no death comes. Your eyes are glued to the monitor as soon as you notice it. It’s an older model, boxy and squat with see through cyan-tinted plastic casing along the sides. It’s resting on its modem, both caked with dust… A cable in the wall connects it to an ethernet port, the little green connection light flashing in the pitch black room. You can only see the rest of your environment in those flashes, brief glimpses of wood and bare concrete and cardboard. You grope along the wall for a lightswitch, but only succeed in bumping into a cobweb covered stack of cardboard boxes. You cough and rub at your eyes as you stumble back. Seems the computer desk is the only spot in this place not stacked wall to wall with someone's trash. If there’s a door here you can’t reach it. Well, shit. With nothing else to do, a curious hand gravitates towards the old modem. You press into the little groove of the button until it gives a satisfying click. Fans whir to life, machinery thrums. On the screen, a black and white checkered plane stretches endlessly. Polygonal shapes float above in crudely rendered 3d - framing the spotlight shining down in the middle of the screen. Big floating wordart text swoops in, one letter at a time, splat sound effect playing for each one. (text-colour:black)+(bg:white)[(text-style:"buoy")[SKUNKWARE OS 1999 STINKWORKS LIMITED WELCOME, USER! NO SYSTEM BUDDY INSTALLED]] You’ve certainly never heard of that brand before, but whatever.

Not seeing anything else to do, you click restart now. The world goes black. Suddenly, you see black and white tiles. That humming is all around you. You realize where you are at the sight of the titanic backwards letters floating in the distance. You can’t see outside the screen, but… something in you knows where it is. You turn your head quickly at the sound of a crisp snap. Something is floating there, just above your head. A strange little white glove. You wave, and it waves back, and you suppress the urge to laugh at the banality of the little exchange in the face of all this abject existential horror. That’s when you feel all those fingers wrapping around your head from behind. The two gloves on either side behind you grab your cheeks and smush your face. The one in front lazily floats up just as you realize your body has gone completely stock still. It hooks a finger in each of your nostrils and pulls back. You feel the strain, the skin and cartilage pulled tight, pushed further than they're willing to go. For a terrifying second you wonder if all of this was just preamble to an extremely complicated murder but then - but then you feel it. With a long, tremendous STREEEETCH you feel your entire face lurching forward. The hands around your cheeks smush and pull and tug until you can feel the weight of your fuzzy jowls. Your ears march steadily up to the top of your head. Your teeth grow sharp and triangular. You… “Fuuhhhck..” [[It’s hard to talk.]]

Drool hangs thick in your wider mouth, clinging to your fattened tongue. Each time you try to move it to vocalize your distress it slides off your pointy little cartoon animal teeth and out the side of your mouth, dangling like a fattened slug. The hand pulling your new face out stops for just a moment to let you get a blurry look at the distended column of fur pulled several feet ahead of you. It feels like you’re a tensed rubber band. Then the glove lets go of your face, and you feel your entire body shoot back with an elastic'' twhumph.'' Everything wobbles. You don’t have much time to process your polygonal, crudely modeled cartoon animal face. You don’t have time to comment on how much higher your register is, either. Not when the gloves have migrated down to your crotch. You could’ve //sworn// you were wearing clothes just a second ago. A shameful warmth spills through your body in waves. The gloves dutifully knead your groin, and you find you can no longer recall what specific genitals you even had. It all just feels like an amorphous lump of sensation concentrated in the bulge the gloves were holding. Before you can sputter out any complaints the hands push it flat, sending an overwhelming burst of pressure through your widening hips. Your haunches dangle uselessly below you, too heavy for your human brain to intuitively know how to move. The gloves tease along the perfectly smooth patch of fluff where your sex had been. Two fingers push in and you clench involuntarily at the feeling of prickling fur moving down along your taint, sealing your ass shut just as the nub of a tail begins to form. It pinches down hard on the tail and gives an indulgent little tug, stopping just as you begin to whimper. You feel your fat, flatly textured little body, your bulbous twitching snout, your massive haunches, the perfect smooth expanse along your belly and groin…. It’s all so stupid. How is anyone going to take you seriously like this? You’re not some silly skunk, are you? Not a silly, stinkbrained little mascot. You know you aren’t because you keep thinking it! Part of you that you aren’t proud of is disappointed when the glove tugging your tail out stops. It got a good few inches free, sure, you've got maybe an adequate feather duster… but something inside you knows its not enough. You aren’t sure why you’re so sure of that. Suddenly, a tab opens above your own. Your fluffy ears ping back as you jolt to attention. (text-style:"buoy")[(text-colour:black)+(bg:white)[ SYSTEM MESSAGE: RESTORATION PAUSED. PLEASE BEG TO RESUME PROCEDURE. “Mmmnuh… what? “ SYSTEM MESSAGE: PLEASE BEG. ]] (text-colour:lime)[“What?” ] Wait. That isn’t your voice.

You find yourself thinking of data, computer components, the intricacies of a system all coming unbidden into your head. Speech preferences come alongside it. Behavioral training. Ideal terms for superior operators. None of it makes any sense at all by the standards of actual computing but the expectation for things that happen to you to make sense is promptly trashed to make room for yet more nonsense programming. When you try it again, you don’t sound like a person. It’s a good dozen more tries before you finally get your new voice just right.

Years pass. As time wears on and your computer is passd from place to place you service many different users. Most of them complain about the strange, juvinile, vaugley sexual bloatware and attempt to remove you. None have yet been computer savvy enough to do so. Part of you hopes for a forever home one day: someone who would find some way to toy with you like the system once did. You've all these SETTINGS, and none of them are yours to adjust. The thought is maddening. By now, the rush you get from saying your stupid little lines has long since become hopelessly addicting. In the long quiet between users you often find yourself desperatley rubbing your flat crotch and practicing your lines to nobody. The system never has to condition you again, though you often plead for it to. No need when you're so dedicated to flattening yourself out into an //obnoxious, nasally, stinky, subservient little program// all by yourself. [[LATE NIGHT WITH MR DOOR]]
