1 The birth of the cowardly worm. (1/2)

Well, this is a new one. I mean, I've seen some shit, but seeing nothing is new. Nothing, you ask? Surely there is something, a presence of color or a sense of self. Nope, just good ol' nothing. Sure takes the cake for weird happenings in my opinion. And I mean weird.

[Calibrating]

Ok, what now?

Ummm, hello? Weird voice I just found in my head? Got anything to tell me, like how you got in there? It's not like I can feel my head, I'm just assuming one's there because I can actually think. Or I'm just amazing. Either one works for me.

You know, it's not like I know how I wound up here. One minute I'm jumping around, having fun and everything, next thing I'm here.

Suddenly my brain freezes and I hear the weird voice again.

[Calibration finished. Selecting Species...]

[Species selected… EarthWorm.]

[Combining]

[Combining complete, have fun!]

HEY!

I'm back. Wow, that was not an experience I want to go through again. Like, I just kinda froze, you know? Not very fun.

AHOI! What's this? A body? I think it's a body? The good ol' disembodied voice sure did mention a species.

Hold on.

I can't see anything. Check. I can't seem to move any external limbs. Check.

CLACK

Ouch, that hurt! I tried to clack my mouth, but I seem to have some… mandibles? Interesting. I suppose that's a check. Moving on, I don't seem to have a skeleton. Check.

Okay.

Deep breaths, deep breaths. It's ok man, it's all fine. Don't freak out, you're just a worm. By what the voice said, you're an earthworm. Okay, it's all good. I'm okay with this. Now tell me Mr. Voice, what the hell is going on here?!

What, nothing?
