Parasite (Accepting!!! Will start after getting 2 more!!)

((I just finished reading The Host by Stephanie Meyer, who also wrote Twilight; it was very good, and so I was inspired...hehe))

Am I really a living being? This is something I often ask myself. I have a mind; I have a soul; but I cannot live for more than a few minutes as a single entity. Because of that fact, some would argue that I am not.

My true form cannot exist outside of a body. I am not solid, nor am I liquid. I am a fluid orb, closest to a gas, one might say. Almost a cloud, with electricity surging throughout, sending signals much like the nervous system of a human.

We can enter and leave a body through one's breath, which seems fitting. Without breath, there would be no life. From there, we attach to the nervous system of our host, in whatever form theirs is, assuming control of its body.

My people have visited and left many worlds, but this one...the one the natives call "Earth" has proven to be the most interesting. Here, they are resistant...here, they fight back.

Plot

November 20, 2017

People on Earth are changing. It is not a strong evolution, but rather changes in little nuances of individuals. Neighbors will disappear for a few days-- family emergency, business traveling, last-minute vacation getaways. They will return, but will not be exactly the same. And in the right light...their eyes are different. An iridescence lies about them, almost reflecting a rainbow of colors in the right light.

Some chalk it up to government experiments, others, simply paranoia. But the bottom line is...things are different.

May 14, 2019
Earth is lost. A race of alien beings has taken over, and humans do not even see it coming. By the time the humans realized what was happening, over 80% of the human population played host to what people began calling parasites, because they had no better term for it. Clans of humans have gone into hiding around the world, trying to avoid capture and fighting against the insertion of the parasites. Once you breathe that poisonous gas...your soul no longer exists-- it moves to a dormant part of the brain, almost guaranteed to never see, think, or feel again.

October 03, 2020

The revolution begins. One human clan begins to organize. For the past year and a half, they have tried to avoid killing the "visitors" because they held onto hope that the human hosts might be saved. However, their research has proven them wrong. The humans are fighting back...beginning today.
