I felt the pain wracking through my body as I laid silently on my apartment floor. The pain was too much for me to let out even the smallest of screams. It felt like death, if only I knew what death felt like. The pain started at the tips of my toes and slowly worked its way upwards through my body. From my feet to my calves and then through my hands, arms and chest. I could feel myself changing, becoming something different. I just didn’t know what.
The pain felt like it lasted an eternity, but in an instant it was gone. I was now lying on the ground, gasping for air as relief ran over my body like a blanket. I brought my hand up to my face, wiping away the sweat from my brow. Something was off. I opened my eyes and stared at the extraterrestrial hand that was hovering inches in front of my face.
I let out a short shout before dropping my hand to my side. This new, pale skinned hand followed what I wanted precisely. “W-what the hell…” I whispered. I could hear screams now coming from outside my apartment, even from other housing units in the same building.
I ripped myself off the floor and looked down at my body. My clothes had vanished, now leaving me naked in the middle of my small living space. My feet now only had three toes. They were large and clawed and had that same pale off white color as my new hands. I looked at my hands again. They too only had three appendages left on them, each with vivid purple claws.
I rushed into the bathroom, staring at myself in the mirror. My facial structure had changed. I now had high, defined cheekbones and a narrow jaw line. My hair was now a thick, vibrant purple instead of my normal bright blonde hair. I looked up and down my body. Where my penis used to be was nothing but an empty square, no reproductive parts to be seen. But that wasn’t my main concern. No, what really worried me was that now my entire body was different. I had long purple claws running from my three fingered hands and my three toed feet. I had shaggy purple hair that had replaced my lustrous blonde, and now I had an entirely pale off white body with radiantly glowing violet lines running across it like veins. My eyes were completely black with warm, lilac pupils.
By the time I had finished checking up on myself there were more screams of terror. It seems I was not the only one who had been afflicted in such away. Looking down from one of the windows in my apartment I could see these same naked monsters walking around the streets, confused. Other people, normal people, were running from them in terror. I could hear sirens rushing through the streets now.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Following a squad of police cars was a large greenish brown truck with armored men sitting inside. The military? How had they responded to something like this so quickly? The first alien creature the police came in contact with was taken into custody and thrown into the back of the large, canvas topped military truck. Were they taking us somewhere? Perhaps they were trying to help us, cure us of this disease even.
With hope rushing through my veins like adrenaline, I ran out of my second story apartment and down to the streets below. I rushed towards the police vehicles, a newfound speed about me, with my arms raised and waving in the air. I tried to speak, to call out to them but all that came out was a grunt. Had my vocal chords been changed as well?
Bah, it didn’t matter, I was getting help soon enough. The squad of police cars came to a swift stop, turning their cars’ sides towards me and stepping out. “Somebody grab him! Get him in the truck!” The man who seemed to lead this small taskforce shouted. Quickly two men came rushing at me with guns pointed. My eyes widened in fear, why would they shoot me? Did I do something wrong? I raised my hands above my head, trying to seem as peaceful as possible.
The two men grabbed my arms, handcuffed me and shoved me into the back of the canvas truck. Inside, a woman was waiting for me with a needle in hand. She stuck the needle into my neck, injecting its contents into me and threw me further into the truck. There were other people who had been afflicted, like me, in the truck but all of them were asleep, scattered across the floor of the truck.
I looked back at the woman who was staring back at the sleeping bodies with pity in her eyes. As she looked at me, my vision went black and I drifted off into a deep sleep. The last thing I felt was my body crashing to the floor.

I will try to make longer chapters in the future, I just wanted to test the waters with this idea.
