I want to smell dark matter
The Squidinator talked to the Squidgod in his head as he lay on Chloe's bed.
"My body hurts."
"Yes, I noticed."
"It's not even bad pain it's just...uncomfortable. I can't tell where it's coming from, really. Is it my legs? My groin? It's annoying."
"It is annoying, yes."
"How come it hurts now that I'm lying on this nice, comfortable, teenage girl's bed but it didn't for the hundred and fourteen years I was trapped underground?"
"Your body...OUR body was in a kind of stasis when we were trapped underground. The mind was active but the body was not, not until Chloe rescued us. Did you never noticed that you couldn't feel your body?"
"I guess I didn't think about it. I was living in my head. Talking to you."
"Waking me from my eternal slumber with your inanity."
"Well that's how you would put it."
"I was trapped for millions of years, you know."
"I know...I know. I bet you hate being stuck in my crappy human body now."
"Yes, I do. Your legs feel strange."
"I don't know why. I thought I'd be better lying in this bed, but I'm not."
"I wish I could leave you. I wish my old body hadn't shrivelled away..."
"Is that what happened to it?"
"Yes. Even suspended as it was it still could not last for the millions of years I was trapped underground. It turned to dust in the end and only I remained, a single thought in the dark, waiting for the right person to be my new host."
"And I was that person."
"Maybe I should have waited another million years for someone else."
"Does my right testicle hurt or is it just the right inner thigh?"
"I don't know, it's hard to tell."
"Yeah. It's not even pain, it's just, like numbness?"
"Or something."
"Or something."
"Are you going to have sex with the girl? I must admit, when I first used your body to ravage hordes of females I did find it enjoyable."
"It would be wrong."
"Would it? Your body is weak and dying. You might as well use it up while you can."
"What happens to you when my body dies?"
"I'll keep you alive as long as I need you, no matter how weak your body becomes."
"That...does not sound pleasant."
"Life is not pleasant for us."
"No. It's not."
"My body hurts."
"Yes, I noticed."
"It's not even bad pain it's just...uncomfortable. I can't tell where it's coming from, really. Is it my legs? My groin? It's annoying."
