Alice was silent for days, this visibly had  the three people puzzled who visited her each day. Each day Alice grew silent, they drew closer to the dome. They were probably wondering why there was no activity for the past few days. Alice inwardly felt happy since this meant she was finally going to be noticed. She could probably talk to one of them once they were near enough.

On probably the fifth attempt that she was silent the three people finally went inside the dome. They brought in a huge, shiny metal machine which Alice could only imagine what it was for. Upon having the machine next to her, it's shiny surface caught a reflection of the most horrible sight--lying down was a faceless shiny, black creature with a stump for what looked like a head. To her absolute horror Alice came realized that the creature she was staring at was actually her. Alice was staring at herself on the metal machine's shiny surface. Alice was a monster. Her nightmare that happened what felt like eons ago played in her head…

I cannot control myself. Something is taking over me. I am so hungry. I have to feed. Why did I say feed? What a funny term! I feel out of place in this body. But this is my body. That is strange.

There's Lisa, she can help me out. She might be able to fill my hunger. Oh but she's my friend. But she might taste delicious. But I can't eat people…

I'm falling...I am burning but I survived. I need to feed. I NEED MORE.

It is getting cold. The heat is nice. Fire is good. So much fire, heat is good. I must feed.

Stop! You can't do this! It isn't right! You are not supposed to be here! Get out of my head!

Oh my goodness, people! Help I'm trapped here in this thing! PLEASE DON'T SHOOT! STOP SHOOTING! YOU'RE KILLING ME!

It's so cold…

Alice remembered, she or at least her consciousness has been trapped in this body. The cold is what keeps the other thing's consciousness dormant. But she now knew what the shiny metal machine was for. The three people were going to try to wake the thing up. Alice screamed until she was sore hoping it would get the three people to notice but they were more interested in waking the thing up. And they succeeded…

A rumbling low roar filled the depths of Alice's being. It consumed her with heat and the thing awoke. In its full form the alien being lashed out its long thin arms slashing its wrist and leg restraints, instantly killing the the three people. The clear dome shattered  as the thing sliced through it. Alarms went off everywhere, quick running footsteps of what seemed like more than hundreds of men were heard in the distance. The thing decided to make its escape and took Alice's physical body, absorbing it within its skin to protect it. Alice's consciousness within the alien being's mind had no control anymore. She was just a spectator in a very horrible movie and she was in the front seat. The thing shuffled off into the dark recesses of the night killing anything living in its wake, aiming to feed until it's satisfied.
