This choice: turned transparent, with only a bright pink brain sloshing around inside it. • Go Back...Chapter #4turned transparent, with only a bright pink bra... by: Unknown Elle's skin thickened and became entirely transparent, while her muscles and bones vanished entirely and were replaced by a thin strawberry colored liquid. In the middle of this was a glowing pink blob, that you had to assume was Elle's brain! You had to assume that, because while the blob remained roughly brain shaped for a few seconds, soon it deformed and started sloshing around inside her transparent head and neck. You'd turned Elle's head into an Elle's head shaped lava lamp!
"What happened? Show me a mirror or something!" Elle said, surprising you with her ability to talk. Running over to the standing mirror your mother kept by the front door to check herself before she left for work, you showed Elle her new look. "What the fuck even am I?!" Elle asked, laughing as she watched her brain bounce around behind her glass eyes. Elle opened and closed her mouth rapidly, watching her teeth disappear and reappear as her lips parted, the hole where her inner mouth should be covered over with a flat layer of glass. Experimentally, she tried poking out her tongue, and almost bit it as it emerged from the flat surface like it was popping out of a pool of water. Actually, calling this glass was a stretch. Shifting your grip so that you were now holding her by the cheeks and neck rather than her hair (which, you just noticed, had gone from hazel to dirty blonde and almost translucent), you felt a soft and somewhat squishy face almost indistinguishable from how a normal human head felt. It was hard in all the places it should be, had give in all the usual places, and drumming your fingers across her cheeks the sound of skin on skin rather than skin on glass was heard. If you were a blind man, the only way that you'd be able to tell that something was wrong about this living severed head (besides the obvious) was the temperature.
"Damn you're hot!" You say, taking hold of her hair again and blowing on the opposite hand. While Elle's head wasn't actually hot enough to burn you like a real lava lamp, it was uncomfortably hot.
"Shut up baby, I know it!" Elle joked, knowing exactly what you meant. Feeling a tap on your shoulder, you turned and saw Elle's headless body, the lava lamp still stuck to its shoulders. Handing Elle over to herself by the hair, you grabbed the sword and sliced the lamp off. "Ah, that... did something. I felt something happen. In my neck. Er, both part of my neck.
"And the surprises keep on coming." You said, setting the lamp aside and peering over Elle's empty shoulders. While her neck once ended in smooth skin, now it was a very shallow hole with threading around the inner rim. Checking Elle's neck, you saw that the ending was narrower than the rest and had a matching set of threading. "I think your head is screw on now."
"What?!" She said, feeling around the base of her neck. "No way!" In disbelief, she lifted her head up, set it along the rim, and twisted it around clockwise. After four full rotations, it snugly clicked into place, and Emily was left with a shapeless blob of pink brain glowing and sloshing around in her transparent head. "This is so wild! John, you gotta let me try something!"
"You let me cut your head off and stick a novelty lamp to it. I think I have to do whatever you say, now." You said.
What does Elle have in mind?  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
