《The Human Monster》


 One

    Em had eaten only potatoes, run for an hour a day, and stayed awake as much as possible for a month. By the end of the month, she had become a monster. At least she had predicted this.


    She stood in front of the bathroom mirror, amazed by her reflection. She began to study her body with pleasure.


    Her irises were cyan, a light blue, in both eyes, and the whites of her eyes were pure black. Her hair was long, straight, and black, and her complexion was navy blue. Her height was as usual.


    She wondered about the interior of the mouth. To see the inside, she opened her mouth wide, poked her tongue as far as possible, moved it around to see underneath, and examined her entire palate. The inside was completely black. Every part was black, including her teeth. She then closed her mouth and smiled.


    After this examination, she concluded that the human she had been for her entire life was gone forever.


    She went to her bedroom and stopped in front of the door. She placed her hands on the surface of the door. She wished to be behind it. Suddenly, she found herself in the room, as if she had disappeared and reappeared there.


    ¡°Was it magic?¡± she said. ¡°No. This is an ability this body provides.¡±


    She spoke instead of thinking because she wanted to hear her voice¡ªher monstrous voice! The voice was interesting, as well as monstrous and sharp. It was sharp to Em¡¯s ears. In a good way. She liked it.


    In fact, she liked the new voice more than her previous human voice. She felt she would come to like this new body even more. The only thing she would have to do was get used to it. For that, time was required, she thought.


    That night, she experimented with her new body. It turned out that she could walk on walls, as well as in the air. She could climb or step upward in the air. She found it strange, though. Additionally, she could walk through walls. To discover this, she walked through the door of the room. It was fun.


    ¡°I suppose there are more powers within my body,¡± she she said. ¡°More to discover.¡±


    But she decided to test them later. Within hours, she had satisfied her curiosity enough.


    This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    ¡°What to do now?¡± She said, sitting on her bed.


    There was a pillow next to her. She looked at it, took it on her knees and hugged it. The softness of the pillow reminded her of something. Her mind suggested another aspect of her body. It was a little naughty aspect: her genital. She shied away at first but soon liked the idea. She played with her sex organ. She was male, as she had been before.


    Later, she jumped out of the window and moved out. Falling from the eighth floor of a building would have been dangerous, she thought. Instead, she climbed downwards to the ground in the air.


    As soon as her feet landed on the ground, she ran away. She didn¡¯t look back even once. She had literally abandoned her previous life.


    For days, she just walked, hiding in the side streets. She managed to escape the curious eyes of humans by staying underground, chilling in the sewers at night. She strolled around aimlessly.


    One day, she raped a stray cat just because of an urge (All beings are in the shape of beautiful human females, regardless of their gender). She felt numb afterward.


    Two days later, Em bumped into someone at 3am while wandering. The person seemed to be sleeping on the pavement. Em squatted near her.


    "Is she unconscious?" Em asked.


    The person''s eyes were closed. Em shook her body with her hands, but she didn''t wake up. As she touched the person''s body, Em felt lustful. It was the same urge of sexuality she had felt with the cat that day.


    She wondered the reason of unusual sexual behaviors lately. She hadn¡¯t been so before this monster body. She concluded that it was due to the new body.


    Suddenly she felt hard in her pants. She stood still and turned away, not to trigger her body. She wouldn¡¯t rape a human, she thought.


    But the feeling was hard to resist! Her humanity-taught ethics couldn¡¯t resist it. Her new monster part of her mind baffled her. Inside, a battle was raging between it and her human side. However, the battle was short-lived. The monster had won. But instead of touching the person, Em masturbated. To satisfy her monstrous part, she did it on the person''s face.


    Em felt humiliated.


    Despite her shyness, her face didn''t reveal any emotion. Her face looked numb. She noticed this. On the inside guilt was boiling, however, on the outside her body wasn¡¯t showing any sign of it.


    Feeling ashamed she ran away. She jumped into the nearest manhole and disappeared.


    The next night, Em went back there again. She couldn''t see the person; the person had disappeared. For some reason, she felt suspicious. A bad feeling haunted her on the inside.


    Suddenly, the knowledge of what had happened came to her mind. She referred this to her new body. She observed images, thoughts, and insights. She learned the truth.


    Inside the images in Em¡¯s mind, the person had kept sleeping on the cold pavement. After Em had left, a group of people showed up. They were four, dangerous, and full of mischief. They carried guns and swore a lot.


    Em learned the fate of the person from the insights. The gang had played with her in a way that was hard to tell. The word ¡®pornographic¡¯ was enough as a description. The person hadn''t woken up during the intercourse.


    Em wanted to know why the person lacked awareness, but the monster body didn''t reveal it, as it had done for the person''s fate. When the answer didn''t come, she looked into the images in her mind. Inside the images, one of the gang members cut the person''s throat with a machete, and the person died. Her body became a bunch of dust (body disappears, leaving a bunch of dust behind, when critical damage is taken in this story).


    The gang members quarreled with one another over the consequences of their murder. They discussed the hiding spot for the dust and clothes of the dead person. They didn''t want the murder to be known by the police. After talking about it, they agreed to dig a hole and...


    "Buried it," Em whispered.

 Two

    The monster body revealed the location of the burial. Em looked across the grassy field and saw the spot. It was at a walking distance. Em walked there, squatted, and then started to dig. She lifted enough soil out of the hole within minutes.


    She saw it.


    Inside the hole were a bunch of dust and the clothes - the same clothes the person had been wearing that day when...


    "I raped her," Em whispered.


    She hadn''t raped the person; she had just ejaculated on her cute face. She knew this, but felt as if she had killed the person. She was irrational against herself, although the truth was the opposite. The gang member had done it. Still, she accused herself.


    She stared into the hole, standing still and motionless. She battled with her human mind in her head, listening to the ethical arguments against her. It was like a swirl of guilt. She just listened.


    Then she concluded, "I have become a monster outside, but I am still a human on the inside."


    She felt lost, not physically but emotionally. She was lost physically since the moment she had become what she was. She had been strolling for days, and in fact, didn''t know her current location on the planet.


    Also, she just realized something more - she hadn''t eaten. She hadn''t felt any requirement for hunger to survive. An attribution to the new body. She had been strolling for days but couldn''t feel it. Hunger hadn''t bothered her as she had felt when she was human.


    An urge of curiosity arose. She felt hungry, not as a need or requirement for survival, but as hunger for pleasure. She wondered about the consequences of eating dust - dust of a human.


    "I am damned already!" she said.


    She squatted down, and her hands moved into the hole, into the dust. She gathered some in her palm, brought it to her mouth, and put it in. She chewed it slowly. The taste of the dust was interestingly satisfying to her monstrous tongue. Her saliva increased and filled up her mouth. After chewing it enough, she swallowed it. It was...


    "Delicious," she said. "I want more!"


    Stolen story; please report.


    That night, Em ate all of the dust in the hole. While eating, she experienced a burst of guilt. Still, the emotion wasn''t noticeable from the outside. Her navy blue monster body didn''t even blink; it didn''t even show any sign of emotion. No clue of guilt. No clue of joy either. However, Em felt something more, accompanying the guilt. It was craving.


    "I want to eat dust!" Em shouted. "But I can''t resist any emotional conflict."


    She would have cried with tears running down her cheeks if she could.


    After she calmed down, she contemplated this paradox. She wanted to eat dust of a human, but didn''t want to cause any injustice at the same time.


    The solution to the paradox might have come after a little thinking.


    "I will take revenge for the person," Em said to herself. "I will kill her murderers."


    That was a sincere lie, a lie she would have to hide behind to get what she wanted. She would kill them for the craving for dust. She had to be prejudiced to soothe her ethical issues. Because of this, she promised herself that she would only devour bad people.


    Who were the bad people? She didn''t care about the details. She just pushed the question aside in her mind. Bad people were those who killed innocent people, she thought. That was a good cover.


    Now she had to find the murderers.


    Where would she find them? They might have gone anywhere.


    A clue showed itself as she pondered. The clothes in the hole interested her.


    If her monster body could show the past as if she had lived it firsthand, would it show a hint about the murderers if she licked the spots where their fingers had touched?


    She found this suggestion strange, but there was nothing except this idea.


    Em took the clothes out of the hole. She specifically picked up the shirt because everyone touched it, according to her monstrous insights.


    She stood still, holding the shirt in both hands. She sniffed the shirt, then licked it. She started to chew its fabric like food.


    In a snap of a second, the location of the four murderers emerged from nowhere in her mind. She knew the exact path to take.


    That sudden answer amazed her. She thanked her body for this.


    "I wonder what this body still hides," she said, then set off.


    Her senses navigated her. The first destination was a city. She strolled across the city, trusting her senses and their navigation, even though she felt like a complete stranger to the places she went. However, the senses navigated her very well. She found the location of the murderers as if she had hidden them herself.


    The navigation brought her to a temple, a religious temple, very tall and luxurious, built at the center of the city.


    Em hadn''t reached the temple yet. Now she was standing behind a tree on a hill, trying to hide herself from the public while following the navigation.


    The distance between the temple and the hill was far, but despite this, from behind the tree she was hiding, Em could see the huge gate of the temple easily.


    The night was colder than the previous days, and it was expected to rain. Em had heard it from a TV in the city.


    Em''s body signaled that the people she was looking for were inside the temple.


    Thinking of them, her mouth began to water. Also, a little doubt was arising. She directly reminded herself of the justice she would serve.


    When the feeling of shame filled up her thoughts, she hit herself on the head, many times, only to increase her awareness.


    With the increase of awareness, she began to fear because she would kill people. She hadn''t even killed a mosquito in her entire life, due to her personal philosophy that every creature deserved to live. Now she had to kill real humans.


    "Bad humans," she shouted.

 Three

    Determined to take revenge and to take their dust, Em jumped off the summit of the hill and walked downwards.


    The hill wasn''t tall, so it wasn''t slippery to walk on. It just took time to get to the fences of the temple.


    Em had to cross a wide, running river. While crossing it, she found out another skill of her body: she could walk on water as well as she could walk in the air. In fact, she hadn''t understood the difference while crossing the river.


    As she got to the opposite side of the river, she asked herself, "Did I walk on water or walk over the river in the air?"


    In either case, she managed to cross the river.


    After walking for a while across a farming field, she arrived at the fences of the temple.


    The fences were twice as tall as her and looked solid and spiky.


    Em just walked through the fences like a ghost and got behind them. It was easy.


    "Now all I have to do is walk through the gate and eat their dust," she said.


    She could have thought this to herself instead, but for some reason, she wanted to speak those words to increase the excitement.


    There was a wide field between the fences and the temple. Em looked across it and saw many statues, those made of concrete with words carved on them. She recognized the religious scripts.


    She kept looking around and saw some people in robes. They were praying at night, she thought, because they were sitting on their knees, with their palms pressed together, and their eyes were closed, while they whispered words out.


    Unlike their clean robes, Em wore pajamas that were torn apart a bit. Many small holes and openings were sprinkled across the bottom wear. The upper pajama was loose and dark yellow, and the bottom pajama was loose and dark brown. She had been in the same pajamas since she had left her human life behind.


    "The color of my skin doesn''t match with my clothing," she whispered, "and I would like to remain anonymous as long as possible."

    She looked around for another set of clothing. The darkness of the night was hiding her well enough, but she would walk toward the temple. She had to cover her blue skin because there were light sources across the field. They were dim, but light enough to uncover her unique look.


    She couldn''t spot any clothing despite her long glance.


    She saw a cabinet in the corner of the fences. She thought she might find something inside. To check, she walked there, along the fences, staying as close to them as possible, lurking in the shadows.


    The cabinet was distant, but she managed to arrive unseen. It was small and wooden. Inside, a light source was radiating out through the only window.


    Em crouched below the window, lying her back against the wood. Before she peeked inside, she listened. There was a regular scratchy noise, which reminded Em of a radio. Em then stood up a little and peeked inside the cabinet, keeping her head unseen.


    There was nobody inside.


    Seeing this, Em touched the cabinet wood and got inside. She looked around, checked everywhere quickly, and found a black raincoat. She directly stripped off her damaged clothes, except for her underwear, and then wore the raincoat. The raincoat had a hoodie, which she used to cover her head. She went out her way.


    She started to run toward the center of the field.


    As she was nearing the statues, she noticed that the people in robes had already gone away.


    She walked carefully on the stony pavement toward the gate, and as she made sure there was no one, she looked across at the gate of the temple.


    "That''s my chance!" She ran to the gate.


    Interestingly, she reached the gate too fast. She had run across the pavement so fast that she thought she had used teleportation. And, fortunately, the raincoat was made of a fabric that didn''t make noise during movement. Literally, this lightning speed of her run got Em''s attention.


    She might have found another ability that the monster body possessed: the ability to run faster than light.


    She could have praised her body, but she didn''t want to lose time.


    The gate of the temple seemed bigger, and the temple was even bigger when Em looked up. She tried to push the gate open, but it didn''t move. She tried to get behind it using her monster powers, and it worked.


    She suddenly found herself elsewhere.


    Indeed, she had entered the temple. But she wasn''t behind the gate, as she had predicted. Instead, she was on the ceiling, hanging loosely from her feet, which seemed to be glued to the ceiling.


    She was upside-down, looking downwards at the floor. The floor was far below, and the intense height caused dizziness in Em''s head. She feared falling down.


    With the influence of the fear, Em got to her knees and put her palms on the ceiling.


    She spent some time like that, adjusting her thoughts to the situation. Later, she remembered that she had become a monster. Her blue hands reminded her of this fact.


    "Where are they?" Em looked downwards over her shoulder. "Why are murderers visiting a religious temple?"


    She didn''t care about the reason. She would kill them. Still, she didn''t know how.


    Her monstrous mind showed the location of the murderers one by one. The mind answered as she wished for it. Interestingly.


    The four murderers were in random spots in the territory of the temple. The first one was in the basement. The second one was at the garden at the back of the temple. The third one was on the roof floor. The fourth one was here, right below Em, far below her.


    Em, from the ceiling, looked down at the fourth one. She was sitting on her knees, reading a book. At least, that was what Em could see.


    "I better go down," Em said.
