Chrysalis

Chapter 40

Do monsters dream when they evolve?

I can’t even close my eyes, let alone properly sleep. When I evolved I had no concept of time or sensation. I can remember confirming my choices and then... nothing. All of my thoughts vanished. Almost as my brain had been completely switched off.

And then back on again.

Whoa! What the heck??

I feel... Different.

Um... this is weird. I feel like my core is gradually cooling, as if it had been on fire just moments ago. What is that about?

It’s really strange. It isn’t like as a human you could go to sleep and then wake up in a different body. Like, I can already tell I’m significantly larger than I was before...
