You stare up at your counter, staring blankly as thoughts, feelings, sounds bounce around between different people and places in time. The soul core you consumed is tens of thousands of years old, and with perfect recall of it's entire lifetime. You are no longer aware of your former self, as your mind is currently overwhelmed by the new presence in your head. Hungry, you finally get up and walk into your bedroom to get dressed. You feel a sense of disdain for the low class living conditions you find yourself in. The lack of cash in the wallet you find is also not encouraging.
"Credit Cards?," you think to yourself. You sign heavily and grab your wallet and keys, and drive to a local mercantile with prepackaged foods. Inside you take a shopping cart and wander up and down the aisles filling your cart with mostly fresh fruits, vegetables, and breads. At the checkout line, the cashier gives you a strange look as you begin to unload the items onto the conveyor belt. Checkout is very slow as all of the items, except the bread, are random weight items, and require the cashier to lookup and weigh each and every item in your cart. You swipe the credit card and push the cart out to your car. As you finish loading your car, you grab a head of lettuce, and start eating. You finish two more heads of lettuce before you get home. You eat non stop as you drive home and unload into the kitchen. The urge in your bowls becomes urgent once you have consumed over half the food. Taking a break, you remove your clothes and get on your hands and knees in your kitchen, and begin to push out a steady stream of clay from your rectum. After a few minutes, you stand up and resume consuming the remainder of the food. You take two more breaks before your body has emptied itself of the new clay. You grab a rolling pin and start to flatten out the clay into a large sheet, about 8 feet long and about 18 feet wide. It's so wide you cannot fit it in your small kitchen, so you make six 8ftx3ft sheets. You then build a hexagonal tube with the clay sheets, and crawl inside the completed tube. The tube collapses around you, but not from structural failure, but because the clay shrank inside until it became vacuum formed to your body. There was no darkness, in fact, you could see outside the shell the same as when you could see out of the clay ball on the counter.
"Master, you must rest now." the thought came across your mind.
"I want to see," you think to yourself.
"Master must rest. Your body is damaged and I must repair it. Master, sleep," and with that you fade into a dark state. It is as if you have been disconnected from your body, and are alone with yourself in your own mind.
You awake, angry. Your the master, or so was the line the clay was maintaining. You cannot move. You can see, hear, smell, but cannot move.
"Master, I am sorry, I repaired almost all of the damage to your body, but I could not save everything. There was chromosomal damage, probably a genetic defect. I will have to fix more of your body when you are stronger. I have merged my gene programming with yours," is the thought of a very distraught and remorseful part of your mind. "I will work on movement, I ask that you sleep longer until your body heals."
"What choice do I have?," you think.
"I promise you that this was not supposed to happen. Search my memories, you will find this to be true. You had deformities in your digestive system that I had to fix. I will wake you as soon as I can," is the other voice in your mind.
There is no passage of time, no dreaming, just a black void that seems to pass in a few seconds. The reality is that you have been physically dormant for over a week.
You open your eyes, and sit up. The last time you moved you crawled into a clay hexagon tube, that was now gone. You stand up, naked, and grab a drink from the refrigerator.
The sweet taste of the cola is strong, almost like a syrup.
As you savor the taste, the clay entity echos in your mind, "Master, please focus on the taste of that drink. Let me guide you as you concentrate. I will share with you the changes and problems with your body."
