Another chapter in the post-mutation life of Maria.

<<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>>
A month had passed since the incident at the pool and Maria had adjusted to her life with tentacles. Thankfully she had been able to convince her boss at the call center to let her work from home to help maintain her "work/life balance".
She spent her afternoons and evenings engrossed in research, trying to figure out what the hell had happened fo her. It took a little while, but as she became more adept with her tentacles she actually found them to be quite helpful. Something must have changed with her brain as well, extra synapses or something, because she found herself able to multitask like never before too!
She sipped her warm chamomile as she poured over a book that had arrived in the mail that morning. She continued her online search with several tentacles while taking notes with another and using several more to corroborate her findings in other historical references.
Apparently this city had been little more than a blip on the map before a billionaire moved in and built the now defunct nuclear power plant all those years ago. There had been complaints from some of the locals near the plant about strange numbness and tinglings in their limbs, but their lawsuits always ended abruptly in sealed private settlements. What had been going on here?
The only lawsuit that didn't end in a settlement was eventually dropped as the plaintiff inexplicably stopped showing up for the proceedings. The billionaire got off, but Maria knew something was fishy. What had happened to that woman?
Maria knew if she was able to track down that woman's story, it coild hold the key to her mutation. But she had to figure it out soon.
Her girlfriend was gone for the summer, off to visit family in the far east and attend her cousin's wedding, but she'd be back by the start of the fall semester. That meant she only had a couple more weeks until...
Maria suddenly froze as she heard the familiar creak of their studio apartment door.
"SURPRISE! I'm home early! How was yourrrrrrrr...."
