Essence

Marcus was quite proud of his latest invention. With a simple flip of a switch, he transformed his entire essence into pure energy, which was subsequently absorbed into the body of his neighbor, Charlotte. This meant for all intents and purposes, he basically took over Charlotte’s body. What Marcus didn’t realize was that Charlotte was a single mom and her young son got caught up in the energy transfer as well. As a result, Marcus would be prone to some pretty strange behaviors from time to time. He would suck his thumb in public or have tendencies to throw tantrums in order to try to get his way. While most adults were quite shocked to see an adult woman behave in these ways, Marcus had a hard time even realizing anything was off. It would prove to complicate matters when he finally decided to extract his essence from Charlotte’s body.
