Sharon had asked her boyfriend about getting closer -- maybe by moving in together or something like that -- but John hesitated. Was he ready for that sort of thing? He didn’t even have time to come up with something to say rejecting the idea before the oddest thing happened -- Sharon and John started to merge into one being.
“What are you doing?” John shouted.
“I didn’t want to be close like this!” Sharon yelled back. “What’s happened to us!? I can feel everything.” Then she paused before adding, “You were going to say no?”
John didn’t have time to respond again. The merge had completed. They were feeling both sets of thoughts of Sharon and John and all the contradictions that entailed. Their merged body was an average of male and female, of the two beings now one. And the argument about being closer continued in their head, even as there was no possible way to be even closer.
