you walked contentedly shaking your head to the music playing in your headphones. your hands were in the pockets of your jeans and you kicked invisible pebbles under your feet on the sidewalk. ‎ ‎random passersby flashed past you, but you did not raise your head. you did not have a habit of looking at people and in general did not have a huge desire to interact with anyone. you were fine with the music in your ears and the thoughts in your head. ‎ ‎a gentle breeze catches your attention. nothing special. you simply raise your head adjusting your thin and unruly hair, which was tousled by the wind. ‎ ‎you stop and blink stupidly, looking at the picture in the middle of the street in front of you. ‎ ‎some yellow and red substance jumps from one person to another. the creature's movements are desperate, angry, almost wild. the movements are fast and dexterous. having been on one person, the creature immediately jumps on another. choosing? looking for someone? ‎ ‎some people run away from there in horror, some watch it all from a short distance. the people who were visited by this creature scream in horror, scratch their skin, hair. ‎ ‎what a normal day in Brooklyn. ‎ ‎but of course you immediately understood what kind of creature it was. you accidentally came across an article on the Internet, which said that some laboratory called the Life Foundation was conducting an experiment. they took Venom's DNA and tried to create ideal obedient symbiote soldiers who could work for the foundation. but of course it would be stupid to think that people could control creatures from another planet, and maybe even the universe. in the end, there were five daughter symbiotes from Venom's DNA, which were given to people who were their hosts. but in the end, the symbiotes took control of their hosts, destroyed the entire lab and escaped to freedom. ‎ ‎and there you are. a few meters away from you, a cosmetic creature. a symbiote that is clearly looking for a host for itself. in the end, symbiotes have their own standards too and they will not take just anyone as a host. ‎ ‎maybe you should be afraid. this thing could eat you, like the two guys before. but you felt a strange flutter in your chest. you took a small step to the side, into some alley. why? you didn't know, but your intuition told you that this was necessary. ‎ ‎were you playing hide and seek? because if so, then Scream found you. After a couple of seconds of you being in the alley, the yellow and red symbiote appeared there too. It was moving erratically, like some kind of flame. The symbiote couldn't take a solid form, since it needed a host. For a couple of seconds, you just stood and looked at each other. Your eyes looked into the white eyes of the symbiote. ‎ ‎then Scream deftly merged into the asphalt from under your feet, becoming a moving puddle. It quickly moved to you, ending up under your feet. ‎ ‎then the yellow-red substance began to crawl up your legs, covering your pants. It just enveloped you completely. But literally a second later, you saw how the symbiote took a more even form. You looked down at your body. Everything was neat and perfect. You knew that you were wearing clothes, but the symbot made it so that the outline of the clothes was not visible. on the contrary, the essence of the symbot hugged you like a second skin. and the plus to your new image was the symbiote's hair, it was long and reached your hips. in fact, it was not hair in the understanding of human hair, it was a large number of dexterous tentacles, with which you could easily call something, lengthen them and fight with them. ‎ ‎"Host.." ‎ ‎a contented hissing Scream sounded in your head. well, it seems the symbiote is happy with being next to you.
