After Being Parasitized by a Monster

Parasite and host—perhaps the most profound intimacy in this world. You are in me, and I am in you. Neither life nor death can tear us apart.

“Your gender?”

“You are female, so I am female.”

“Your name?”

“Your name is my name.”

We share body heat, bear the pain together, and our souls merge.

Even if I sink into the deep sea, and the world falls deathly silent, I can still hear your voice.
