"Dad, when did mom pick this up?" I walked up into the kitchen having just been in the basement, going through moms old storage.
Danny turned and squinted his eyes, "I think it was that time she was in Egypt I think. She always wanted to travel and see exotic places, meet strange and interesting people..." He had a far away look in his eyes.
I turned the white jar over in my hands, "What is it anyway?"
"I dont know. Why dont you look it up online?" He suggested.
Groaning, "But it takes ages to boot the computer..."
He shrugged, "You could always hit the library if it means that much to you."
Admonished I said, "It's ok. I can take a shower while it starts up."
I stepped into the den and flicked the ancient plastic switch on the front of the case. With a snap I heard the system begin to boot, text slowly rising up the screen.
With the jar in hand I went upstairs and got my things for a shower. I dont know why but I slipped the jar into the basket as I slipped into the bathroom and started the shower going.
As I sat down on the toilet to let the water come up to temperature I glanced at the jar.
The milky white jar with some stupid lion head for a lid.
I picked it up and inspected it. A gold band around the middle, outlining the tiny seam between the top and bottom halves.
I felt the steam on my skin and I stood up turning to put the jar back when it slipped from my fingers and shattered on the tiles of the bathroom floor.
"Oh shit!" I cried as I kneeled down to scoop up the sharp shards.
Tucked under a large shard was some dessicated thing. Looking almost like really pale beef jerky.
"What in the world is this? Jerked fish?" I picked it up in my hands and turned it this way and that. It had ribbed fins all over it's surface that stuck out.
Suddenly it moved in my hands, I cried out in surprise and it sprang right at me!
I felt it wiggle into my throat and for a brief moment I thought I was going to choke to death.
Then it did something and seemed to go down easily... as if it wanted to go further inside me!
I coughed and wheezed and slipped to my butt on the cold tile floor.
My head swam and throbbed oddly before my fingertips tingled.
And then I got up to my feet.
But I couldn't control my moments. I saw my hands rise into view and flex a bit.
I walked over to the mirror and wiped away the steamy film and my own face leered at my body.
"This will do for now." My mouth moved and spoke but it wasn't me speaking. It was something else!
"I abhor doing this to you but I have been locked away unjustly for a long time. I hope in time you can come to forgive me for what I'm going to do. As well as for what I'm doing now. But the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few."
As she spoke, for I got the distinct impression whoever was in control was female, My eyes glowed with golden light.
