Samantha eyed the beaker on her desk, it was the culmination of months of research. The university was threatening to cut off her funding if she couldn’t produce results but without more funding for tests she was stuck.
She is left with only one option to test her formula on herself, it’s the only ethical choice she has left. She trusts in her own genius that she got the formula right and this will do what she intended without side effects.
The potion was meant to increase a person’s intelligence, unlock their hidden potential. She downs the potion and then begins to make observations of herself. What follows are video records she makes of herself at regular intervals and what occurs over those weeks.
One week after experiment
As the days pass she is disappointed, she can see no change in her intelligence or ability to retain knowledge, she has however experienced some odd side effects. She has noted her breasts seem larger and her hips wider, and despite going to bed early she awakes feeling exhausted.
Two weeks
The increase in her figure is no longer at the seem level, she no longer fits in her bras or most of her pants. She has also noticed money seems to go missing at night and odd pieces of clothing added to her wardrobe.
Three weeks
It is clear someone else is accessing her home, in a bid to discover who she has set up cameras to capture the thief who is stealing money from her, leaving behind skimpy clothing and seems to be moving things around in the house. She has noticed over the past weeks she has been growing tired and going to bed earlier at night but still feels no better rested, and her breasts and hips still seem to be expanding.
Four Weeks
What Samantha has discovered via the cameras has left her very disturbed, it seems she in a sense is the unknown perpetrator she has been seeking. Once she fell asleep she witnessed a transformation of her form occur, she gained significant further curves and her hair turned blonde. She saw herself stretch and then turn to address the camera, Sky as she liked to be called informed Samantha, that her potion had unleashed her from her subconscious, the party girl inside wanting out. The longer sleep and her altering body is Sky slowly taking over, and it seems unlike Samantha, that Sky is aware of everything that Samantha does when she is in control. Samantha realizes she has to reverse this before Sky takes over completely and her window of opportunity is already shrinking as each day she falls asleep sooner due to exhaustion and finds her body more changed when she awakes. Sky with her dialogue that includes constant used of ‘like’ explains she goes out clubbing each night and now that Samantha is aware of her presence she no longer feels the need to hold back to avoid discovery. Samantha worries what Sky will do with her body while she attempts to reverse this.
Five Weeks
Attempts to stay awake and prevent Sky from taking over have proven ineffective, I simply black out if I attempt to resist. Sky is aware of my efforts but thus far other than her taking control for longer periods of time each day has thus far taken no action against my efforts. I am finding doing some of the delicate work more difficult due to my enlarged breasts and the nail work Sky has had done during one of her periods of control. She continues to leave me video messages her attempt to ease me into ceasing to exist, for that is what I believe the end result will be, at some point I will become Sky and simply never awake as myself again.
Six Weeks
My active time is down to mere hours a day now, the house outside of my lab has been transformed by Sky into a place I no longer recognize. What was shocking in the past week was when I return to control to find myself in bed with a strange man, someone Sky is apparently dating. He seems to think we’re some sort of split personality, I haven’t had the time or inclination to correct him as my active time is to precious to waste on him. Worse yet she has been speaking to my mother who has shown approval of Sky over myself, while it is true my relationship with my mother has been strained for a number of years, she wanted me to pursue a family rather then science I cannot believe she would betray me like this.
Seven Weeks
My attempts to reverse this have failed, whether my science was off in my haste or Sky or even my mother who has been coming over daily to ‘say good-bye’ has been sabotaging my efforts I cannot say. I can feel myself slipping away for what I believe is the last time, I admit my fear of this, this death of self if not body, but I do not blame Sky, this was the result of my own hubris, in these my final moments I can only wish Sky well and the world good-bye.
Epilogue
Sky here, like I guess Sam is gone, I like haven’t had any instances where she has emerged again since like more than a year ago. As much as she made a drama about it its not like she’s really dead, I like remember all of her like learning and stuff, I just like don’t feel the need to use it. I just want a nice simple life with a good man to go balls deep in me every night and to take care of me while I bear his children. Mom was really understanding about that, like she was the one to introduce me to Tyler. He was like really understanding about the whole split personality thing but he is glad that Sam is gone. Anyway I just thought I would like record this last update on Sam’s last experiment when I found this stuff when clearing out her old lab. We like need the space for the nursery as you can see I’m like expecting our first baby, the first of many if I have my way, this just feels so great. If it’s a girl I guess I’ll call her Samantha, I guess I owe her like that much for giving me life with her little experiment.
