Lin was sinking, being overtaken by the latex. He didn’t know what was happening to his body, he could only hear faint thoughts. They felt like his thoughts, but twisted. Like someone took him apart and pieced back together in some weird way. He could feel himself acting in a way he would never, but he perceived it as a speck. A thought in the back of his brain. He didn’t know how long he had been there, but he knew it was long enough. He had to get out. He tried to escape from the latex holding his mind back, but his strength only fed it. He struggled and struggled, to no avail. He tossed in turned in the mess of his mind, only to fall deeper and deeper. Smothered by the rubbery substance crowding his consciousness. He placed all his remaining strength into one last pull, stretching against the latex. With one last tug, he felt a snap. Suddenly, he was in his body. He looked down at himself and saw the goopy fur that had claimed him. Filled with anger and defiance, he pulled at the substance bonded to him. He pulled and tugged, ignoring the screaming pain. As he pulled, he began to feel separation; as if it were a thin layer surrounding his body. And as if it were made of fabric, he ripped off a patch of fur from his arm. Lin continued this process, removing chunk after chunk from his body. With each piece removed, Lin could notice the flood of lost memories and intense pain. After a minute of consecutive latex removal, the remaining fur began to fall off. Lin was just able to see the red marks from where he removed the latex, before collapsing from the pain and exhaustion. The dream that Lin experienced was odd, to say the least. Granted, it could be fair to say that all dreams are weird to some degree. But what made this one strange was the fact that it was a memory. Lin was sitting in the darkness of a dumpster, waiting for his mother to find him. He made no noise, knowing that his mother told him to remain quiet. But time had passed, he didn’t know how long, and his mother didn’t return. He stayed there surrounded by garbage, absolutely silent, with a small sliver of light to see. Lin was alone and terribly frightened. Forgetting his mother’s words, the five year old forgot his promise and slowly and softly began crying. But his gentle weeping was soon interrupted, as he heard something stir adjacent to him. Lin held still, fearful of what was hidden in his hiding spot. He looked to a rippling substance in the darkness of the dumpster. He thought he saw a face for a second, but it disappeared as fast as it appeared. “Hello?” The child asked the darkness, half expecting it to reply. But instead, he came face to face with a small latex wolf. Lin couldn’t actually tell if that was what he saw in his dream, because that was also the first thing he saw when he awoke. He could have seen something, but seeing the latex wolf when he woke up might have left an impression. It then just hit Lin, that he was looking up at a monster, the same one that warned him about the other. He would have said something, but the monster fled after a sound of gunfire. Lin sat up and found his uncle, looking exasperated. “LIN!” But when the teenager went to stand, he realised that he was bare naked. “Lin! Are you okay? Did that monster harm you? Where are your clothes?” The question came one after another, but Lin was too shocked by what happened to respond. Knowing that he wouldn’t find any answers and that Lin was exposed, his uncle offered him a blanket and the two made their way back home. “Can you explain what happened?” After having Lin take a shower, put on clothes, and having his wounds treated, Uncle Phil decided to ask for detail surrounding Lin’s strange circumstances. Apparently, he had only noticed the absence of his young charge ten minutes after the alleyway misfire. “Did that monster harm you in any way?” “No. I mean…I don’t know.” “Okay. How did you lose your clothes?” At this, Lin definitely blushed. He still had trouble processing what happened, but decided to explain what he could to his guardian. “I think…I think I got transfurred.” The ex-Army Major gave a look of disbelief at this. “Do you mean it nearly transfurred you?” “No, I think it went all the way.” “And how are we talking now, if that was the case?” “I think I broke free.” “Broke free?” “No, I think I reversed it.” The two looked at each other with equal disbelief. “And are you sure that happened?” “No. But I saw the slime climb my body. I felt it invade my body and warp my cells. But at the last minute, it felt like I was trapped in my mind. Sinking into latex, unable to feel my limbs.” “And how did you break free.” “I don’t really know. I struggled and fought against it, but that only made it harder. Somehow, I managed to tear away at it and return to my body. Once there, I could feel the latex become separate from my skin. I ripped and teared at it, until I was free. Then, I passed out, woke up to a monster above me, and you know the rest.” The look on Uncle Phil’s face was torn between believing and not. Lin had apparently been convincing, but the idea was still too much for the adult. “Okay…I want you to take it easy for the next few days. Stay home, unless you’re going to school.” “K.” When his uncle left, Lin began to debate the events of the day. He was attacked and potentially raped by a latex blob, tranfurred into a white wolf-like creature, had an out-of-body experience in which he reversed a process that has taken the lives of anyone else in his situation. And all of this because he found a monster in an alley, and he didn’t shoot him. Him? Why did Lin think the monster was male? Did he really just assume it’s gender? Why was he focusing on this? Nevermind, this didn’t matter. He was lucky, that monster could have taken him after he collapsed. But if that were the case, it would have happened. So why didn’t that monster transfur him? That weird, familiar, cute monster. Cute? Lin’s thoughts didn’t feel like his own. But one thing was certain. He had to find that monster again. “Hey Uncle Phil, I’m going to school.” “Okay Lin. Be back by two.” “K, bye.” Lin made his way outside, and as soon as he was sure that his uncle couldn’t tell, he went in the opposite direction of school. He tried to retrace his steps yesterday, but it was getting hard to tell all the abandoned shops apart. But eventually, the ruins became familiar. Soon enough, he found the alley from before. He knew because he found the rifle he lost. He made sure that it was loaded and checked for any monsters. He didn’t find any slimes or anything. Thankfully this was independent monster territory. He would find a lurking monster or maybe a snow leopard, but he wouldn’t find any dark or light latex monsters here. Which only made the monster from before even more mysterious. He searched the alley, trying to find any trace of the monster. But to no one’s surprise, the random monster from yesterday was nowhere to be seen. Lin honestly didn’t know what he expected. That this supposedly talking monster would come back and talk with the human who could break free from a monster’s control and was carrying a gun. Lin was about to leave, when something caught his eye. It was a tiny slip of paper, with poorly written words scribbled on them. “FYND MEE AT FAKTURY” “Find me at factory.” Factory, did he mean the processed food factory south west of here. But wasn’t that at the outskirts of the dark latex nest? And wasn’t there at least a quarter of a mile filled with monsters between there and here? Lin only thought about what to do for a minute. He headed in the direction of the factory. Lin made his way through alleys and sidewalks, making sure that he wasn’t spotted by the increasing number of slimes. He even saw a couple monsters with developed bodies. He made sure to remember his uncle’s training. After roughly an hour of walking, the factory was within view. Lin was so relieved, they didn’t realise the can at his feet. At the moment he accidently kicked it, he turned to see a full-bodied white latex canine. Lin ran as fast as he could, desperately trying to avoid the monster. But a monster that could form a body was nearly twice as fast as a slime, and the monster was gaining. Lin had barely made it to the bridge, when the latex beast grabbed his shoulder. Lin was pulled into the body of the monster, and he soon began to sink once again. He could feel the sensation of being broken down and rearranged at a cellular level returning, as exhaustion, warmth, and pleasure began to assault his nerves. Lin could feel as though he was wrapped in soft, warm rubber, especially in his lower half. While his head and chest remained lost in the interior of the monster, it had used his lower half to grow a second pair of legs. Feet sprang from its chest as its body began to reshape into something more quadrupedal. And with these new limbs came unexpected but certainly no unwelcome attachments. The monster began to fondle the newly added sheath, further bombarding Lin’s mind with euphoria. The monster began to tickle and pleasure its new genitalia, and soon the tip began to slowly unsheath itself. Once the tool had made its presence known to the monster, it began to stroke its new toy. With each stroke, the latex cock began to harden and leak small dribbles of gooey pre. The remaining strands of Lin’s consciousness were overwhelmed by this new treatment, but still he rebelled. He began to feel the beast’s hold on him weaken with the impending climax, but he also feared that may be the moment he will be lost. With no choice other than submission, Lin struggled in synchronized movement with the strokes of his possessed member. As he suspected, the hold placed on him weakened as his cock began to build up pressure. But this came with more mental conditioning, but he still persisted. Soon, he was nearing the exits of this prison of mind and body, just as the pressure in his cock had reached its limits. With the final thrusts of the monster, Lin bursted from the literal belly of the beast. Lin only had a moment to recuperate, as the monster had surprisingly survived his expulsion from within it. He ran as fast as he could to the factory in the distance, only being able to pick up the gun and rubber trousers he had left behind when the beast claimed him. He made it to a door on the side marked with a yellow note, which was thankfully unlocked. Lin just catched his breath, and began to take in the sights of the abandoned human factory. For the main part, it was kind of underwhelming. Yes, there plenty of old conveyor belts and old food processing machines, but that was it for the main part. That and the large amounts of black puddles staining the walls and floors. Lin began to explore the place, careful not to touch any of the puddles. He knew they wouldn’t transfur him, but they would alert any nearby monsters to his presence. Lin began to read the note from the door. It said “MET ME ON FIRD FLOWR BEWHERE OVERS” “Meet me on the third floor, beware the other monster.” Others? Lin hadn’t seen any monsters as he made his way up the stairs. Maybe this familiar monster meant other monsters, like the ones outside the building. He climbed up the floors, revealing the second to be for packaging, and the third seemed to be for processing. He looked into a nearby cardboard box and found it to be filled with canned and jarred foods. He made note to remember these, since he and his uncle lived away from the comforts of the shelter. He explored through a maze of stacked boxes and crates, sometimes having to push them out of the walk way. But he made sure not to make them collapse, just in case there were other inhabitants to this place. After about ten minutes of wandering, he made his way to a strange part of the factory floor. It appeared to be a castle made from cardboard boxes, with big black arrows pointing to its entrance. Lin was honestly impressed, the time and craftsmanship that went into this was stunning, to say the least. Lin then made his way into the fort, hoping that he would not regret following the instructions of a random monster that could assimilate him at any moment. So yeah, fingers crossed. Lin entered a small room littered with books of all shape and size, and at the center of it all sat a small monster. Lin gazed at the dark latex wolf being, their wiggling ears, their softail, their adorable face mask. There were those strange thoughts again. Lin couldn’t help it; whenever he looked at the monster, he felt a sense of comfort and familiarity that he felt he knew once before. The monster had been currently distracted by its book, but soon noticed the human. “You came, you really came.” “Uhh...hi?” “Hi, my name’s Puro! And I’ve been waiting for you.”
