#9 The Collective

Your neighbor, your teacher, your driving instructor. Are you sure these people are who they appear? Is there something off about them, something alien? Does it seem that instead of looking you in the eyes as they talk with you, their head flails about like a ragdoll’s? Do their voices not match their moving lips? Are their hands cold and hard? Maybe even a bit sharp? What you may have here, instead of a person, is what is known as “a collective”. These little creatures take shape in clothing they’ve tailored and function together as one unit. They each think independently, but can all function well in making this one “person” not only mobile, but in several cases, a believable human being.

Some folks are just gullible like that.
