1
00:00:04,679 --> 00:00:07,839
Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world.

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,279
I'm Martin, and you are listening to Dad's bedtime stories. Tonight,

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,439
we're going to be jumping back into one of my

4
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:21,239
new series, the shape Shifter Universe, a world where you've

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,960
recently been given the power to shape shift into anything

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,280
you've touched, I guess, any animal or anything like that.

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,960
And I finally got my first suggestion for it, so

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,759
I thought we'd go with it. Let's check it out.

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: B'm my name in August. I live in Calgary, Canada,

10
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:43,280
and I'm eight years old. I would like a story

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:50,759
for the Shifting series where there's green aliens and everything

12
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:57,799
they touch turns into bobs of goo and you stop them.

13
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,240
Thank you. I love your podcast, ten stars.

14
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, August. Honestly, when I said people should write

15
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,239
in and give me suggestions for the shapeshifter universe, I

16
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,000
thought it would be about turning into different animals and

17
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,920
stuff like that. But you came up with aliens who

18
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,239
turned things to go, which I think is pretty fun too.

19
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:24,959
Before we get started, I just have some show notes

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,239
to give to some of the listeners. As many of

21
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:30,719
you know, I'm doing a March social share contest where

22
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:33,000
if you share the podcast with other people you think

23
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,000
might like it on social media or whatever, you get

24
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,159
entered in a draw for a possible guaranteed story idea

25
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,400
and an interview for me. And I've had some more

26
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:48,400
people join the contest. So thank you to Keisha J.

27
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:52,200
For joining the contest, perhaps on the part of a child,

28
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:54,879
or maybe you are the child. It's hard to know sometimes.

29
00:01:55,879 --> 00:02:01,159
Thank you to Christina J. For joining the contest. Thank

30
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:06,200
you to Wilder for joining the contest, and thank you

31
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:11,560
to Olivia N and Mom Lisa for joining the contest.

32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,240
You guys have all shared the podcast and I now

33
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,800
consider you Dad's Bedtime Stories ambassadors. People willing to find

34
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,400
someone who looks like they need a better night's sleep

35
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:25,919
and suggest the podcast to them. If you want to

36
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,840
check out that contest as well, in case you're interested

37
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,599
in joining or taking submissions to the end of March.

38
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,560
All of the details are in the show notes. But

39
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:39,479
now it's that time again, after a possible word from

40
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,680
a possible sponsor, because podcasts need to be funded, after all,

41
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,000
close your eyes, get as comfy as you can in

42
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:53,560
that bed, and imagine yourself doing what the kid in

43
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:59,240
the story does. Imagine yourself waking up in your very

44
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:03,919
own bed, in your very own home. Just the other day,

45
00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:07,120
you met a wizard that was disguised as a dog

46
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,840
who gave you shape shifting powers. It's been pretty fun

47
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:16,599
to experiment with them. Since first you collected the form

48
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,919
of a cat, then a bird, then a gorilla, and

49
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,400
a tiger, and since then, any animal you've come across

50
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,599
you've gently called over to yourself, placed your hand on it,

51
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:39,000
and absorbed their DNA signature, allowing you to turn into

52
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,240
them as well. Luckily for you, it also seems to

53
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,039
have given you the ability to calm down animals and

54
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,319
speak to them, making it a lot easier to acquire

55
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:59,479
the powers. Today, you're hoping to gain even more animal forms.

56
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:03,560
You head out of your room and pass the room

57
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:09,240
with the TV in it. This just in Strange alien

58
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,960
ships have arrived over cities around the world. Strange green

59
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:22,920
alien creatures have been appearing and reportedly turning people into goo.

60
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,839
Uh is that right? They're actually turning people into goo?

61
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,639
The reporter asked to somebody off screen. Yes, apparently that

62
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:37,079
is correct. They are turning people and even things into goo.

63
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,199
Stay tuned for more. The TV switches to images of tall,

64
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:49,279
green alien creatures touching cars and melting them into goo,

65
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,120
or putting their hand on innocent people and turning them

66
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,639
into goo as well. Even stranger than that, the goo

67
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:04,800
seems to come to life. After the things are melted,

68
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:11,519
they sort of move around, join together, creating gigantic blobs.

69
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,279
The blobs begin capturing more people and more things for

70
00:05:17,399 --> 00:05:23,519
the aliens to turn into. Go Oh, no, you say,

71
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:28,800
I can't be good. You hear a voice coming from

72
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,680
the window. Where are you plading on helping it all?

73
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:38,560
The voice says, you look over to see a bird

74
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:44,040
sitting in the window. The bird hops inside and slowly

75
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:51,399
transforms into that same wizard wearing green robes. Now, I

76
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,639
told you when you accepted the power that you would

77
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:00,600
be drawn into adventure. I believe this may be one

78
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:07,680
of those situations. These green goop aliens have bothered me before.

79
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,279
But don't worry. There is a simple way to uh well,

80
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:21,600
defeat them by giving them a taste of their own medicine. Ah,

81
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:24,920
what do you mean, a taste of their own medicine? Oh,

82
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:31,480
you'll figure it out, toodlu. The wizard transforms once again,

83
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:36,839
back into an eagle, of sorts. It flaps its wings,

84
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:43,279
flies out the window, and disappears into the distance. Wait

85
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:46,399
a second, as he's saying, it's up to me to

86
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:51,399
stop these green alien guys and giving them a taste

87
00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:57,279
of their own medicine is the way to do it. Ah, Okay,

88
00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:02,839
You head outside. You focus on the form of the

89
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:06,839
bird that you absorbed the other day, and your body

90
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:14,120
begins to feel sort of wobbly, less solid. Then you

91
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,560
begin to change shape. Your arms stretch out into wings

92
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,360
that then shrink down to the tiny wings of a bird.

93
00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:27,839
Your legs become little bird legs, Your head stretches out

94
00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:32,360
into a beak, and you begin to flap your little wings,

95
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,439
soaring higher and higher into the sky until you're high

96
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,079
enough up to glide. You realize that you're really going

97
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,759
to need a better bird form than this. Certainly it

98
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:48,480
gets you from place to place, but it's not a

99
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,199
very big bird or a very scary bird. You'll have

100
00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:56,800
to research something more scary, something larger and able to

101
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:01,439
fly or really long distances. But that's a problem for

102
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:06,560
another time. You realize you glide high above the world,

103
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:11,279
looking down on the tiny people and tiny houses below,

104
00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:15,839
until you eventually come towards some of the chaos that

105
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:20,720
the news was reporting. You see large alien ships floating

106
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:25,879
in the air over the downtown center. Below, you see

107
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:30,920
groups of aliens moving through the streets, turning everything into

108
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,000
goo and then commanding the giant piles of goo to

109
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:42,159
attack people and things. It's all really strange looking. You

110
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,759
think for a second, which of your forms could possibly

111
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:50,440
take on these strange aliens. The strongest ones you can

112
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:55,879
think of are the gorilla or the tiger. So as

113
00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:59,799
you swoop down towards one of the aliens, turning everything

114
00:08:59,799 --> 00:09:05,120
in to go, you allow yourself to transform. As you

115
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,720
fall from the sky, your body reforms itself into a

116
00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:15,600
very powerful gorilla. You swing on a lamp post, perform

117
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,120
a perfect backflip and land straight in front of one

118
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:25,080
of the aliens. You beat your chest using your arms

119
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,960
and run straight for the alien ready to attack. You

120
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,879
jump in the air attempting to tackle the creature, when

121
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,759
a stream of goo hits you from the side, pins

122
00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:42,720
you up against a building. You can't get free, at

123
00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:47,240
least not in this form. You allow your body to

124
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,159
become less solid again, and as you sort of melt

125
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:56,000
into the bird form once again, you get loose from

126
00:09:56,039 --> 00:10:00,200
the goo and fly up into the air. Obviously, you're

127
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:06,000
gonna need another tactic, maybe something stronger, maybe the tiger.

128
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,679
You swoop down towards the alien, allow yourself to transform

129
00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:16,559
into the tiger, and begin running with your powerful tiger legs.

130
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,080
As soon as you land on the ground, you charge

131
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:26,759
directly towards the alien again, when once again, Goop shoots

132
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:30,360
you from the side and slams you up against another building.

133
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:37,399
Trapped once again, you transform back into the bird, slip

134
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,399
out of the goop, and fly high up in the air. Obviously,

135
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,559
you're gonna have to think about this a little more.

136
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,759
How exactly are you gonna give them a taste of

137
00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:53,840
their own medicine, especially if you can't touch the creatures.

138
00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:57,919
The thought pops into your mind that if you could

139
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,320
put your hand on one of the creatures, maybe you

140
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,320
could transform into them. Maybe you could get goo powers

141
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,039
as well. But to do that, you'd have to sneak

142
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:14,639
up on them. They'd have to not see you coming.

143
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,759
How exactly could you achieve that goal, you wonder? Your

144
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:25,440
bird form is pretty agile. Maybe you could just swoop

145
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:28,320
down and land on them before they can hit you

146
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:33,480
with a blast of goo, or maybe there's something smaller

147
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:40,559
and less noticeable. You land on a nearby building and

148
00:11:40,639 --> 00:11:45,200
you see a little spider web. Trapped in the web

149
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:53,200
is a fly, maybe you wonder. Walking up towards the fly,

150
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,200
you lift up one of your legs and place it

151
00:11:57,279 --> 00:12:01,759
on the back of the thigh. You focus on absorbing

152
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,440
the fli's DNA, and you allow your body to become

153
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:12,200
wobbly once again. You start to shrink down, smaller and

154
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:18,720
smaller and smaller, until you are a fly. Your vision

155
00:12:18,799 --> 00:12:23,039
suddenly looks super strange, as if you can see in

156
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:29,000
every direction at once. Fly eyes are really cool. You

157
00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:33,279
buzz up into the air and dart straight down towards

158
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:38,000
one of the aliens. You loop around behind him and

159
00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:42,679
carefully and sneakily you land on top of his head.

160
00:12:44,039 --> 00:12:50,080
You focus on absorbing the alien DNA. A strange sensation

161
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:56,399
passes through your body as you acquire it, and you

162
00:12:56,519 --> 00:13:02,039
fly away into an alleyway. You land on the ground

163
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:08,240
and once again allow yourself to transform, this time focused

164
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:14,120
on the alien's DNA. Your arms and legs grow back,

165
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:18,440
only they grow a lot longer than they were before.

166
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:25,440
You feel stronger than your human form, more capable perhaps,

167
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:32,840
And strangely, you feel a sensation you've never felt before,

168
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,919
as if you can sense something that's not inside your body,

169
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:44,080
but outside your body, the goo. You walk over to

170
00:13:44,159 --> 00:13:48,000
a set of trash cans near by, place your hands

171
00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:51,759
on them, and allow your alien instincts to take over.

172
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,440
A strange surge of power shoots through your hands into

173
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:02,759
the garbage cans, and they immediately melt into goo, along

174
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:07,279
with all of the garbage inside them. Only this goo,

175
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:12,480
you seem to be able to manipulate as you move

176
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:17,320
your hands. The goo obeys. You move your hands left,

177
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,000
and the goo rushes across the ground the left. You

178
00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:25,840
stretch them up into the air, and the goo stretches up.

179
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:29,240
Your thoughts alone seem to be able to mold it

180
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,480
into any shape you can imagine. You practice this by

181
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:37,679
turning it into a large goo dog for a second.

182
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,559
Cool you imagine the dog running forward, and the dog

183
00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:48,799
made of goo does exactly that. In order to take

184
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,480
on these aliens and give them a taste of their

185
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:57,080
own medicine, though you're gonna need more goo, you quickly

186
00:14:57,159 --> 00:15:02,080
run down the alleyway, touching everything you can, garbage cans,

187
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,919
recycling bins old bikes that were left around a trashy

188
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,159
old car, and one by one you turn each of

189
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:16,799
them into goo. You wave your hands, commanding the goo

190
00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:21,600
to move together into a larger blob of goo. Then

191
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:26,240
you make your way out into the streets where the

192
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:31,960
other aliens are commanding even bigger blobs of goo. Now

193
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,799
that you've had a taste for it, you can understand

194
00:15:34,879 --> 00:15:38,159
why they want to turn everything into goo. It's pretty

195
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,919
fun to command this stuff. You see some nearby cars

196
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:47,240
and turn them into goo with a simple touch. The

197
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,240
lamp posts change to goo, the garbage cans in the

198
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:56,360
street change to goo. Every inanimate object you can find

199
00:15:56,519 --> 00:16:01,919
is quickly transformed into goo, and to your delight, the

200
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,279
other aliens don't seem to notice that you're not one

201
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,279
of them, So before you decide to take them on,

202
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,480
you decide to collect more goo. The only thing slowing

203
00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:20,679
you down is the need to walk everywhere. Then you

204
00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:26,120
realize you don't have to walk, you have goo. You

205
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,080
command the goo to sweep out under your feet, lift

206
00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:33,039
you up in the air, and move you down the

207
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:37,840
street as if you're riding a wave of goo. Each

208
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,240
car you pass by is transformed into goo, every street lamp,

209
00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:49,279
every garbage can, every stand of any kind, until you

210
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,120
have a mound of goo that rivals the mound of

211
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:59,559
goo that the aliens have. Then you turn around because

212
00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:03,200
now now it's finally time to give them a taste

213
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:10,519
of their own medicine. Hey, aliens, you yell as you

214
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,799
roll up on your wave of goo floating high in

215
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,839
the air, using the green substance as a sort of

216
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:26,039
extension of your body. Stop turning everything into goo. I

217
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,880
totally understand why it's fun. This is actually really really cool,

218
00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:35,119
But this is my planet and you can't turn it

219
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:42,839
all into green gobly gook. In response, the aliens say nothing.

220
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:49,240
They simply send their blobs of goo straight towards you.

221
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,839
You sink down onto the ground, lift up your hands,

222
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,359
and order your goo to form a shield around your body.

223
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:03,400
The blobs of goo colle creating a really strange, sticky

224
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,480
sort of sound, and you begin to push against the

225
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:15,279
other aliens. Unfortunately they have too much goo there. Mounds

226
00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:19,519
of goo start to wrap around yours and you feel

227
00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:23,319
like you're losing the battle. You back up down the

228
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,960
street and turn more things into goo to add to

229
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,480
your arsenal. A bike a scooter, a bank machine. Hopefully,

230
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,079
hopefully that's not a crime. But no matter what you do,

231
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:43,519
you just don't have enough goo. The goo starts to

232
00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:47,799
push towards you. Your goo is swallowed by the others,

233
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,960
and the aliens fly up in the air on little

234
00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:59,000
streams of goo above you. A bird lands on your shoulder. Well,

235
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,759
may I ask why you're only commanding your own gou?

236
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:10,039
The voice says, Ah, what do you mean? I figured

237
00:19:10,079 --> 00:19:14,039
that was the way it works. Oh, no, it doesn't

238
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:17,640
work like that at all. You have the ability to

239
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,920
command any goo. It's really more of a battle of

240
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,279
the mind than a battle of the goo you've created.

241
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,200
As long as you assarch your influence over the gou

242
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:37,920
stronger than the goo aliens, there'll be nothing they can do.

243
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:44,559
And as someone with shape shifting powers granted, do you well,

244
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:50,759
I feel you'll have a bit of an affinity for it. Really,

245
00:19:51,759 --> 00:19:55,720
You turn back to the giant mounds of goo approaching you,

246
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,480
and you reach out towards them with your hands and

247
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:08,119
with your mind. Something clicks in your brain as it

248
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,599
links onto all of the goo around you. You feel

249
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,720
other forces from the other aliens pushing against you, but

250
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:23,319
you decide to simply not listen. This goo is yours

251
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:29,359
and they can't have it. In a burst of mental energy,

252
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:35,119
all of the goo surrounding you suddenly decides to obey

253
00:20:35,839 --> 00:20:41,240
your command instead of theirs. You drop the streams of

254
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,039
goo that are holding up the aliens, and they fall

255
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:50,920
with a very satisfying PLoP into the goo below. You

256
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:55,000
wrap them each up tightly in your own goo and

257
00:20:55,119 --> 00:21:00,200
command the goo to surround you once again. The goo

258
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,480
moves underneath you, lifts you up in the air, and

259
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:09,119
you begin to move down the streets, capturing the goo

260
00:21:09,319 --> 00:21:13,400
of the other aliens with a simple command of your mind.

261
00:21:14,519 --> 00:21:19,079
Street after street, you collect all of the goo from

262
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,839
other aliens, bring it into your giant goo ball, and

263
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,400
wrap the aliens up in a tendril of the stuff.

264
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,640
By the time you've captured each and every one of them,

265
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:38,039
you're floating high above the town center on a gigantic

266
00:21:38,279 --> 00:21:44,000
blob of goo as tall as a skyscraper. You use

267
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,720
the tendrils of goo to shoot the aliens back into

268
00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:52,920
their ship, and you yell you want more of this,

269
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,480
come and get it. In response, the aliens shut the

270
00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:05,920
hatches on their ships and simply fly away. Now the

271
00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:09,880
question of what exactly do you do with this giant

272
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:16,920
mound of goo? Eh, well, may I suggest returning it

273
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,599
to its proper place. It's made up of a lot

274
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,440
of things and little people that would probably prefer not

275
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:31,279
to be goo. I can do that, you reply, of

276
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,960
course you can. Just as you command the goo, now,

277
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:40,359
you may command it to return to its rightful place,

278
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:48,000
its rightful state. It's all in your mind. So you

279
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,920
close your eyes, you sit cross legged a top the goo,

280
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,319
and you imagine it all moving back to where it

281
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,559
came from. You imagine it forming back into cars and

282
00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:10,039
trash cans and lamps and people and pats. And slowly

283
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,160
the goo begins to lower you down towards the ground

284
00:23:14,839 --> 00:23:18,960
as it moves and stretches back out over the streets,

285
00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:25,640
through the alleyways, and slowly it begins forming itself back

286
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,119
into the objects that were transformed in the first place,

287
00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:34,640
the cars, the lamp posts, the garbage cans, the particularly

288
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,799
shocked male man who had no idea what had just

289
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:43,839
happened to him. The streets transform from empty, lifeless places

290
00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:48,960
to a flurry of activity once again, and with a

291
00:23:49,079 --> 00:23:54,799
final thought, the last piece of goo solidifies and you

292
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,839
look out over the street. The cars are back where

293
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,559
they're supposed to be, The garbage cans are too, the

294
00:24:02,759 --> 00:24:08,440
lamps everything. The people, on the other hand, look rather disturbed.

295
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,119
You find them staring at their hands and legs and

296
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:18,440
then around at each other, silently asking if that actually

297
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,759
just happened, And then they catch a glimpse of you.

298
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:31,440
An alien uh oh, you realize. You allow yourself to

299
00:24:31,559 --> 00:24:36,480
transform once again, shrinking down into the shape of a bird,

300
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,759
and you flap your wings and fly away as quickly

301
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:45,400
as you can, before anybody can ask any real questions.

302
00:24:46,559 --> 00:24:50,559
You fly higher and higher and higher until you're high

303
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,440
enough to begin to glide. Then you simply spread your

304
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:01,640
wings and glide through the world on the wind as

305
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:07,039
you pass over all of the houses, the trees, the lakes,

306
00:25:07,279 --> 00:25:13,720
the rivers, until you spot your own home, a familiar place.

307
00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:19,240
You swoop down towards it, land in front of the door,

308
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,799
and transform back into your human form. As you do,

309
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:29,039
it feels good to be you again, having your own

310
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,599
arms and legs and fingers and toes. You make your

311
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:39,599
way inside and head directly for your bedroom. There's something

312
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:45,440
about transforming and commanding giant blobs of goo that's left

313
00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:53,000
you very, very tired. You crawl into your bed, pull

314
00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:57,599
the covers up to your chin, and you close your eyes.

315
00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:03,359
With each breath, you let go of a little more

316
00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:09,119
tension from your muscles. You allow your legs and arms

317
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:15,480
to sink down deeper into the mattress. With the next breath,

318
00:26:15,559 --> 00:26:24,000
you release your shoulders, then your neck, and last your face,

319
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:30,160
allowing it to soften into a nice half smile. And

320
00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:35,799
with each breath you sink down deeper and deeper into

321
00:26:35,839 --> 00:26:42,200
the mattress, and your mind begins to wander off to

322
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:48,920
thoughts of new dreams, new adventures, and new shapes to

323
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:53,920
shift into. To come good night, everyone.
