Rick Daniels did not have the best life. No matter what he did, it seemed as if everything that could go wrong in his life did. After dropping out of high school numerous years ago he had moved from town to town looking for work. Struggling with an alcohol addiction did not help his case. His drunken attitude in his earlier years cost him every job he ever had. Around the age of thirty Rick awoke one morning to find himself alone, sitting in the street, recovering from the previous night's drinking. His wallet was empty, his rent far overdue, and his job prospects falling down the toilet.
From that day on Rick lived the life of a homeless man. He moved city to city drifting through the country, living off of the scraps of the generous. Usually Rick had to travel to areas with warmer climates so for this part of the fall he found himself in the coastal town of Santa Cruz, California. The weather was nice, the sun warm, and the women pretty. Rick was spending a sunny Friday like most, sitting on the boardwalk with a cup in his lap asking for donations for a bottle of whiskey. As the day went on he grew tired and dozed off to sleep. When he awoke it was around three in the morning and the boardwalk was a ghost town.
As Rick stood up he noticed that one building had its lights still on, upon closer examination he saw that it was the gumbo stand. Interested Rick walked up to the stand and peered inside.
What he saw shocked him. The owner of the stand, a black woman who Rick knew by the name of Simone, had a young black teenage girl tied to a chair. Simone was walking around the girl and speaking with an evil tone, "Now that I have you here I can finally use my voodoo. A few more seconds and your lovely body and life will be all mine."
The girl was crying and struggling to get out of the chair she was strapped in. Despite her best efforts she couldn't get out.
Simone then grabbed a pouch of what appeared to be a spice of some kind and poured it into a drink. After finishing the concoction she had made Simone reached her hand out and touch the girl's stomach.
What happened next almost made Rick vomit. Simone's hand seemed to fuse with the young girl's on the stomach. The young girl screamed and screamed, but the duct tape on her mouth muffled her cries. Simone then appeared to be pulled into the young girl's stomach. Simone used her other hand to untie the girl and began to smile, "Now I will become you."
The young girl's eyes rolled into the back of her head and Rick could only watch as the young girl's head descended into her body. Simone was then violently sucked into the girl's small frame. For about ten seconds the girl's headless body sat motionless in the chair, but then Simone's head began to slowly emerge from the young girl's frame until her head sat perched upon the young girl's neck. Simone's eyes opened and she spoke in the young girl's voice, "Finally...A new life."
Rick was shocked, and amazed. Looking at the ledge of the shop he saw the pouch of spices the woman had used. Stealthily Rick grabbed the pouch and ran off. Whatever was in this bad had some magical power, and Rick knew that he could possibly use it.
Rick thought to himself, "Simone said she was taking her life. Does that mean she will become the girl?"
Fascinated Rick stormed off to the underpass where he spent most of his nights and slipped the pouch into his backpack, "I think I might just try this out tomorrow."
The next day Rick was once again sitting on the boardwalk. Thousands of people were out and about and Rick couldn't keep his eyes off of the pouch he had stolen from Simone. As he sat there he decided that he would try the voodoo spices out. Slipping some of the spices into a bottle of water Rick chugged down the solution. It was bitter and spicy, but Rick drank it to the last drop.
He felt a pleasant tingle run through his body as he began to look for a target to swap with. Looking around he saw a business man wearing an expensive suit http://wealthy-men.net/wp-content/upload...
Wanting to take his body Rick approached him.
Suddenly a young woman in her early twenties came closer to Rick. She was wearing high waisted shorts, a tube top, and sun glasses. She was extremely attractive and very cute http://cdn11.lbstatic.nu/files/looks/lar...
