Distortion

Mike's life takes a disturbing turn when he comes into contact with a strange, leech-like creature that attaches itself to his body. At first, the effects are subtle-heightened energy, sharper focus-but soon the creature begins altering his blood flow, metabolism, and even his thought patterns. As Mike struggles to maintain control over his own mind and identity, he finds himself torn between the creature's growing influence and his feelings for Ann, the one person who seems to ground him in reality.

Meanwhile, researchers Dr. Elias and Dr. Anika are investigating the organism from a scientific perspective. Fascinated and alarmed by its ability to manipulate human physiology and cognition, they work to understand its origins, mechanisms, and potential risks. As their discoveries deepen, it becomes clear that the creature is far more complex-and dangerous-than they initially imagined.

As Mike's condition intensifies, the two storylines converge, forcing both him and the scientists to confront a critical question: is the creature merely a parasite, or is it something far more intelligent and transformative?
