It percolated up from the ground, a mass of purple goo, all fetid and bubbling. What was it? No one knew. It consumed us all, starting at the fingertips, digesting us slowly, until we were gone, all gone. Years went by, centuries in fact. Then life returned, small, simple plants and animals, sliding out from the ooze of the earth, then transforming into a myriad of other creatures: swimming, walking, flying. And then we returned, not as we were before. Transformed and aware. Alive.
