As Tyler ponders over these thoughts, her imagination seemed to move on it's own...

Tyler called out to Rick, trying to reason with them, but all she got in return was fear and bullets. The shots did little to harm her slime-based body, but their actions hurt more than the wounds.

A sudden rage boiled within Tyler's mind, she jumped forward, snarling. A quick slash from her talons ended Rick's assault. As Rick fell, gasping from the wounds on his neck, Tyler turned to the other officer...

NO! NO! NO!

Tyler screamed internally to stop that train of thought. She can still feel the alien presence, Tylix, somewhere in her mind, making these thoughts. It has been an action-packed roller-coaster up till this point, and now that the adrenaline has faded, she could stop and collect her thoughts.

Am I the monster now?

The thought echoes as she gazed at the alien face staring back on the water's reflection. A deep sense of dread settled in her stomach. Does she even still have a stomach? From there a sense of panic begins to swell up, Tyler tries to remember how her face looks like, her talons trying to trace her features, then digging into the symbiote skin.

No, I. Am. Tyler!

Tyler clawed into the dark skin, hoping to find her human face beneath this "mask". She ignored the dull pain from ripping her cheeks apart, even as Tylix tries to stop her act of self injury.

Artist's Note:

Time for an existential crisis.
