Day 350

It felt liker her stomach would never finish emptying itself.
She'd been crouched by the toilet for most of the day and it wasn't letting up.
What started out as everything she'd eaten had gradually become a pale green liquid.

It was stickier than anything she'd ever experienced, coating her mouth and chin.
Breathing through her nose was her only option, her mouth felt like a solid lump.
Still the liquid continued to pour out in great heaves.

The toilet was close to overflowing and the liquid had clogged it up too badly to flush.
Her vision flickered, hazy and dark around the edges as her head began to dip.
Before she could comprehend her head had gotten stuck in the thick ooze she was spewing.

At this point she was too tired to struggle and steeled herself for the end.
Her head dipped further and further into the ooze as if it was being dragged down.
She gave one final push, one final attempt at freeing herself.

It only pulled her deeper into the slimy liquid.
She should have been dead by then and yet she was able to breathe better down here.
Her lungs felt full of life but her body felt like lead.

They don't know what they found in there but it was definitely the source of the stench.
The tenant (or was it former tenant?) was discovered in the bathroom, coated in green ooze.
It dripped from the walls, had seeped under the door and encrusted her shrivelled form.

Stranger still they saw her head rotate 180 degree from inside the toilet bowl to stare at them.
They decided to leave her there, at least until her rent stopped coming.
The apartment was sealed off, every possible gap was closed off just in case it kept spreading.

Eventually her bank account ran dry and the landlord called in the cops.
They opened the door and refused to go any further, said it was something unnatural.
The ooze was a thick green wall blocking the rest of the flat off.

Her head drifted through it calmly, hair dragging behind like seaweed.
Sometimes you can see her peering through the curtains, she always seems so happy.
People have tried to join her before but she rejects them all.

Their bodies are found within hours of them walking into her apartment.
Always shrivelled and coated in that green slime.
Their faces though, their faces are always untouched and smiling like they got what they wanted.
