He lay there on the cold bathroom tiles, completely out of place – quiet, strange, and a little unsettling.

My girlfriend and I stared at it for much longer than we should have, unable to explain why this small, shapeless mass seemed so unsettling. It looked like a damp, organic mass, something out of place in a clean, modern bathroom. The longer we looked at it, the less it made sense.

We explored a multitude of explanations, each more disturbing than the last. A parasite? A strange type of mold? Something falling off the walls? The more we speculated, the more the bathroom seemed like a place where something had quietly gone wrong.
