His brave army lay, #transform-ed into a #slump.

She had arrived from the skies like a tornado; she-devil—skin of a goddess. Zapping out their courage with one fatal kiss each.
The Kings fear was real—his ex-wife was back & she was pissed. #vss365 #scifansat #satsplat

the open door
Footsteps transform
and dance across
a slumping floor
Light exists
in darkness
and waves break
gently
on every shore #vss365 #SciFanSat#SciFiFri #Poetry pic.twitter.com/RaXEOpKuGr
The sudden eruption was an inferno where lava met the sea. In time, there would be a new island, and the bare rock transform into nests and grass and trees. #SciFanSat #transform

Dusk #transforms into twilight. Night evolved it's borders past sunrise. Midnight breathes thoughts of death, homoserines to be deposed. Insane madness plots their demise. Waning hours of the light…deny. A chuckle echoes from the sky, the aliens have arrived…

“We transform into inconspicuous vehicles!”
“What do you turn into? A bus?”
“A space shuttle!”
“Those were NEVER inconspicuous. You have a third form?”
“A 19th century locomotive!”#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt
He #slump-ed in his chair, frustrated. "You fool! That's the last #chance you'll get to be #inconspicuous this #century! You can't #transform now, they'll catch you!"

I smiled, as a gun formed itself in my forearm flesh.
"They can try."#vss365 #2WordPrompt #vssmagic #scifansat
Her stomach churned at the sight before her eyes.

"How long will it take for them to #transform?"
"Quick. Their DNA is being resequenced as we speak."
"We better leave then."
"Don't worry. When it's done, they'll be more afraid of you than you are of them."#SciFanSat #satsplat
'Stand straight. Don't #slump.' I snapped.

There were six of them. The final subject didn't have to look exactly like me; we would complete the final transformation later.
But I needed to disappear for a while and it mustn't look like I was losing my grip.#vss365 #SciFanSat
Won't lie, watching Jack22 transform into a "real boy" is hard at times. to see the eyes wide joy of brand new sentience submit to the shoulder slumped, yonderly malaise of a human existence is sad. And the poor robot can't even taste fried chicken.#vss365 #bravewrite #SciFanSat

She enters the tavern and slumps into a corner. Rainwater drips from her cloak and the tip of her crooked nose.

"She transformed the Budgefords into tadpoles for laughing at her," one man mutters.
She wrings out her grey hair. Someday soon, they'll all learn.#vss365 #SciFanSat
Night will never #transform to the day

The fight in your heart no longer remains
I hear the twisted wreckage of your refrain
Chasing the high just to crave the pain
Only moving to outrun the #slump of decay
But never once did I ask you to stay#vss365 #SciFanSat

His century-old body was inconspicuously absent from the board meeting. #Slump or not, he's destined to further deterioration. Unless with the help of technology he'd #transform himself into another being, free from the daily hassles of mortality.#vss365#2WordPrompt
no defense

against Earth's softest weapons:
kittens
small Earthling felines

When she #slumped to the floor, the observers gasped. Would she transform within acceptable parameters?

Later, the answer depended on who you asked, although everyone left alive agreed it had been foolish not to reinforce the glass in the observation room.

—So you’re a robot and you can transform into a truck?
— A. A. Rubin (@TheSurrealAri) June 18, 2022
—Big deal. I’ve seen that act before.
—I can also do this…
—Holy hell, wtf is that? You’re scaring me.
—I tried to warn you. More than meets the eye. #SciFanSat #Satsplat #scifisat
The smell of your fear as you #slump to the ground tingles the way my tongue used to. Death #transformed me but my heart was already dead. I'm still drawn to you. Not to win you back, but to give you back the #fear you gave me.

Bob's hanging from a rope in the gym, he's cocooned in candyfloss. Slumped in the corner is a husk that used to be Ann. A tearing noise signifies he's breaking out of his cocoon. Bob's transformed into a pus yellow butterfly hungry for meat.

to another
bodied voice in
an emptied room
i could transform
this situation for you
whispers of my mind
its darkness bleak
as clouded night
lasts forever#SciFanSat#vss #poem
Transformation into a squab brings both physical and mental changes. My appearance is now that of every other squab: slump-shouldered, pot-bellied, mostly hairless. My mind is less changed. I'm still essentially me, a bit more docile, obedient, eager to serve.#SciFanSat #vss365

At first we play with the time slip, chasing each other through frozen fragments, laughing at the slo-mo #slump of faces caught unaware, finding hidden secrets, daring each other to go further, leave traces, make changes. To transform.
