It was quite a sight, when they left the school. Everyone that they saw outside was Goth. Everyone. Some were male, some female. Some were young, some old. Some were white, black, asian, latino ... it didn't matter what kind of person they were. Now, they were all Goths.
About a mile down the road, too far away for Sabrina and her friends to see, a woman and her 8-year old son were running away from the "new" Goths. They were everywhere. She had to get away from them and keep her son safe. Fortunately, there was a middle-aged woman, watching from her store, that saw the woman and her child running for their lives. She store woman opened her front door and waved them inside.
As they entered her store, she held the door open. She wanted to be courteous. It was probably the worst thing she could have done. Right before the middle-aged woman entered back into the store herself, a Goth snuck up behind her and placed headphones (attached to a radio) on her head. The Goth was probably waiting for the woman to leave her shop so that he could change her. The thing was, he probably would have waited all night just to have the opportunity to change her. It was that powerful desire to change people, once again.
The woman and kid turned around and looked at the middle-aged woman in total shock.
The "new" Goth woman was in shock herself. She ripped off the headphones and tossed them and the radio on the floor. In a mirror, she saw herself. Her brown hair was now black. She was considerably more pale. And she wore a black corset and long worn skirt. She could feel the weight of the boots on her feet.
Gradually, she came to terms with her new self and finally decided that it was better to be a Goth. She looked at the mother and child and had an intense desire to make them Goths too. They would be much better off after the change.
She picked up the radio and headphones off the floor and moved towards the mother and kid. By this time, the mother was holding her son in her arms, keeping him safe. Unfortunately, when she moved back away from the Goth woman, she accidentally lost her footing and tripped, falling on the floor ... without her son. The Goth woman had grabbed him before the mother fell to the ground.
When she looked up, her son was a Goth.
"Bobby, no."
She was so shocked by what had happened, she cried. And when she was done, her son had fully accepted his new self. He took the headphones from the Goth woman and offered them to his mother. "It'll be okay, Mom. You'll like being a Goth."
His mother screamed.
About two minutes later, two Goth women and a young Goth boy left the store. They began their search for more people to change into Goths.
This sort of thing was happening all over town. And in every other town that the signal reached.
