Amorpho was a creature with the ability to shapeshift into any creature he desired. How he managed to do this, nobody knew.
Amorpho was currently flying invisibly through a strip mall for someone to scam. He settled for an 'ESP Psychic Reading' store. They had all the cheap junk one would expect. Tarot Cards, Spellbooks, and faux items like that. Then he saw one of those phony seance tables. He smiled. Maybe he could get a laugh out of this somehow.
Clang-a-ling-lang!
The bell at the front of the store chimed, signaling a customer. Amorpho smiled. He flew to the person and possessed them, rooting through his memories. Amorpho nearly jumped from surprise. This man was not someone who deserved to be dealt with. As Amorpho rooted through the tall man's memories, he saw a woman. A woman with dark hair pulled back into a tight bun. She was clad in a pale green uniform. She had a matching duffle bag at her side, tears streaming down her face.
Amorpho jumped to another memory. The man was getting his mail, and saw an envelope. He tore open the letter.
We regret to inform you...ssing in action...odbye.
The man collapsed in tears.
Amorpho jumped to one last memory. The man promised himself he'd see his wife once more. He drove to the overlooked ESP place and walked in...
Amorpho let the man go. He had shaggy black hair and ocean blue eyes. He wore a raggedy NASA shirt and jeans. Amorpho tried to morph into the woman from the man's memories. He succeeded. He saw the man talking to a woman clad in all red. They sat down at the table. When his cue was up, he slowly faded into the visible spectrum. Telepathically, he read the man's mind for some names.
"D-danny! I'm fine! It's me, Sam!"
