Another being (alive!) is growing inside of you. It entirely lives on your resources, and it gradually sucks up all your energy. It even makes you sick from time to time.
Let's be honest: it's the plot of numerous sience-fiction movies, in which an alien uses your body as a pod until it's grown full-size and can take over. Only the people closest to you notice that there's something "slightly wrong" - but by then it's too late. "Invasion of the body snatchers" - sounds familiar?
In real life, all of this is called "being pregnant". There's this tiny creature hiding in your belly, and it's causing major havoc. Telling you what to eat and what not. Making you go to bed at 8 PM. Playing with your emotions. Etc, etc.
From time to time I still think it's too weird to be true, and I'll wake up any minute. Which would be a shame, 'cause I already love my little alien body snatcher.
