Many moons ago, in a forgotten era rendered insubstantial by the harsh sands of time, a man had been cursed in the most peculiar of manners. Forced into existence as a malevolent spirit, he was shaped into a parasite laden with inhuman power. This grotesque being, once a man of virtue, was capable of penetrating human bodies and draining their vital essence meticulously, bit by bit, leaving them bereft of life's vibrant energy.
For years, this disembodied entity skulked around in the darkness of existence, migrating from one host to another in pursuit of survival. His essence was lost in the labyrinth of sins, an unholy spirit basking in a life he no longer claimed as his own.
Recently, this spirit had found a home in Martha, a spirited forty-year-old single mother of three. An ordinary woman on the outside, yet harbouring an extraordinary resilience within, giving her strength to persevere through the difficulties of life alone. As the days turned into weeks, the parasitic entity gnawed on her vitality, gradually eroding away at her once indomitable spirit. With each sunrise, her energy drained, and her strength withered, leaving behind a maternal shell of what once was a formidable woman.
The parasite had grown weary too in every possible sense of the word. The whispering echoes of existence relentlessly reminded him of the sullen existence he was forced to endure, stripped of his identity while masquerading in another's body. Finally, a decision was made, to vacate the vessel rapidly depleting of vitality.
Under the veiled comfort of the night, the parasite stealthily made its way into the room of Jake, Martha's eldest. Jake was in the bloom of his youth, a sprightly sixteen-year-old boy who resembled his father, a man long forgotten in the dusty corners of memories. The parasite, overwhelmed by the scent of his youthful vitality, slithered into him through the subtle point of contact; the gentle brushing of lips. A process morbid yet impeccably orchestrated, Jake remained undisturbed in his slumber throughout this spectral invasion, completely oblivious to the nefarious entity that took over his body.
An eerie stillness claimed the house as the unfolded reality of promiscuous existence slipped back into its cloak of invisibility. The petrifying cycle of life feeding upon life continued as a story whispered into the void between the stars, a tale covered by the blanket of normalcy but imbued with horror. Therein laid the ghostly lament of a man condemned to live through the lives of others, hidden in plain sight yet disappearing into the realm of forgotten stories.

Prompt: Many years ago, a man turned into a strange parasite capable of taking over people's bodies, while feeding on their vital forces. Now he was in the body of a 40-year-old single mother of three children, every day he devoured her vital reserves more and more and her body became weaker. Finally, he got tired of it and at night he sneaked into the room of her 16-year-old son Jake and leaning against him with his lips began the process of transition into his body. Keep in mind that Jake didn't wake up.
