If the Sheet Fits, Maru

From the farthest reaches of space, a mysterious shape-shifting alien blob lands in Maru’s living room and begins to copy his earthly form, starting with the face. Hana attacks the impostor, but to no avail. The transformation complete, the alien being sheds his outer skin and assumes his role as New Maru, fooling even Hana, whose memory only goes back a few minutes.

    It’s a spooky ghost Maru!

    This is like a French art movie from the 50s, mysterious and possibly profound. While we see Maru’s face, Hana is not fooled and attacks. After a struggle, “Maru” emerges. The End.

    It was a good attempt, Hana.

    I was gratified to see the tail flicking still occurred in the “alien” Maru!

      I’ve always suspected that the tail was an alien. It seems to have a life of its own.
