Nine-year-old Paul could hardly contain his excitement when he learned that his favourite uncle, Michael, was coming to visit!
The thought of spending time together filled him with joy.
However, when Uncle Michael arrived, Paul couldn't help but notice he acted a bit differently than he remembered.
It was puzzling, as if their bond had been replaced with a strange distance, and Uncle Michael seemed particularly captivated by Aunt Sandra.
That night, strange noises jolted Paul awake, leaving him so frightened that he wet the bed.
Embarrassed, he padded softly to his mom's room to share what had happened.
To his astonishment, he found her seemingly lost in her own world, having a good time.
Confused and seeking comfort, Paul tiptoed to the guest room, only to discover that Uncle Michael hadn't even slept there.
He was nowhere to be found! Little did Paul know that a mysterious shapeshifter had taken Uncle Michael's place, enacting a clever plan to stay close to his mom.
