"Can you hear me?" said the voice in my head.
"What?! Who said that?" I replied out loud, ignoring the stares.
"Oh good. I'm a symbiote."
"Shit, are you in my brain?"
"No, don't be silly--"
"Attached to my spinal cord? Are you going to control me and subsume my personality?"
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm talking to you through your earpiece, not your thoughts."
"Oh... What sort of symbiote are you?"
"I'm living on your phone. You might have to charge the battery more frequently."
