HUMANOID AMOEBA
"Looking down again, they saw that a blob of something was growing on the pavement ten feet from them."
"Looking down again, they saw that a blob of something was growing on the pavement ten feet from them."
"Turning they saw it emerge into the light--shapeless and jelly-green under the white flare."
"There was a final surge, a shrinking, and its shapelessness contracted into limbs, a head, feet. the naked man-thing pushed itself to its knees and then stood straight, the flesh by now opaque. Eye sockets caved into the face. A mouth ripped apart on the skull and the chest began to move with a west steamy sound in irregular gasps."
"Something was happening at the front. Figures, three or four of them, were detaching themselves from the mother mass and preceding it."
