... He introduces the concept of "skinbags." Bags of skin that move and talk like people but that are not quite people...."Skinbags" is precisely what people were for me.

Imagine a situation where everybody in it become like this? By some virus, drug, or MindControl gone wrong! Actually I like that last idea, bringing back the mad scientist's lair, some frankenstein in the castle on the hill with a big mind control beam.

It ends with a torch-wielding mob burning down the castle , obviously.
