Pain?
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Cancer?

Did you write this riddle razz?
I like it.
The line " I make man plant and animal quake" may be a key.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
While I have no clue to the answer...I like this.
It appears well constructed and thought out.
This appears that thought and skill were used.
I suspect there may have been some " research" too.
Without knowing the answer...this may be a display of art... a skill.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Mid-life crisis..
Is it hunger?
Bacterium or microbes in general?
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
A specific process...like digestion...respiration... or a specific microbe?
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
The Kreb's cycle? Citrus cycle? Production of ATP?... electron transport chain?
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Constipation?
DNA?

A little hint is always appreciated

Some kind of worm? Ringworm, tapeworm etc?
"Thanks, but no, it isn't a cowboy hat. It's a fedora. And yes, Indianna Jones is still socially relevant."
Hunger
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I thought of tapeworm too, but that bookcase and snake line is messing with me.

Vampire

Parasites?

care to break down the riddle? I can see most of how it fits, but would be interested in your thought process in making it up.
