This was an essay for a World Literature class with the objective being to rewrite Kafka's Metamorphosis in a modern setting. Obviously, my writing doesn't compete with Kafka, but I did my best. I actually wrote this while looking at a bullet point list of the events from the Metamorphosis, so events and actions should follow closely but with changes I personally chose for my depiction to be distinctive. Some of my classmates wrote happier (and much shorter) endings, including Gregor flying away. I stand by my choice :D
