After coming home from the steakhouse I told my friend I didn't feel very well and decided to go to bed. That night I could feel something changing. At first I felt my stomach churn. Perhaps it was just food poisoning. Then I noticed the incredible hunger, but I wasn't hungry for meat. Walking out to my backyard I saw the long grass. It looked so good and I couldn't help myself. Eating the grass however changed something. My hunger subsided and I felt like my body was withering in the wind. My skin was turning green and brown. That's when I picked up on what was happening.
Running to my fridge I saw the salmon sitting at the bottom. Cooking it quickly I forced myself to eat it. My skin changed from green to scales. I began to struggle to breathe. I ran to my bathtub and turned the water on quickly. Now I could breathe, but I knew this wouldn't last forever. That was when I had my idea. Holding my breath, I called my friend back.
When he arrived I called him up to the bathtub. The scales probably frightened him. I beckoned him closer and when he did I grabbed him. Holding him under the water he struggled but I mustered all my strength until I didn't feel him move anymore. I held his finger up and took a bite. I could feel the scales retreating and my smooth skin return to me.
It's been a couple days now and I've finished the body but I'm starting to get hungry again. I wonder what the mailman tastes like?
