You wake up to the sound of birds chirping. That's strange, you think, because you live in the city, and you don't often hear birds. As you listen more closely, you realize that for some reason, the birds seem very loud, as if your hearing has gotten better. You lie there for a few seconds, still drowsy, leaving your eyes shut. Then a small breeze brings a scent to your nostrils, a scent of... bird. You don't quite know how you can pinpoint it, or how your sense of smell is this good.
"Strange," you think to yourself. You open your eyes, ready to see the white ceiling of your room, and you're shocked to see green and brown all around you. Reflexively, you reach for your glasses, but you grope at nothing but air, instead of your bedside table. Then you realize that everything is extremely clear, the trees, the bushes, even those carpenter ants on that tree about ten yards away!
Your name is... was... Steven Porter. You had just gone to sleep last night, just finished with the last day of high school. You were a senior, but you have yet to have a girlfriend, or unfortunately,ever gone past a little innocent kissing. You had expected to finally see some action in college, but you had the whole summer ahead of you before that. Now though, you are in a strange... forest, it seems, for no apparent reason.
You start getting up, and although you normally would be drowsy, slowly getting up, you aren't now. You go from lying on your back to flipped onto all fours, and within a split second, you are on your feet. Amazing! That was almost super-human!
Then you look down at yourself. Your heart skips a beat as you gasp in shock. You are buck-naked! Your normally white skin is a bronzed tan, and imperfections like birth marks are gone.
You feel more powerful, pumped with energy, although you don't seem to have larger muscles. Examining yourself further, you realize that your feet have changed, looking more like human-sized paws then feet. Your toenails have changed into claws, sharper and stronger than your previous nails. You examine your legs, which look normal. Your pubic hair has vanished, strangely, and as you examine yourself some more, you realize that you have no armpit hair or chest hair either, like a child. Your stomach is flat and taut, but your shoulders are more boyish than manly, although you feel more agile and quick without the bulk. You look at your dick again, and you realize that its quite a bit larger than usual. It hangs semi-erect in front of you in the cool air, and while it would normally be around six and a half inches fully erect, it is now that size only semi-erect, and just as thick.
As you are examining your back, your tail whips back and forth. Wait... a tail!?
With its own muscles, you whip your tail around in front of you. It is powerful, a whole new limb, rounded at the end. It is quite long, a little less than five feet, and it waves involuntarily, steadying your balance.
You run your hands over your head. Your whole face and neck are hairless, in fact your head is normal except for...Two large ears extending out from your hair! No wonder you could hear so well...
The nails on your hands catch your eyes, and you examine them. Your hand shape hasn't changed, but your fingernails have morphed into talons, like your toenails. They are curved, and seem sharp enough to cause harm if you want to.
Your body feels different, still, but you don't really know how to explain it.
You stand there, not knowing what to do. |
