You jump into the cold shower and the Shokle of the cold water brings you the realization that you are not dreaming. Reaching back you pull on the scaly tail. Then you feel it move behind you. The Tail is real!
YOu jump out of the shower and look into the mirror again. The tail is now long enough to be seen from the front between your legs. A burning feeling washes over your legs and then a thought comes over you. I have to get to some water fast. YOu run out of the bathroom and fling the glass sliding door open and head for the house's swimming pool.
