Janet almost couldn’t make up her mind; there were so many things to choose from!

Finally, she decided on something in the “pill” category.
A snake transforming pill.
She recalled that reptiles in general had always amazed her.
‘ I mean, come on! ‘ she thought to herself while browsing the stocked-full shelves, ‘ Who wouldn’t think that a chameleon, or rattlesnake was cool? ‘
But the pill she picked out was not just any old snake pill. No, this pill was to transform fully (without losing your human mind) into a
Pit Viper. Her favorite.
Going back up to the old man, her asked the price of the item.
“ Are you sure you not like reverse potion to go with pill? “ the Chinese man asked.
“ Oh, well, of course! “ Janet answered, feeling silly, “ I guess I forgot about you selling that too. “
The old man smiled. Then giving her the reverse potion replied, “ 10.45, both included. “
Paying, Janet left the Ointment store.

Upon arriving back at her house, Janet wondered weather or not to try out the snake pill now, or after dinner.
She still felt a bit grossed out about eating mice as a snake, even if she liked the rest of it.
“ After supper then, “ she concluded.
Then a thought ucured:
How would she be able to open the reverse potion if she ended up a real Pit Viper?
‘ I know! ‘ she thought, ‘ I’ll just fix that problem by poring the potion into a bowl. Smiling at the idea, she did just that, then began to prepare dinner...
10 minutes later, she was ready to try out the pill.
Drinking a glass of water, Janet gulped the snake pill down.
Imedently, she began to feel what could only be described as exhausted.
Laying down on her sofa, she instantly fell fast asleep, not even realizing that her changes, were slowly just beginning...
