Reed reached his house, and got inside.
But no sooner had he'd done so, he clutched his stomach. "OH my." He groaned. "That seafood salad I had for lunch is really disagreeing with me. "

his legs were involuntarily drawn together, and his feet flattened and spread out, in much the same manner as Johnny's and Ryan's had before him. His feet blended together, and he could no longer separate his legs. They had joined together and become as one. Reed watched as what had been his legs extended another full meter beyond where his feet should end, and a fish tail unraveled itself. Scales appeared along the tail, thousands of them, tinged bright blue. He felt his privates recede behind a flap of skin, so it looked as if they had never existed.
