Almost immediately, David collapsed to all fours, groaning and grunting in pain, as the final, suddenly overcharged, step of his transformation went underway.
"David?" Dennis asked his brother, "are you ok?"
David tried to answer, to say something, but all that came out of his aching mouth was a guttural roar.
David grew a short stumpy tail from his butt.
Then, David lost his second smallest toes, and gained brown spines on his back.
His face pushed and melded into a snout, and grew claws on his hands and feet.
soon, the transformation was over.
David had completely transformed into a monster.
Dennis stared at the monster that used to be his brother. "Wow," DENNIS SAID TO HIS MONSTERIZED BROTHER. "I can feel it's you, yet you look... different."
David grunted in response happily, and hugged his brother.
Yet, despite being a monster, he was still the same old David on the inside, the man who loved his wife and his daughter, and his brother, and his job.
