Maria had lived a normal life up to this point. She lived in a fairly traditional catholic family in Brooklyn, she had always been a good girl and a good student, her parents were proud of her. But this night everything changed, literally.
She awoke feeling very strange. It felt like her body was covered in bone, like she had a shell. Confused by the feeling she looked down at her hands and realized in horror that she did have a shell. White bone like material covered her entire body. It felt so strange and uncomfortable, she wanted it off of her.
Looking in the mirror she saw more horrific changes. Her proportions were somewhat normal for a human, but her entire body had an exoskeleton like an insect. She still had hair but her face looked different, it was just two giant read eyes. She tried to open her mouth but she felt the strange feeling of jaws opening sideways. She had become a bug!
Rushing downstairs to warn her parents she heard her mother's shocked voice from the other room, but it didn't say what she expected, "Maria! Put some clothes on."
She saw as her mother emerged from the other room that she too was insectoid. Maria realized what had happened, she'd heard of people universe swapping before, she'd entered a world of strange monsters.
