Terry, he was a 36 year old man.
He was a 6'6 man with brown hair, blue eyes, and a pot-belly. He was wearing glasses, black lace-up shoes, faded blue jeans, and a purple plaid shirt.
He loved his family; his wife Tulia, their two boys, David and Danny, and his house.
However, he often wished he could be a different species, instead of a human, just for one day, so he could have a break from being a human.
--------------------------------------------------
One day, he had to pick up his two boys from soccer practice.
As he waited for them to come out of the locker room, he heard Zach, one of the kids, talking.
"I've recently heard of a new website, called MonsterMe.com." he told the other players. "I believe it can transform people into cartoon monsters like you would find in Monsters, Inc.”
"Monsters?" Terry mused, no sound coming from his mouth.
Curious, he leant in to the door from the bench he was sitting on, which was open a tiny crack, just so no one would know he was eavesdropping.
"Does it really turn people into monsters?" a little girl asked Zach.
"Exactly!" Zach said. "I bet we could all try it and become monsters for a while."
"Does it work on anyone, even grown-ups?" another little girl asked him.
"Yup. Kids, teens, grown ups, seniors, babies, it affects any age possible." Zach added.
Terry thought maybe Zach was right - he could have a go on the MonsterMe.com site, and use it to turn into a monster, and have a break from being a human.
--------------------------------------------
Once he'd picked up David and Danny, he brought them home, and set them in front of the tv, whilst he went up to his bedroom, and went on his laptop.
Throughout all this, he didn't tell them about how he'd been eavesdropping, in case they told his wife and she found out.
His wife was away helping her mother At the retirement home, and wouldn't be back in till dinner.
This would give Terry time to try the site out, and be able to turn back.
HE PUT THE SITE UP ON HIS LAPTOP, The website pulled up and he quickly created a profile for himself. He waited as the website loaded to the next page.
He was shocked when a full body image of himself loaded on the next screen, with his name, details, and all other stuff like that.
Perplexed as to how the site could have a full body picture of him, he decided to try out the settings to make his monster form.
he saw a dizzying array of options to choose from. Options ranging from skin colour to scaly or furry, to options for claws, fangs, horns and tails among many other things. he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the options. Each option had a sliding bar that allowed him to select the degree of change. There was even colour palettes to choose the colour for his monster self.
Terry decided to start with his face. he removed the glasses, and made the ears pointed, almost bat-like.
Then, he made his eyes black and beady, and turned the teeth in his mouth sharp.
Then he started on his body:
First, he removed the clothes, shoes and socks, leaving just his y-front underwear.
For the hands, he had the fingers become elongated claws, with clawed nails.
Then, he reduced the length of his legs a bit, and then made his feet 2 shoe sizes bigger than his normal shoe size [8], and made his feet have 3 toes with webbing inbetween them. That, he remembered when he, David and Danny pretended to be frogs, and he used rubber bands to fasten his toes, so they looked like 3-toed feet.
he added a small thin tail with a triangle end to pop out from his behind, above his underpants.
to finish off, he replaced his bellybutton with a huge yellow slitted eye.
FInally, in came the fun bit - the colours.
He chose bright blue for his hair, green for his hands and feet, and a pale purple for his body, even going as far as decorating his back in pink spots.
For length of transformation, he selected a minute. For duration, he selected an hour.
This was, of course, to try it out, to see what it was like for a little while.
Satisfied, he clicked preview and watched as his digital icon slowly transformed into the more monstrous self.
A new message box popped up: Initiate Transformation now? Yes/No
"Ummm...I think it already did, but sure." he clicked on Yes.
