Immediately, Gary's legs gave out, and he fell face first into the sand.
He heaved himself onto his back and watched as his transformation began.
his legs were involuntarily drawn together, and his feet flattened and spread out, in then blended together, and he could no longer separate his legs. They had joined together and become as one.
Gary watched as his shorts dissolved into thin air.
He watched as what had been his legs extended another full meter beyond where his feet should end, and a fish tail unravelled 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.
Gary wriggled and struggled into the ocean.
He was now a pot-bellied merman.
Intuitively this led him to look at his midsection to discover exactly where man met fish. The transition was surprisingly difficult to find, it was gradiated between several inches. In fact, Johnny couldn't view and recognize both sides at the same time, it was too much of a blur. What were scales on one side slowly became the goose bumps he saw earlier, then a few freckles on human skin.
he saw his bare chest as it blended into the tail. He seemed like a single unit, there was no longer any distinction in his eyes. The tail was a part of his torso and his torso was a part of his tail.
