Chris and his friends decided to keep their info on the MonsterMe.com website to themselves.
But they hadn't reckoned on Mr Bubba, the school music teacher.
Mr Bubba was a man with a pudgy belly, an almond skin tone, blue eyes, and had balding black hair, and a moustache on his upper lip. He was wearing a navy blue argyle sweater vest over a white dress shirt, black pants, red argyle socks and black loafers.
He was on playground duty at the time, and somehow or other, he overheard them talking about the MonsterMe.com website.
Curious, he wandered over to them, staying near the far wall, so no one would see him eavesdropping.
But neither Chris nor his friends noticed him.
"A website that tfs people into monsters?" Mr Bubba mused. "This I need to investigate. It might be fun!"
So when break ended, Mr Bubba made a mental note to try the site himself when he got home.
He kept his thoughts to himself all through the rest of the school day.
When school ended, Mr Bubba got into his car, and drove off toward his house.

Once back home, he typed MonsterMe.com onto his computer. He went to the site. and a box showed he needed to register. After he registered, he saw a full body picture of himself on the screen, with his name, details, and all other stuff like that.
He clicked on his full body image, and saw a dizzying array of options to choose from. Options ranging from skin color 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 color palettes to choose the color for his monster self.
Mr Bubba's jaw dropped. He had to pinch himself to see if he was dreaming. How could the site do that? What else could it do? Who's running the site and what are they getting out of this?
All the same, he decided to have a go.
The first thing he thought of was his monster form's body.
He removed his slippers and peeled off his socks, and stared at the bare feet, his toes wriggling and flexing like worms.
"Hmmm." He said, in thought. "I'd like to have a body like a giant slug, so I would be able to slide on my belly all day and not need arms or legs, but keep my head shape."
Suddenly, the site somehow or other processes his thoughts, and changes the image of his body, morphing it into a giant slug body, merging his head into the body, removing the picture's clothes in the process.
Mr Bubba's jaw hung again. How did the site process his wish? What else could it do? Who's running the site and what are they getting out of this?
He decided to edit his monster form a bit. He kept his skin and hair colour on the monster body, pointed his ears, and added a third eye.
And he set the awareness settings so that he and only he would see and feel the transformation as it happened.
then, a message popped up. it said, "Shall we initiate tf now?"
'Yes/No'
"Ummm...I think it already did, but sure."
He clicked on Yes.
