Dan's nose stopped changing, but a pain under his nose drew his attention. The pain felt as if he had been stung. He was hit with the pain again in almost the same location. He looked in the mirror again as a third sting struck him.
Dan watched as thin hairs grew from one side of his face. The stinging began anew on the other side of his face, followed by three hairs. As the sixth hair reached its full length, Dan realized what they were; whiskers.
"Are you alright, son?" his mother asked again.
Dan wasn't sure what to do, the changes were coming on faster and faster. He feared that soon he would be on all fours.
