Whilst exploring the basement, Ryan had been drawn towards a strange box in the corner of the room. Opening it, he found inside a large crystal orb of jet black. It pulsated with a black light. Ryan touched the orb and there was a flash of black and next thing he knew he was a wererat, 3 feet tall!
Being transformed into a rat was the least of his problems. The cellar seemed even darker now and there seemed to be strange shadowy creatures advancing on him in the darkness. The screams from the rest of the house told him that the others were in danger too!
Just as Ryan thought he was beyond hope, the cellar hatch opened and a giant alligator started squeezing through. It looked like one that had been embaumed and stuffed, and wore what looked like a brassire made from gator skulls. "Can I have a little help here?" the gator replied in a female British accent "I seem to have gained a bit of girth."
