I turned on the TV in my room. It was set on one of the news channels. (I like to keep up for current events.) I was shocked to find the story on the air came from my town.
"Authorities are puzzled today by just what made high-school English teacher Rachel Smith transform into a bizarre hybrid of human and frog."
I sat up. Ms. Smith was one of the hotter teachers in my school, but a complete bitch.
"Here you see Smith by the gymnasium pool at her school ... " the story continued. I couldn't believe my eyes. There was SOMETHING green, a little slimy looking, sitting like -- well, like a frog. It was human size and had red hair plastered by moisture against its head. There was a close-up on the face and I could recognize that it WAS Ms. Smith!
"It was about 3:30 this afternoon, after classes had ended for the day," said a voice I recognized as Principal Warner speaking over the picture. "One of the other teachers walked into Ms. Smith's office and screamed. A moment later, THIS hopped out of the office."
The frog-lady was wearing panties and a sports bra. I guessed she had hopped out of the rest of her clothes.
"The frog-woman can make some sounds that sound like words, but her reactions are definitely amphibious, as we can see here ... "
The camera showed Ms. Smith sitting by the pool. Something, I think it was a waterbug, skittered by her. Suddenly, a tongue that had to be three feet long shot out of Ms. Smith's mouth, snagged the bug, and sucked it back into Ms. Smith's mouth. She began to munch on it.
I felt sick. Again, WHAT had happened?
