Joey knew what to do. He wished that he was male but with octopus tentacles for legs.
He felt a tingling in his legs and not knowing what was happening he looked down in curiosity, what he saw surprised him.
From the water came black tentacles that were a dark colour from below the waist. I quickly counted eight. As the water in the pool calmed back down, I could see the tentacles all joined where my waist would have been and there were no legs or tail underneath me. Instead the tentacles were long enough and strong enough to hold my body out of the water to the waist then curl up again so the tips stuck out of the water.
