What in the world is happening to you?! Where are you? Was it that path you took, the "wolf" path?
Running your tongue over your extra long canines once more, you suddenly shake your head, denying what you can't comprehend is happening.
Placing your hands on the ground, the sharp claws sinking into the soft earth, you quickly pull your legs under and get to you feet. You glance around, trying to find the path that brought you to the clearing, hoping you can leave before whatever was howling arrives. But the trees surrounding you seem unbroken. Fear and anxiety are swamping your senses and panic is urging you to flee, so you take a step towards the edge, no longer caring if there is a path or not.
But with that first step, you are instantly aware once again of the coarse hair that has sprung up all over your body, brushing against itself between your legs. You try to ignore it but a sudden cramping in your feet causes you to trip, your shoes flying off as you fall to your knees.
As you catch yourself on your hands, you notice that your palms feel much less sensitive, as if a puffy layer is protecting them from the grass and sharp bits of rock and twigs. Lifting one hand, you hold it up to the moonlight and are shocked to see thick, dark calluses growing at the top of your palm, which is thinning and lengthening as your watch! The heel of your hand is stretching back, dragging your thumb along, and you suddenly notice your digits are shrinking, the fingers shortening and growing dark pads as well!
Another twitch in your feet causes you to blink, switching focus from one extremity to the other. A tingling seems to start at your toes and race up your legs, popping at your knees and causing you to straighten them out a bit. You can't seem to bend them enough to kneel anymore! Blinking, you realize you butt is not as high in the air as it should be in such an awkward hands-and-feet position, and you notice that your thighs and shins are rapidly shrinking, while your foot stretches as your heel travels upwards. Your back is suddenly level and you are balanced on the balls of your feet and hands!
This CAN'T be happening! You have to get out of there!!
