Your mom leads you into the Reptile house. She is fascinated by the scaly ancient creatures on the other side
of the glass windows.
"Oh, isn't that snake magnificent. I wouldn't mind being a snake. Just lie around in the sun, and wait for a
dumb bunny to cross your path."
"You know dad's been gone a bit. I really should check on him," you say.
"Oh, I'm sure he's fine. But run along and check, I'll be seeing here admiring this beautiful specimen of God's
handiwork. See how she glides into the water? Oh, she should really be in a river, not confined to this
exhibit."
Mom's acting a bit weird too, but at least she hasn't sprouted claws. You go down the path your dad
disappeared down. You arm itches terribly, so you rollback your sleeve. Your arm is hairy and scaly, and your
fingers are growing incredibly long. You suspected your dad was turning into a bat, and you're his son, but
leathery scales? Mom! The reptile house! She's turning into a snake? And you're becoming a half bat half
snake half human? Too many halves! Find dad first. You start to run, but your feet hurt. You run faster.
