As Jeremy was opening the curtains, I sat on the bed, and began to wonder what was happening. Jeremy was acting really strangely, talking about the moonlight and such. I had seen a few of those old horror movies, and it wouldn’t have been crazy to say that Jeremy was acting like a vampire, or maybe a werewolf. As if the nighttime was peak hours for the boy.
I could see the full moon rising through the window, and I began to hear soft whispers coming from Jeremy as he experienced the moon rise in front of him.
“Yes… yes… it’s happening… oh, yes…”
The t-shirt that Jeremy was wearing looked big on him when I walked into the door. The sleeves nearly reached his elbows, and the tail covered the waistband of his shorts. But now, the sleeves came up a few inches from the elbow, revealing smooth and slightly toned biceps. And the tail of the shirt rose slightly above the waist of his shorts.
His shorts reached his knees before, but now were closer to mid-thigh, and much tighter. At first, I thought his clothes were getting smaller.
But then, Jeremy began to raise his hands towards his head, and I realized that it was his body that was changing. He ran his hands through the curls of his mop of blond hair. He turned around, and his face was smooth and unblemished. His eyes were still closed, and he continued to moan in approval of his transformation.
“Yes, perfect, I feel great… oh, yes!”
I don’t know why, but I stood up. Maybe I was afraid, and I thought I could get away. Maybe I was intrigued, and wanted to see what would happen next. Maybe I was merely curious to see if he was taller than me. It turned out that Jeremy was exactly my height.
And he was beautiful. I’m straight, and have never been ‘curious’, but Jeremy was the kind of boy you might find in a magazine ad. Perfect hair, perfect skin, not too muscular but not fat or skinny either.
Then Jeremy opened his eyes. Crystal clear and blue. Were his eyes blue before? I couldn’t remember. At that moment I was no longer afraid of Jeremy… in fact, you might even say I had become a little curious…
