What if you woke up one morning, your entire body was green and sharp scales covered your skin. You hesitate to open your bedroom door while thinking "I am an alien lizard." Instead, you hide in your room all day, confused, scared, but somewhat amused as you look at your new body.
The day lasts an eternity. You feel suffocated by the walls around you, you can't leave your room. You then bang your fists against the wall and then lean up against it. You're stuck. You cling to the wall like spiderman. With a satisfying smirk on your face you proceed to climb the walls and ceiling of your bedroom. The feeling is overwhelming. You're a green-lizard-spiderman!
Nightfall approaches. You climb out your window and onto the roof where you look at the stars. You play with your scales, but cut yourself on the sharp edges. You bleed, the blood is still red; what a relief. You realize you cannot hide in your room forever;you must expose yourself to your family.
You believe your family would be understanding, but are clearly unsure about the rest of the world. After all, you are now a freak of nature. Do you expose yourself to the world showing your new abilities? You could become some science experiment and be completely dehumanized. Or do you spend your life hiding, looking for a way to reverse this new you.
