Where's Tom?

No idea. I got him one of those Transformation-For-A-Day packs and he wanted to try it out.

Oh? I've read about them. They're pretty expensive. What species did you get?

I didn't know what to get him, so I got a mystery box. He could have turned into just about anything.

And you haven't seen him since? Aren't you worried?

Not really. I told him to go outside and do it because I didn't want him turning into an elephant or something and destroying the place. When I went to see, he'd already done it and was gone. He's probably off down the park having a great time.

Is this the box it came in? That name doesn't look right. Where'd you get it?

I got it on the internet from some site that had them on special. I can't remember what it was called.

Well, I don't think this is genuine. I hear those fake brands can leave people messed up... stuck as a mix of human and whatever they were supposed to be. They say if you end up that want and you don't get treatment before the 24 hours is up, you can't change back. You really should find him and check if he's alright.

Yeah, you're probably right. I'll head down to the park. He might be there...


Earlier: It took Tom a few moments for get his bearings. Nothing looked right. Everything looked segmented and strange. He felt small and strange. He could still move his fingers and toes, so he couldn't have changed that much, but there were other things. He could feel the movement of the air, and he seems stuck in a crawling position. Then he felt it. It was an explosion. The ground shook and the air rushed passed him. He looked to where it came from and... Wait, was that a shoe? Just how small was he?!?
