My parents are scientists, and they were making this chemical to cure a disease- some type of flu.  Well, they tested it and tested it on different animals.  These animals gained..." she said, trying to find the right word, "abilities.  The results were all consistent, so they tested it on me.  It worked."  The young woman set upright again and lifted her hand, creating a rough, leathery, scaly surface, like an alligator.  "This is what they have me.  I don't resent them or anything, it's pretty cool.

A boy I liked said he loved puppies.  Of course, being five and not knowing shape shifting isn't normal, I morphed my head into a dog's.  The kids flipped, and ran away, screaming 'Monster!'  I'm not a monster or anything, but I guess compared to the normal human I'm a little... abnormal," Helena chuckled, morphing her hand back.  "Alright, I'm done rambling, who's next?"
