Huh?! W-Wait, urk, what just happened just now?
That dream The pain, the cold, the darkness. Why would I have such a nightmare? Did I watch one or two too many of those horror flicks yesterday? Did I even watch them at all? I cant rember Actually, now that I think about it, was I sleeping in the first place?
Argh, whatever. Lets go to the kitchen and get a muffin or sothing sweet. I need to reset my ntal after that shit
Why is everything still dark?
I blinked, or at least, I thought I was blinking. I felt my eyelids opening and closing but due to how dark everything was, I was starting to question myself. It felt like deja vu, as if I was still having that nightmare. So I blinked harder, so hard that I irritated my eyes. Despite all my best efforts, there was still no light. How could it be completely dark?!
My phone!
If I was just asleep, then my phone had to be sowhere close by. I probably fell asleep listening to music and dropped my earbuds, but if I could just find my mobile, Ill be able to turn so light on. I just have to move my arms or legs around.
Stretching my arms around, my muscles began to complain of being stiff. Still, what worried the most was how there was resistance when I tried to move them. Sothing liquidy was there. It slowed down like walking underwater.
Once I raised my arms a bit more, the feeling of that warm liquid was replaced by a sense of freedom. When I tried to touch my hands, I felt sothing sticky and smooth on them and as I tried to sll it, my head just flinched back from how weird it slled.
Please, dont tell that I had an accident in bed. That nightmare was scary enough, but it shouldnt have made wet myself, right?! I-It was just cleaned! The bed sheets slled so good!
My arms reflexively slamd my bed in frustration, only for so mysterious fluid to splash into my mouth. My gack effect activated for a second, but for so weird, insane reason, it actually tasted pretty good!
Is this sticky liquid maybe yogurt?
That thought cald down. Maybe I spilled so yogurt when I fell asleep, but even if that were the case, Mama probably will scold since we just had the bed sheets cleaned. And my muscle soreness probably ca from my dance training, and I laid on my arms when night ca. Yeah, that seed the most plausible!
I am under my bed sheets, definitely. I just have to pull them what are my nails scratching?
I felt my nails touching sothing hard. From the sound of it, it felt like scratching eggshells. I beca curious at what it was so I placed so strength into my hands, but it wouldnt budge at all.
As my curiosity took over, my mind focused entirely on that hard surface, ignoring the other weird things happening around . It was then that I felt sothing inside my chest moving through my arms into my hands. Sothing inside , like a gut feeling, told to continue scratching with this energy.
What is this feeling? It feels so weird but also nat Oops!
Preoccupied by that feeling, a cracking sound echoed inside my room. I couldnt exactly see what was going on, but from the feeling around one of my fingers, I presu I had pierced through the wall, making a hole.
O-Oh no, s-scheie!
As I slowly took my finger out from the, the continued cracking sounds told I had to start accepting my fate that Papa will 100% scold for breaking the wall sohow, with my ager amounts of arm muscles. Oh man, waking up from a nightmare was already ntally taxing but now I would have to listen to a demoralizing lecture? Woe to .
As I was silently hoping that Papa wouldnt be too harsh to when I explained my situation to him, my eyes noticed that the wall I pierced was colored white Which didnt make sense as I had my room colored blue.
Wait, hold on, color?!
Looking down, my eyes registered light coming out of the hole my fingers were just in a second ago. As I reached out my hand in bewildernt, I began to hear popping and squishy sounds coming from below .
What I saw down there was the reason why I felt it so hard to move around. I was swimming around in a viscous, slimy, translucent fluid warm to the touch. It looked far too similar to snot. It was absolutely revolution, and I was inside it for so effing reason!
Why am I Guff! Gack! Gack! Yuck!!! Ahhhh, why does this actually taste good, what the fuck?!
More of the liquid splashed into my mouth when I tried to escape this slimy hell, motivating through disgust to widen that hole. I banged my body against the wall, but noticed nothing happening. The pain from ramming myself against it helped calm myself down a bit, where I rembered how I managed to pierce a hole in the first place.
I took a deep breath, ignoring the sli around for now. I placed my fingers on the edges of the hole and began imagining that power again. I breathed in and out, trying to find that sensation in my chest, and the mont I did, that gut feeling appeared again. It supported , showing how to let this energy course my body.
I closed my eyes, I called up all the strength in my arms and began tearing the wall down. Slowly but surely, the cracking beca louder and louder, and I could feel warmth coming inside the room. Even with my eyes closed, I could see light through them. It gave the confidence to continue until I burst out of the room and was greeted by the warm rays of the morning.
As I fell to the ground, the fluids gushed out with , drenching not only but everything else around . I had a deep wish to get under a shower at this very instant.
Regardless, I stayed in that pool of whatever liquid. For I was currently enjoying a sunbath, so much so that I didnt have the willpower to stand up.
Whoooooew Did the sun always feel this great? Relaxing like this is, seriously, so fucking good. Whooo Grk! Bleh! Not again, this damn liquid keeps getting in my mouth!
I forced myself up after that nasty surprise. The lethargy my body felt was gone, fully invigorated by enjoying the rays. Nevertheless, as nice as that was, the situation didnt allow to just rest at this point. After all, where the fuck was I at this mont?
Looking around, all I could see was green and brown, similar to Central Park, but also not. The trees towered , like, they were humongous, far taller than my mories indicated. The vibrant grass I was standing on was almost eye level, and a piece of leaf falling down the trees from a gust of wind landed softly on , covering my head completely.
How?
With the sun rays showering the area, this whole place looked absolutely magical, until I realized a leaf was able to cover up my entire line of sight. A single piece of leaf. Yeah, sounds crazy since Im used to shaking off a single leaf from the top of my hair whenever I visit the park, so having such a thought was wild.
No, no, forget about this. Y-Yeah, maybe it was sothing like a palm leaf, yeah, that makes sense! But this looks like a forest Nope, nope, forgotten all about it. Lalalalala~
My goal should be to find my parents. Yes, maybe I was stupid enough to fall asleep at a park after getting rejected again at a audition. I need to give them a call and get back ho imdiately before they call the cops. The last thing I needed was sobody I know seeing covered in all this sli that would be the worst!
I took a breath and began searching for my phone, only to imdiately freeze up the mont I turned around.
Its an egg.
A broken egg, to be more specific. Its quite massive, too. Im not exaggerating. From my perspective, it was as large as a small house and I could see a large enough hole in it. Looking at the eggshells mixed in with that weird liquid, the evidence of my actual situation was right under my nose.
Denial. I wanted to deny all of this. I was inside that thing? Ridiculous! Why would I willingly go into a giant egg for any reason? I had to forget about it. I need to call my parents. I need to go back ho.
However, the surprises continued.
When I tried to run away from this place, I slipped on the mysterious liquid and fell on my stomach. Even more of that damn liquid entered my mouth, to the point it felt like I drank a glass full.
I forcibly pushed myself back up but placed too much strength in them, tumbling over myself and landing on my back. And that was when I saw it.
A tail.
A black tail with shimring, jet-black scales. When I raised my head, I saw this tail attached to my butt alongside two small legs eerily similar to lizard feet. None of them had bare, naked pink skin. No hint of any clothes, either. From my butt to my legs, all of them had the sa glossy scales on the tail.
This should have been quite embarrassing. I an, I was naked, inside a park. Until my eyes widened in the horror of my next thought.
Oh great, I thought I had stopped dreaming, but I guess this is part two. Ha ha ha ha ha
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Oh, co on, what the hell is this? First, I wake up in so giant egg in so park or whatever, and now I have a tail? With scales!? WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES! WHY AM I NAKED! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH !
I waddled in the mysterious fluid like a toddler giving a tantrum. At this point, I didnt care how much of this fluid entered my stomach. I was going insane. I had to be still dreaming!
Okay, okay, I shouldnt panic, this could all be in my head. Everything could be an illusion.
Breathing in deeply and then back out, I cald myself down for a split second until I noticed that my nails were a bit longer than usualand sharper.
I need a mirror.
I jumped up. Every step I took felt awkward with these weird lizard feet, but I wasnt slipping and tripping around anymore as I took it slow. It was progress, but progress I wished I hadnt learned.
I looked at my surroundings, ignoring the absurdity of everything just to find sothing that could reflect stuff. When I found a small puddle in the middle of this grassy place, I ran over there, trying my best to coordinate four legs.
Oh right, have I ntioned I had four legs instead of two? Yeah, that warranted a ntion but I was screaming around so much that I found it unnecessary to repeat everything again. But in the depths of my soul I was screaming. I was screaming nonstop for all of this to end.
Once there, I placed my head over the puddle of water, telling myself to be brave and just open my eyes. I reassured myself that it was all a dream and that this was probably just so cosplay or the sudden progression of VR, to the point everything felt real.
Okay, lets get it over with Why am I a lizard?
The image was unclear, but I could see a lizards face covered in black scales on it. There was no hair or outer ear, but I could see tiny knife-like teeth as I held my mouth agape from surprise. Yup, the hope I built up was once again destroyed.
Kriiiiiiiah!
Oh, just woooonderful. My panicked cries of absolute panic sounded exactly like the ones I heard lizards make during those animal docuntaries. I could imagine it now lizard wakes up to find out shes a lizard and lets out a pathetic cry. Ferocious. Brilliant title.
The chance of this being a dream was now 100%, right? Cause if it werent, then this ans this wasnt a dream, but reality. I wasnt enjoying a peaceful sleep on my soft bed. This wasnt a dream. This also couldnt be VR and with those options thrown out the window, the last one I had was
Did I die?
NO! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Stupid! Stupid thoughts!
Why the hell was that even a thought?! it was insane, if you ask ! A sane person should not assu that she just died when sothing weird happens! Thats just crazy, without any evidence.
But, what if it was the truth?
I do enjoy reading fiction, and so of those novels had portal fantasy or reincarnation into a new world as a the. You die on Earth and are then reborn into an entirely new world, where you inherit your mories from your past life.
Dying and then being transferred into another world was absurd, since it couldnt be real. Its fiction for a reason. However, if I looked at it through that perspective, it would rationalize all the crazy stuff around . The fact that Im a newborn lizard with all this information on reincarnation novels was kinda proof to this very idea.
But, then, how did I die? I couldnt recall anything. My mind felt hazy, as if I was missing sothing. If the thought of reincarnation should be put into consideration, then what about so mad scientist kidnapping and turning into a lizard from one of their experints? It was equally crazy, but at least not morbid.
Ha ha ha ha, ahhhhhhhhh! I scread internally this ti just so I could avoid hearing that lizard-like scream again.
Either way, I needed to distract myself by doing sothing. Anything. I felt light-minded the more I thought about this, so I decided it was better to not build up even more stress by staying optimistic.
I did not die.
I had to stay composed. Whether this was a dream or not, the situation was dire. I had no phone, my parents werent around nor my nanny, and I was imnsely confused. I needed to assess my situation. Negativity will just cloud my judgnt.
That's when I heard sothing approaching from behind.
I turned around, noticing two individuals. Compared to the trees, they were around the size of small children but fully covered in fur. They were wearing nothing but a loincloth and had a thick tree branch in their hands. They eyed and began to drool.
Grouu!
I should probably run now.
