Metamorphosis

I was jarred awake in the morning by my alarm.  I blindly flung myself off of my lofted bed hoping that I would land on my chair.  I fell really fast and even though my foot hit the chair my muscles didn't want to agree with me. I fell on the chair hard and it broke underneath me.  I let my head bounce off of my floor and closed my eyes, not completely surprised that my chair broke.  Noticing that my alarm was still going I gave a shove to get up and hit my alarm to get it to stop.  It was then that I noticed that something was wrong....

I hit my head off of the bottom of my bed and when I opened my eyes, my alarm clock was lying in pieces on my desk.  Surprised by that, I looked at my hands.  I had two massive furry paws with big claws.  I looked at the rest of my body and my legs were also like this.  I dropped to all fours because it was significantly more comfortable than trying to balance on my hind legs.  It would appear as though I was a big bear.  I was extremely confused so I looked over to my roommate.  He had sprung up when I cam crashing to the floor. Then he just plopped his head back down into his pillow.  This happened before when he thought it was a dream.  I didn't blame him, I even thought I was dreaming.  I had to figure this out....

It was seven in the morning and I had gotten up in order to move my car and avoid a ticket.  Even if it was a dream, I didn't want to take the chance of getting a ticket.  I decided I was going to try to move my car, because if it was a dream it wouldn't matter anyway.  I needed my keys and my id so I could get back into my dorm.  The keys were easy because I could just bite the ring and have it hanging from my mouth.  The id was the troublesome part.  I decided to just grab that with my teeth too because I felt like I was running out of time to move my car. It was really unfortunate that my clock was broken, otherwise I would have been able to check the time.  I make it out of my room after a few tries.  Then all of the doors to go outside I just had to push so I just lumbered outside and to my car.

I had gotten to the point I hadn't thought of yet. Now I was in public. I was a bear, on a college campus, in Burlington, trying to move a car.  All of the traffic stopped as I walked out of the road to get to the driver's seat.  I had left it unlocked so I didn't have to mess with the key.  My car is pretty much already falling apart, and now I have bear strength.  I was hesitant because I didn't want to tear my door clean off.  Then I realized that I was just about as big as my car. I wouldn't even fit into it if I could get the door open.  I doubt I would ever be able to get the key into the ignition.  The thing was, I didn't want to get a ticket....  How was I going to stop them from giving me a ticket while staying alive.  At this point I gave up thinking it could be a dream because I was doing a lot of thinking and I hadn't woken up yet.  Added on people had probably already called the cops or something to report siting me.  I decided to get out of the road and laid down on the curb on the passenger side of my car to hide from the traffic.  I had to come up with something to do, and then I heard the sirens....
