My Metamorphosis

I awake with a jolt. My eyes tried to open, but something felt off. Why couldn't I see? Wait, its just still dark outside, the sun hasn't risen yet. I try to fall back asleep but can't shake the feeling that something is not quite right. Maybe I just need some coffee, I think to myself, but as I start to roll out of bed I realize that I am doing just that, rolling. My mind is flooded with questions: When did my bed get so big? Why am I so hungry? Everything looks so big and scary. As a fall to the floor my mind finally registers what has happened. I have become a chihuahua. Panic sets in as I hunt for my own pet chihuahua. What if I have become him and he is gone forever? Luckily, moments later, he too tumbles out of bed, just like any other morning. 


I am completely at a loss for what to do so I decide to start of my morning like any other, maybe it will make things normal again. I scurry into the living room, my little claws clacking on the wooden floors. "Ah Chicken my queen!" my roomate says, picking me up. Damnit he thinks I'm our pet. As a open my mouth to shout out, I think for a moment and stop myself. My roomate is talking about making me breakfast? and I don't have to walk anywhere? Maybe I'll keep my mouth shut a while longer... 
My roomate makes me a little cocoon blanket on the couch and goes to make me breakfast. Instantly, I am once again filled with the fear that I am being watched. I try to look around but my eyes can't see much. Suddenly our cat comes up around me, slowly, like he was stalking his prey. My body involuntarily starts to shake and I am ready to admit defeat. But then he returns, with a dish full of food for me to devour and picks me up to safety. My ears perk up as I hear my name being called and I watch my roomate walk into my room. "Huh?" I hear and I realize that he has seen our real chihuahua. My mind races as I try to make excuses for my sudden transformation but the jig is up. He has pieced it all together and is now coming into the living room calling my name. I admit defeat and reply back, surprised how average my voice still is. The cat too is surprised and runs away in confusion. Unsure of how to continue our days, we decided to consult our other roommate. "AHHH TWO CHIHUAHUAS??!!" she says"Nope" I say, and she promptly falls to the floor in shock.
