I Don't Like What I See

"Why is it?" I thought to myself, "why is it that I can hear my own
heartbeat? Why can I hear people talking about my appearance?" I
couldn't see anything and I think someone had tied weights to my limbs because I couldn't move them. I could feel myself trying to move them but they wouldn't budge.

Then, I heard someone open a door that desperately needed to be
greased based on the ear piercing creaking sound it made as it was
being moved. I could hear footsteps clacking on the floor coming
towards me. I could even smell what I presumed to be a mix of cherry and lime scented perfume. "They were right. You're tiny!" I heard a voice say. I then felt something moving towards my mouth. I let out a deep breath and I heard the same voice screaming as loud as it could and kept repeating the phrase, "Oh my god! Put it out! Put it out! Please help! My skin is peeling off!" I heard the voice growing more quiet as it ran out of the room and made its way down the hallway.

At that moment, my breathing became faster and louder and my heartbeat was increasing so much, it was practically vibrating. A few moments later, my eyes had burst wide open and I sprang out of the bed. I dashed out of the room as fast as I could. However, I noticed that my legs seemed rather stubby and door handles seemed to be out of my reach. I also had a hard time keeping my balance as the vanilla white linoleum floors seemed like they were covered in layers of wax. On top of that, my nostrils were assaulted by the overwhelming stench of sanitizer. Sure, there were hints of lavender in that scent, but it still made me cough loudly and stung the inside of my nose. I had no choice but to put my hands over my mouth and nose if I didn't want to collapse to the ground.

I eventually found myself in what appeared to be a bathroom. Immediately upon entering, I knew something else was off. That chrome sink, how was I shorter than the sink? Sure, I wasn't the tallest person, but its angle for me was like the perspective from a dog or cat. I knocked over a grey plastic trash bin and jumped on top of it to reach the counter. When I looked into the mirror, my heart had instantly sunk and it seemed as though time had stopped.

There, in the mirror, I noticed that my skin was orange and my ears along with my hair were gone. My clothes were missing and I noticed that my stomach was a cream colour and it came up to my neck and acted as a border between my arms and legs. My fingers and toes were replaced with sharp, light grey claws and I had two little fangs that were visible, even when my mouth was closed. My eyes were a sea green type of colour and the shape of these eyes only formed half a circle shape. I still couldn't believe the sight before my eyes, even though it was staring me in the face. As I leaned closer into the mirror, I caught sight of something bright glowing behind me. The sight startled me, almost costing my balance on the sink. I fell back against the mirror. To my surprise, I realized the light was coming from a tail - my tail. I had a tail?

At the sight of my appearance, I curled up into a ball and started
sobbing loudly. The only question I had about the whole situation was "What went wrong?"
