Bobby woke up feeling cold. His eyes seemed to domed his view of the room. Everything seemed bigger. Even bigger than when Bobby was a cat. Bobby could barely remember what being a cat was like. His mind could barely hold memories. Bobby just remembered that he was once human. He also noticed that he was hungry. He crawled over the sheets, and tried to make it to the next set of ripples. Bobby was so light that the ripples in the sheets barely sunk under him when he stepped on them.
Sometimes he'd hop from one set of ripples to the other. Bobby then stopped for a bit. He didn't feel tired or drained, he just felt like being still. He passed the stillness by letting his eyes follow a fly. The second the fly was close enough to Bobby, he jumped and stuck his tongue out in mid-air, quickly devouring the creature.
Bobby landed oddly, and the blanket started to shift, pulling him off the bed.
'Ribbit." Bobby said in disgust.
A few minutes Marla came into the room.
"So Bobby, did you turn into a handsome millionaire?" she said jokingly.
'Ribbit.' Tommy said at the side of his bed. 'Ribbit.'
Marla looked down and saw the frog look up at her. She let out a nasty shriek and slammed the door. Marla must have been afraid of frogs. But Tommy's mind could barely register that right now. All he new is that he wanted to stay still, until he didn't. He hopped around the floor, using his back legs to his advantage. His body felt that this was only temporary, and he wanted to get the most out of it.
Unfortunately, Bobby would never get that chance, as Marla was too scared of what he had become, that she wouldn't have dropped him in the tub, or even the sink or a pale of water.
'Ribbit.' croaked Bobby with some disappointment.
The rest of the day was uneventful.
Soon night came and it got colder, and Bobby crawled under a piece of the blanket that fell over the side of the bed.
