Your Metamorphosis

"When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous insect;" such is the opening line of Kafka's "Metamorphosis."  (Speaking of Kafka, did any of you notice that this is the name of Arnold Joseph's dog in Smoke Signals? I haven't yet arrived at a conclusion for this).  Anyway, I mentioned to you that along with Kafka's work, you would be creating your own "Metamorphosis;" however, you will not be transforming into a bug.  What you transform into is up to you. 


As usual, you need to write at least three hundred words that demonstrate quality writing conventions.  I also want to remind you that this is a narrative work, so you will want to make sure that you include the appropriate elements.
