Story: Once upon a time, in Anchorage, the icy city of Alaska, lived a 6-year-old boy named Eli. Eli was a normal, perky little boy for his age, standing 3 ft 8 inches tall, adorned in his favorite sky-blue pullover and faded jeans. His mischievous chocolate brown eyes radiated liveliness, while his voice was a high-pitched tale of innocence and sweet curiosity. One day, Eli found an amulet during his scavenging ventures in the backyard. The amulet was old and mystic, encrusted with strange carvings. Unbeknownst to him, the moment he put it around his neck, his destiny was re-written. Eli was inside rummaging through the cookie jar when he felt his skin hardened. He shrank in size, slowly inching down from his 3 foot eight stature. His clothes hung loose as his body transformed. His human voice echoed with a low growl that descends to the threatening hiss of his new form. Eli was morphing into a Komodo dragon; a creature feared due to its strong predatory instincts, deadly saliva, and sharp claws. The six-year-old boy was no longer a boy but a male juvenile Komodo of two years. He caught his reflection in the mirror. His once brown eyes now glowed a dangerous yellow, his skin was layered with rough scales, and his once toothy but charming smile had been replaced with a row of sharp reptilian teeth. He wanted to call his mother, but all that came out was a guttural, animalistic sound. His human mind was slipping away, taken over by the instinctual thoughts of a predator. Memories of his past life blurred and diluted until they no longer existed. Finally confronted by his mother, he saw not the woman who nurtured him with love but an intruder in his territory. His response was deafening - a terrifying growl. His mother froze, paralyzed by fear, tears glistening in her eyes. Eli, or rather the dragon he had become, spread his jaws wide in a show of power. It attacked unyieldingly, his mother's screams echoing throughout their cold Alaskan home. Unseen by human eyes, the old amulet around Eli’s neck glowed with an eerie light. Its curse was activated: the innocence of a child replaced by the savage instincts of an untamed beast.
