Time to get prehistoric!
You first notice the feathers on your forearms. At first, you think they are developing into wings, but they stop after only extending about nine inches.
You only feel a tingling sensation as your pinkies and ring fingers shrink into your hands and your other fingers move over and enlarge to compensate. On your remaining fingers, your nails extend and enlarge into claws.
More feathers develop all over your body. Your chest barrels out and your breasts shrink into your torso. You feel your skin itching as it turns into scales.
You are glad that you are sitting down, because your legs are next to change. Like your fingernails, your toenails grow into claws, most notably a large sickle-shaped claw on your second toe, which rips apart your shoes. Your pinky toes shrink away, and your big toes move up your feet, shrinking into dewclaws. As this is happening, your legs and feet shift into a digitigrade form.
You feel that your shirt is becoming a problem, so you quickly rip it off with your claws. You are about to kick your pants off too, but they are ripped to pieces by your spine extending into a stiff tail, which soon blossoms with feathers, especially on the end.
You try and stand up. The new appendage means you have to bend over to balance it out. It feels strangely natural to stand like this.
The changes work your way to your neck as it extends and takes on the shape of an S. Your head is the last to change as your nose and mouth merge into a muzzle. Your ears shrink until they become simple holes in your head. Your teeth fall out, steadily being replaced by a maw full of razor-sharp, backwards-pointing teeth. You blink, unaware that when you open your eyes, your pupils have narrowed into slits and each eye now has a third, diagonal eyelid (like modern-day birds of prey). The changes to your head are completed when your hair is replaced with feathers.
As you look over your new body, you realize that you have grown. You are now as tall as a full-grown man and as long as a hatchback from snout-to-tail. You wonder what you are now. The name Utahraptor pops into your head.
You realize that you were so occupied with your transformation that you didn't realize your surroundings have changed. The tree you sat under is still there, but everything else is gone, replaced with a wooded valley with no signs of civilization in sight. You can hear a river running in the distance in one direction and you see that the ground slopes into a hill in the other.
Where do you go now?
