He shrugged and began walking upstairs. He caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror by the stairs and paused. On his forehead was a faint blue diamond marking. He rubbed at it trying to see if somehow he'd gotten ink on himself but it came off to no avail.
He was about to continue moing when he thought he'd seen in sparkle and was about to take another look when another strong surge of the same energy passed over him. His vision began to fade to blue and hecollapsed to his knee. He felt sore all over his body and had to lean against the wall for support. His vision became compeltely obscurred and he woke up on the floor.
Richard figured he'd must have blacked out, because the sun had moved to the opposite side of the house. He got up and looked in the mirror. What he saw shocked him.
Looking back in the mirror was a black animal face. He looked himself over. His clothes had been torn apart by his growth from his 13 year old self to what looked like a 20 year old and wel muscled skunk. He pinched himself on the arm with one of his clawed and furred hands to make sure he was awake. Sure enough he felt it. Richard felt a strong wave of wooziness come over him
