She tried to move her feet but they froze, mid-run, struggling to get away. Her toes dug deep into the damp dirt, spreading beneath the surface. She felt her legs stiffen. They cracked, her once smooth skin suddenly callused and rough. She felt her arms stretch above her head, wrapping around each other. She felt her hair wrap around her arms, forming vines that went to the tips of her fingers to meet the sweet smelling leaves. Her torso elongated and twisted around itself, stiffening and cracking like her legs and arms. She felt her fingers grow longer, thicker, more robust, spreading out above her. She felt a cool sensation run through her body as the shade of the leaves spread out over her head. She felt the touch of his hot hands as he tried to grab what was left of her, unable to reverse her transformation.
