After that, the change was complete

Lon sat at the desk, smoking a cigarette. He was worried. Beads of sweat ran down his forehead, his dark hair frayed, damp with sweat. A lamp sitting on the desk was the only source of light in the room, except a square of moonlight on the floor where the moon was shining through the window.

He was too afraid to look out the window, scared of what he knew was inevitable. From the pocket of his white button down shirt, he produced a small handkerchief, which he wiped his face with. Another drag from his cigarette and he placed it on a glass ash tray, still burning.

Slowly he stood and walked to the only door in the room. The door had been locked for hours now, but panic and fear had corroded Lon's memory of locking the door. He wasn't sure if he had locked it or not. He worried too much, had to double check.

Scratches ran down the center of the door. They were deep, whole chunks of wood were missing. The scratches only reminded Lon of the terrors from previous nights, very similar to this night.

After double checking the locks on the door he returned to his seat at the desk. His heart was racing, he could hear it pounding against his ribs. The cigarette was still burning, so he picked it up, killed it with one drag, and dropped the butt back into the ash tray.

He became hot, his face was burning, his heart beating even faster than before. Then hair began to grow from is arms, spreading down to his hands. His finger nails grew into claws. Bones throughout his body were shifting, extending and getting shorter, completely changing the structure of his body.

His brown dress pants ripped and tore, making room for his legs, which were getting thicker and hairier. Lon's whole body was covered in dark brown hair. His body twisted and convulsed, transforming him while he screamed out in agony. His face was the last to change. He felt his teeth shift position, getting longer and sharper. His jaw bone popped forward, jutting out to make room for the teeth. His whole face became covered in hair. After that, the change was complete.
