Predator

My name is Morgan, and darkness surrounds me, yet somehow, I can see.

I can see everything around me, from the pale sand swirling beneath my body to the shadows cast by those massive reefs in the distance.

I shouldn't be able to see so clearly in this place, under the water, but my eyes... these eyes that are no longer mine.

I try to move, but everything feels strange. My body responds in ways I don't understand.

I turn my head, and I see it: a long, slender tail, covered in black scales that glisten faintly.

I have arms... no... I have fins, and they're black. I no longer have legs... and there's this tail that moves as if it's always been a part of me, yet it's completely foreign. It's... strange.

I look closer at my body. It's slender, elongated, and entirely covered in black scales.

I try to remember what it felt like to have human skin, but now all I feel is this strange coldness, this weight in every movement.

The scales are black, like onyx, reflecting the scant light that penetrates this dark abyss.

I can't see my face, but my silhouette... it's no longer human. I am something else now, a creature of the sea. But it's not a common fish; it's more like a sea serpent, or perhaps a dragon.

I don't know, but what I do know is that this body isn't mine, it's not what it should be.

It can't be... no, it can't be. Have I become a... fish?

Panic grips me. I'm no longer human, I'm... something else. I try to move, to swim, and I do so instinctively, as if I've always known how. But the terror doesn't fade.

What am I now?

Suddenly, a sound reverberates through the water. Something big, very big, is nearby.

Instinctively, I slip into a crevice in a reef, my new body moving with an agility it shouldn't have.

I hide in the shadows, watching with these damned new eyes. And then I see it: a gigantic beast, swimming swiftly, so massive it seems unreal.

But the worst is yet to come. An even more colossal creature emerges from the depths, something I can't compare to anything I've ever seen on Earth.

It's like a living mountain, devouring the first beast in an instant, with a voracity I've only seen in the worst nature documentaries. But this... this is worse.

I've never seen anything like it, it's... like a nightmare come to life.

Finally, after what feels like an eternity, the creature leaves, leaving only a trail of blood in the water.

I can't believe what I just saw, but I have to move. I have to survive.

I look at my body again. I'm a sea creature, but not just any sea creature. Something about me is different, strange, yet terrifyingly powerful.

This body is agile, fast, designed for this hostile environment. But... why? How did I get here?

I don't know, but what I do know is that I have to keep moving, I have to find a safe place before another monster discovers me.

This is not my world at all, and if I want to survive, I'll have to adapt to this new body, to this new reality.

(I'm doing this to see if they like it. )
