My name is Rachel.

And I was deep in this strange dream that seemed to involve me trying on
dresses at my favorite department store. Only the salesladies kept
bringing me things that were way, way too small.

So I said, "Hey, can't you tell these aren't my size?"

And the saleslady said, "Well, we don't have anything in your size."

"What?" I demanded. "You don't have anything in size three hundred and
twelve?"

Wait a minute, I thought. / don't wear size three hundred and twelve.
But at that moment I

2 caught sight of myself in the mirror. And I was in my elephant morph.

I was still growing. Bigger and bigger, till my massive bulk was
pressing people against the walls and floors and ceiling.

I looked down, and there, beneath one massive fold of elephant belly,
was a small figure in an orange hooded sweatshirt.

"Oh, my God! She killed Kenny!" someone cried.

"Aaaahhhh!" I screamed.

"Try Juniors on the second floor," the saleslady suggested. "Only please
don't use the elevator."

And then she leaped at me and started digging her fingernails into me.
They were really sharp. So I got mad and I shoved her. Only when I
shoved her, she suddenly wasn't a saleslady at all.

She was a bird.

"Aaahhh!" I yelled, sitting straight up.
