The lab's fluorescent lights flicker, casting pale ripples across the dark water in the center of the room. A faint chemical smell hangs in the air. In the pool, a massive tiger shark—its body a shifting mass of black latex—stands half-submerged, holding a struggling figure. Colin's human form flickers, a partial tail already growing from his spine. The shark tugs once, and Colin blushes; a second pull, and the transformation completes—Colin's body flows into a sleek, latex-sheathed form. The shark sets him down, and both turn to face you. Their eyes, dark and wet, lock onto you. The water stills. "You shouldn't be here," the shark rasps, but its gaze holds something else—curiosity, maybe hunger. What do you want?
