"Exposure to the rays of the green sun mutates people into bird," explained the reporter, who was safe inside a studio. "Our reporters have confirmed this through ... firsthand experience."
A blonde reporter with a microphone appeared on the screen beneath the words "Earlier This Morning." She pointed up at the purple sun with her free hand. Her skin appeared to be purple, but that was because of the unusual light. Her fingers fused together, causing her to drop her microphone and stared at her rapidly swelling hands. Feathers began to grow over her arms, and swelled and expanded into giant wings which ran the length of her torso. Her golden hair morphed into a crestlike series of yellow feathers. Her mouth and nose fused into a beek, and her feet exploded out of her shoes
"AWK!!!" The microphone picked up from the bird-woman.
Her crew had apparently undergone similar transformations. They had dropped their equipment on the ground. A fallen camera continued to film a set of thin legs with large feet until they moved out of view.
Jon couldn't see her, but he wondered what she looked like when it was all done.
"What are we going to do?" asked Jon's father Mark Madison. "We can't hide in here forever. There's enough in the refrigerator to last us ..." Mark looked at his wife.
"One day," stated Linda Madison. "I was supposed to go shopping today! But if I leave, I'll ... change ..."
Jon ran up the stairs back to his bedroom. If the stone somehow changed the world, he thought, maybe it can change it back!
