3. He stood at 4'4" in height and weighed about 65 pounds.
4. Ethan had straight, dark brown hair that he often kept short and unkempt.
5. He had deep blue eyes that held an innocent, curious look.
6. Belonging to the white race, Ethan’s pale skin easily reddened under the sun.
7. His mother, Miranda, was a youthful 26-year-old woman.

16. The year was 2019, and the night had crept in faster than usual, making the surroundings look different and unfamiliar.
17. His feet shuffled along the sidewalk, and he started feeling the tug of anxiety.

25. His toenails turned a glossy crimson.
26. “Nooooooo mommy, help me get them off! I don't wanna be a girl!” Ethan screamed as he started transforming.
