Behold the Hippopotamus

... a hippopotamus! The lower half of your face has already pushed forward into a broad, shovel-like muzzle. Your neck bulges out until it is bigger around than your head. All the while your skin is changing color, becoming a dark purplish brown.

Suddenly, searing bolts of pain shoot through your cranium as your eyes and ears inch their ways up to the top of your head. You open your mouth to scream -- and feel your jaws open wider than you ever thought possible. Your scream comes out as a deafening bellow that shakes the very walls.

With every passing second it is becoming more difficult to stand, and you drop forward onto your hands (feet?). Somehow you manage to twist your head around far enough to examine yourself. Your body is rapidly swelling into a huge ponderous cylinder.

Only then do you realize what an impossible situation you're in. If you stay inside, you'll soon be crashing through the walls -- maybe even the floor. But if you run outside, you're sure to cause a panic.
