Darkness...
It's been a while since I regained consciousness and since then I'm in total darkness.
To be more precise, I can neither see nor move.
I don’t know what's happening to me, but I must not panic.
First, I must understand how I end up in this situation then think of a way out of here.
Well, let's think about it...
I remember that I was finalizing the preparation of this very important meeting. I've been working on it day and night for days to make everything perfect ...
I remember that I was particularly tired even if it was only early in the evening, so I took anti-sleep pills in order to finish my work...
I remember... This horrible pain I felt in my chest ...
Does this mean that I died?
I'm dead and... Buried? That's why I can’t see or move?
“Where am I? Why can’t I see anything?”, said a female voice suddenly.
I'm not alone here?
“Who is there?”, I said.
“A... A man? Don’t tell me you're an old pervert who kidnapped me? Release me or I'll call the police!”.
Seriously? What's wrong with this girl...
“Calm down! I am neither an old man nor a pervert... I am in the same situation as you, I can neither see nor move...”, I said.
“Rea... Really? In this case where are we? How did I end up here? “.
I don’t want to shock her, but I must find out if we are in the same situation.
“I think... We are dead. Try to remember the last thing you did before being here.”, I said.

“Dead?! I remember... It was in the evening... I was shopping to prepare dinner for my family... A car... An accident... No way! Am I really dead? Dad, mom, little brother… I will never see them again... I... I...”.
Now she starts to cry... Well, I can’t really blame her.
I now have confirmation that we are both dead, at least supposed to be dead. I can’t imagine that we can think or discuss with other people once dead...
“Hold on! If I'm dead, why can I talk to you? You wouldn’t be making a joke on hidden camera by chance?”, she asked.
…
“Do you seriously think I have nothing better to do?”, I said, irritated.
“It's true that at the sound of your voice, you seem to be old... This kind of joke would be rather the work of kids... By the way, my name is Amelia and you?”.
“I'm not old, I'm only twenty-five! And you can call me Kyle.”.
"Twenty-five is old! I am... I was only eighteen. I was far too young to die. Why is it…” …
Suddenly, a ray of light enters the darkness.
Several cracks are forming around me ...
CRACK CRACK
It seems like I was locked inside something and that thing is breaking down.
I'm trying to move... I can now control my body!
“Kyle, what's going on? Do you see the same thing as me?”, asked Amelia.
I don’t take the time to answer her and try to get me out of this place ...
Success! I’m finally free!
However, I discover that I am in what I think is... a cave!
A gigantic cave.
Around me, I can see many stalagmites. Above me, many stalactites. Not very far, I see a light that illuminates a big part of the cave, probably the exit.
What is this place? How did I end up here? Furthermore, I don’t feel like I’m dead…
“Uh... Kyle? I think I have a little problem...”.
“What’s happening to you?”.
What can be worse than being in the middle of a cave?
Besides, where is she? I didn’t see anyone around me...
“I... my body... I’ve become... A dragon!”, she said.
What is she saying? A dragon?
I knew she was a little crazy but not that bad...
But it’s true that I don't feel my body in the same way as before... So, in doubt, I check it...
WHAT THE HELL??
My body is small, completely white, furthermore I'm a quadruped! I even have claws and a tail. But there is worse... I have two heads!
I can’t see my own head, but the one to my left is really scary.
“What's happening to me? Why did I become a dragon?”, I said panicked.
“You are a dragon too? Can you move your body? I feel like I can only move my head...”, asked Amelia.
What?
I have no problem to move my body... Except my second head.
Don’t tell me...
“Amelia, try to... shake your head up and down...”, I said.
My second head then starts to move up and down.
NO WAY!!
I must calm down… It’s not enough to be certain. I must try something else.
“I will move forward and backward. Tell me if your body does the same.”.
I take a few steps forward and then return to my original position.
“Yes, it moved! But it wasn’t me who made these movements... What's happening to me?”, she answered.
It's certain now!
Not only I’ve become a dragon, but I must also share my new body with someone else...
