I blinked my eyes again, hoping I was just seeing things.

Nope, those were my hands, all slimy and green and, well… froggy.

'This is all Bradston's fault!' I said to myself. 'If that little twerp hadn't told me to go search for some plant (which I questions even exists or not) then I would still be my handsome princely self.'

While I was sitting on the mushroom, I realized something… I was hungry and I didn't know where to find food.

As if on cue, a mosquito flew by my head.

My tongue flicked out of my mouth instinctively.

I decided this was probably going to be my dinner.

I sat as still as possible until the little bug flew by my head again. At the last possible moment and flicked my tongue through the air, catching the mosquito I drew my tongue back into my mouth.

I figured bugs would taste like dirt, but this bug tasted salty.

I decided to go off in search of more mosquitoes. I came across a beetle instead. Repeating the same movements I had used for catching the mosquito I caught the beetle. This one had a crunch and a pleasant mixture of sweet and sour.

Pleased with my findings, I hopped off in search of water. Eating had left me pretty thirsty.

After wandering around for hours I came across a small pond in the middle of a swamp. It looked like a nice place to go for a swim in so I dove right in.

Until I was swimming I hadn't realized how dry my skin had gotten. I made a mental note to myself to remember to always stay close to the water. I didn't know what would happen if I went without it for too long.

After a few days I got the hang of being a frog. I even became friends with other frogs.

Even though I was supposed to be cursed, life as a frog was pretty nice. Except for when your friends got eaten. That part I could have done without.

I made my home on a lily pad floating in the pond. It was nice, just the right size for me to sleep on without worrying about rolling on my dragonfly wing collection. (Oh that's another thing, I started collecting the wings off the dragonflies I had eaten. They sure were pretty.)

And so began my life as a frog.
