The last thing James remembered was the blinding light of the oncoming truck. He was out for a morning jog, lost in thought, when he stepped onto the street and was hit. The next thing he knew, he was no longer human.
He opened his eyes and was momentarily disoriented. Everything looked so different now, so much bigger and more colorful. He tried to stand up and realized he no longer had arms and legs. He was covered in shimmering green scales, and his body was much longer than it had been before.
With a start, he realized what he had become: a dragon.
James was stunned. He had always loved dragons as a child, but he had never expected to become one. He had so many questions, but he didn't even know how to speak anymore. He tried to make a noise, but all that came out was a low growl.
As he looked around, he realized that he was in a city park. People were running and playing, completely unaware of the dragon in their midst. James knew he needed to get away, to figure out what had happened to him.
With a powerful leap, James took to the sky. He was amazed at how easy it was to fly, how the air rushed over his wings. He soared higher and higher, gaining speed and distance, until he was far from the city.
Finally, James landed on a mountaintop. He surveyed the landscape, trying to make sense of his new reality. He had so many questions: how had he become a dragon? What was he supposed to do now? And perhaps most importantly, was he the only one?
As he lay on the mountaintop, James began to feel a sense of peace. He realized that he had been given a second chance at life, and that he had the opportunity to explore a world that he had only ever imagined before. He had no idea what adventures awaited him, but he was excited to find out.
And so began James' new life as a dragon. He had no idea what the future held, but he was ready to face it head-on.
