Writer Wednesday #6.2: Strange Picture Prompt

On my blog, I am doing a new 'event' called Writer Wednesdays. I post a prompt and others(including me) write something based on that prompt.

            A weird thing happened the other day.  I noticed my skin getting rougher and that it had taken on a strange hue.  When I flexed my fingers, they felt stiff and crackled.

            The next day I found it harder to walk, my feet sinking deeper in the mud with each step.  The same occurred to those around me.  That night my hair seemed to have taken on a strangely yellow hue.  When I lay down to sleep, tree branches scratched at my window, keeping me awake.

            The following day I was stiff that I found it hard to climb out of bed.  My skin had grown even rougher and was covered in strange swirling patterns.  After trying to trudge through the mud I finally gave up, my feet sinking into the soil.

            And today I many others like me.  Strange creatures walked around clumsily, watering the ground around our feet.  As I looked at them, I noticed the branch-like hands, the stumpy legs, and leafy hair.  And I realized something: now we were the trees.
