“Oops” exclaimed Jeff freeman as the lights of his house suddenly darkened.  “Guess I forgot to pay the electric bill” he said to his plump wife Jan.  Out of the blue, a door creaked open down the main hallway, letting a sliver of light into the pitch dark room. A ghostly silence entered the room down the hall toward the room.  With teeth chattering, and bones cluttering, Jeff took his wife and slowly made their way into the kitchen which was a separate enclosed room on the north side of the house where they assumed they would be safe.
Once they made it into the kitchen, the eerie, ghostly presence was gone until out of the wall, came a frightening, skeleton-like man that said “Jeff Freeman, your time is up. Your family is due in 216 hours.”  Then the ghostly presence disintegrated into the cool fall air. Within a few seconds of the presence leaving, Jeff turned the color purple and stopped breathing. “Why did it get so cold?” Jeff wondered as his mind was still present, yet his body was gone.  The next thing he knew he had fur and was sliding around on the ice. It was unusually warm to have ice on the ground he thought then he realized that he wasn’t human anymore, he was 100% penguin, which seemed impossible to him to be human one minute and animal the next. 
He wandered around on the ice all day until at sunset, when he started to run out of breath. He didn’t know why he was in such bad of shape that he had to stop because he was having such a hard time breathing.  At the same time the Ghost threw bright, red, pointy darts at a dart board that had the words “Bird, Moose, Termite, Chipmunk, and Llama” written in unevenly distributed sections. Whatever the dart hit is what Jeff would become the next day; the ghost had a bad throw, so the dart landed on bird, which was the largest section on the board.  So once Jeff awoke on the second day, he woke up in a nest high up in a tree.  Once again, he had no clue how or why he was now a bird. 
As being a bird, when he tried to get out of the nest, he dropped to the ground because he had not inherited the way to fly. During that day that he was a bird, he remembered that ghost that killed him and remember that he was going to kill his family in 9 days so he set off on a quest to capture the ghost and save his family. During that day, he finally figured out how to fly and flew all the way to the north border of Canada, and realized he had a fear of heights.  It was near 9 o’clock at night, so he decided to stop and rest for the night. 
When he woke up the next day, he again had fur and this time had horns.  It took him an hour or so to figure out why every time he crossed the road, people stopped in both directions, and then he realized that he was a moose. His day as a moose was fairly easy until he felt little sting on his side. He then turned around to see a smaller man shaking with hear as he stared at the towering moose in front of him.  The small guy that resembled an ant to Jeff, took off running full speed towards the opening in the forest/ About that time, the sun set over the small patch of woods.
The night went by unusually fast for Jeff, but as usual he woke up the next morning as a bird again.  This time he knew how to fly, so he was able to fly a greater distance before sunset. Yet today was different, he had no interruptions or problems today.  He flew all day with no stops except briefly to rest. By sunset he had reached what looked to him, a small town.  The closer he go to this “town” the larger it seemed to be getting.  When he stopped to rest that night it finally came to him that he had landed in the outer part of New York City.  When he woke up the next morning, the world had grown to about 20 times his size. He was small and fuzzy.  He was a termite, but with a very unusual feature, he could talk again.

“Psst, over here” said a fellow termite.  “You hungry?” he asked Jeff suspiciously
“Yeah I am” he replied “Well, I brought home a whole 2”, 4” last night if you’re interested”
“Sure” Jeff replied.
So the fellow termite brought the wood out for them to feast on, which would be Jeff’s last meal for a few days.  Once they finished eating, he immediately took off on his way back home until the same termite friend that fed him, asked him where he was going, so he told him the whole story of how he had been killed by the ghost and how he had 9 days to save his family and that this was his 6th day.
So the other termite told him “See that delivery truck over there, it’s going out that direction, hop on the back of it and you got you a clear ride to Indiana.”  Little did they know that truck was not going to Indiana, but to Colorado.  So when he arrived in Colorado, Jeff realized that it wasn’t the same place as he was born and raised in. By this time, it again, was sunset, so he decided to go to sleep and get an early start tomorrow. When he awoke, he had fur again, but this time he was a lot larger. He was a chipmunk. Again, he could talk and this time, he could read. When he woke up in Colorado, he knew since it was only the 7th day, he had a chance to save his family.
This time, since he could read, he found a truck going back to Indiana, and snuck onto the truck and was on his way to Indiana. Once the truck arrived in Indiana, Jeff snuck off the truck and hid in the flower bed beside his house and watched as his wife packed up her bags and prepared to leave town.  That’s when he made his move and jumped right out in front of her and after she calmed down a little, he started to tell her all about what had happened.
“See, I’m back!!! I’ve been every animal you could imagine for the last few days but I’m back to save you!”
“How are you planning on saving us?” She asked
“I’m not sure, but I have a few days to figure something out.”  He replied as his wife smiled and went back inside to unpack. Jeff was so tired from his journey to Indiana that he decided to lie down under a shade tree and take a little nap. So he did and when he awoke, he was not furry anymore. He returned to human.  Attached from a tree branch was a note that read
“Congratulations, Jeff.  You have completed your task of saving you and your family.  I shall not bother you no more.” 
He went inside and shared the news with his wife and that was the last time he heard from that ghost.
