Where am I? I remember I was at home and then, ……………………, right, the creature! me like a bipedal lizard! the fire! was it all a dream? Or thank God! wait, am I still me? Yes! Having human legs, without a tail, arms and fingers without claws, nor a snout, nor skin with scales... Yes, it was all a dream! ………………………… Although quite strange and sad if I think about it calmly, ………………………………… but well, wait a minute! Where am I? What is this place? Why is everything empty and half-dark?


    <u>You don''t belong to us, you''re not just unworthy, but a human.</u>


    That voice! I heard it before when I woke up in that place. No! Everything is a dream, please, I don''t want to go back there. Without further ado, I feel something pulling me and pushing me towards the darkness. No, please!


    <u>Unworthy……………. Humans</u>


    I open my eyes and scream, but it sounds like a growl, and I see that I''m still a lizard, no! no! no! This is the dream! This can''t be true! I panic, more than before, because now I know where I am, in hell! or something similar, I don''t want to be here! I know I haven''t been the best person, human, son, or friend, I''ve lived by my principles, I''ve tried not to do harm to anyone and if I did, I apologize, I''ve made mistakes like any other human being, I''m not perfect, but, but; I''m short of breath, now I know I have a panic attack, I try to calm down, then I see the creature from before holding me and I think talking to me; little by little I start to calm down, I try to do what I can.


    Minutes later, I think, I manage to get out of that attack; the creature keeps talking to me, I don''t know if it''s worried or what. I try to understand what that dream and that voice were, but nothing comes to mind. I am trapped here, wherever this place is, and in this strange body, but maybe I can still go back. I was human! At least in that place, I must not forget who I am or my life; I must hold on to this. I am human and I will return home! But for now, I must understand what this place is and adapt, even if I don''t like it.

    I think I''m finally completely calm. The creature looks at me, I think with concern? I''m not sure; I don''t blame it, I bet I scared it with my awakening and my panic attack. Maybe it thought we were being attacked, which wouldn''t be possible from humans or at least that''s what I think, since the crack is small and only, we fit; a human wouldn''t fit, but any other creature might. I don''t know what other creatures might exist, but if there are intelligent bipedal lizards, I must keep an open mind and be constantly vigilant.


    Speaking of keeping watch, what time could it be? I know we are in a cave and I don''t know if it''s day or night; wait a moment! If it''s a cave, it should be dark, right? Thinking about it, I don''t see everything clearly, nor in full color, and this snout gets in the way. Even so, I can see in a certain scale of grays; wow; I think I have night vision, which means we are creatures of these caves. It must be our habitat, although I remember seeing the color of fire and certain colors in the village. I just hope to see colors as a human; for now, I am glad that this body is adapted to see in this darkness, although I wish I could see the sunlight again.


    Out of nowhere, I hear a growl. Oh no, something is attacking us! I search everywhere, but there''s nothing, just the two of us. Out of nowhere, it sounds again, but for my embarrassment, it''s my stomach, followed by a growl coming from the creature''s stomach; it''s true, we haven''t eaten anything. At least I just hatched yesterday, I''m a newborn, and I know how important it is to eat and drink to stay alive, what will we do?
