Vermin Curse

 Deep beneath the bustling city, Todd, Matt, David, Abby, Ronnie Anne, and Hannah, a group of adventurous explorers, embarked on yet another thrilling expedition. Their fame had been steadily growing on the internet, where they documented their journeys in the most peculiar and mysterious places, and this time, they had a unique mission.

Live streaming their adventures, they descended into an ominous sewer line opening. Their loyal followers tuned in, eager to witness their latest escapade, all the while being told this journey was a promotional stunt for the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Little did they know that this sewer was unlike any other.

As they ventured deeper into the murky depths, an eerie sensation hung in the air. Unbeknownst to them, this sewer held a malevolent curse, a dark secret that had lurked beneath the city for centuries. It had the power to transform anyone who entered into a random type of vermin, not just physically but mentally as well.

The curse began to take hold, and one by one, each member of the exploration team felt a creeping transformation. First, it was Todd, who suddenly sprouted a long, hairless tail and found himself scurrying along the damp tunnel walls, thinking only of cheese. The live stream captured his bizarre metamorphosis, leaving viewers around the world both fascinated and horrified.

Next was Matt, who transformed into a sleek, slippery eel, slithering through the sewage with a single-minded desire to find the darkest corners of the sewer. David turned into a large, sluggish rat, his human thoughts fading into a relentless need to nibble on anything he could find.

Abby, in her horror, became a giant cockroach, her once-clear thoughts overridden by a primal urge to seek shelter in the filth. Ronnie Anne, with her infectious laughter now lost, became a slimy, tentacled creature, her mind absorbed by the pursuit of prey in the inky darkness.

Hannah, the last to change, morphed into a slick, amphibious newt, her memories of her human life slipping away like water through her webbed fingers. The world watched in shock as their beloved explorers were transformed into grotesque creatures, their humanity erased.

Their live stream continued, capturing their new lives in the depths of the sewer. Millions watched in fascination, some in disbelief, as the group of six explorers, now fully transformed, carried on with their instinctual, vermin-like existence.

The curse was permanent, and the world had lost these brave explorers to the subterranean world forever. Their exploration group, once human and adventurous, had become a bizarre menagerie of sewer-dwelling creatures, their memories of their previous lives forever gone. And all of this had played out before the eyes of the world, a grim reminder that some mysteries are best left unexplored.
