Poem
The Alligator Man This is the strange tale of the Alligator Man it all took place in the Amazon River, as a young alligator is looking for food to satisfy his needs. Above him a large storm was forming, it had a very unusual red hue inside the clouds, below the alligator was enjoying his find of a large sea snake, when all of a sudden the lightning bolts came crashing down in the jungle. The alligator was very scared as he made for the embankment, he tried to take refuge but was hit by a powerful lightning bolt, he lay motionless as if dead, within minutes he stirred, but noticed something very strange, his body was stripped of his protective armour, and he found the urge to stand on his back feet, he noticed he was changed somehow, his appearance no longer looked like an alligator, his form was more human than before as he walked through the jungle he found refuge from the storm and his instinct now was to keep warm, he lay down and fell asleep, after two hours he woke up and had changed again, he was human and found he could make noises through his mouth. Leaving the cave he came across a group of campers, he approached them and noticed the smell of food. He approached the camp and tried to sneak away with some hot meat that was cooking on a spit, he went to pick it up but was stopped by a camper, the Alligator Man looked in horror as they all got hold of him, after a while they realised he did not understand them, he suddenly collapsed on the ground, he slept for an hour but when he awoke he had become very old, the campers decided to take him to the nearest hospital as they had not seen anything like this, they gathered up their camping gear and then went straight to the hospital, from the rear of the vehicle they heard loud groans, they stopped the vehicle and went quickly to the rear. They saw the old man transform into pure energy. What had caused this strange phenomena? it seemed the lightning bolt had somehow mutated the alligator's DNA and it cause an evolutionary change making the creature evolve each time into a higher form of life, the final change was pure energy and thought, perfect in every way.
