"Shit..." I muttered to myself while staring at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, my gaze squarely on the pair of long furred animal ears where my human ears should be. I gave one a firm yank and let out an audible yelp, to my horror they were 100% real, I could even feel a jolt of pain shoot down my face. The question was what kind of ears these even were, kangaroo? Rabbit? Did it even matter? All I knew was that the voice in my head was telling me one thing and one thing only, "Escape".

My dad was right, no such thing as a free lunch, or in my case a free luxury resort vacation. I slipped my shirt on and quickly strapped my sandals on before heading down the stairs. I glanced around the bar/lounge cautiously and it seemed the coast was clear. Just as I got to the bottom of the stairs I was stopped in place by a loud SNAP that sent a jolt down my spine.

I fell forward, catching my fall with my hands. "What the hell?!" I yelled out loud as I tried to stand back up. I couldn't quite explain it but it was as if my back was locked in place and forcing me on all fours. With all my might I forced myself upright while gripping the railing to keep from falling over again. "Just gotta make it to the door" I thought to myself. I let go of the railing although it only took a few cautious steps before I was back on all fours. I grumbled and slowly crawled my way to the wall, propping myself against it and rubbing my leg hoping that anything would make my body bend the right way.

As I rubbed my leg I could feel my hand stiffen up, no worse, both hands! I watched in horror as fur crept down from my shoulders and past my elbows, my joints locking up and shifting as the fur enveloped my skin. As soon as it reached my hands they became as hard as rocks, my fingers fusing together into clumsy hooves. I screamed while frantically trying to wiggle my nonexistent fingers. "HEEELP!" I yelled in a panic, squirming with what little human dexterity I had left. My breathing hastened as I felt the transformation completely take over my body with no end in sight.

Even though I couldn't see it I could feel the fur spreading down my torso before finally reaching my legs. "Ah! AH! AAAAH!" I screamed while flailing my legs as if kicking could somehow magically shake the changes off. As I squirmed my kicks went from the slapping sound of sandals to audible hoof clops against the hard floor. My feet stretched and firmed up into unmistakable donkey legs. I huffed in my panic, glancing around, my arms and legs were locked forward, I couldn't stand and worst of all the changes were finally creeping up my neck and reaching my face.

"Someone HaWw-HeeEELP!" I screamed although it wasn't even my voice anymore, it was deeper and horse. I gulped as my neck craned outward, thickening and lengthening. I could feel my tongue thickening up too as my face began to steadily push outward, the more my face changed the less human I sounded. "Help! hawlp haaawlp! Hawww... HEEE HAWWW" I yelled painfully as my face finished forming into a dorky donkey snout.

Just like that, all I could do was lie on the floor and bray like a donkey while my body finished growing and barreling out. I cried out one last bray as the door slowly creaked open, a mysterious villain stepping in to admire their handiwork.
