Ken looked down from his lofty place his feet now trussed up leaving him hanging more forward and about four feet off the floor.
The manager was joined by a scientific looking man in a white Lab coat and dress black slacks. They both were looking at the clipboard and making visual notes of Ken's now obvious changes.
"May, may I ask a question?" studdered out the words says Ken.
The manager looks to Ken as if to Ok the question while the scientist type puts hands to hips as if annoied.
"As a Mule will I know my friends as friends ?" asked Ken his words slurring from lips and tongue on the grow.
The scientist takes the clipboard and begins, "Special Case number 4,964,507-E deferred to Mule, male, casterated, but by your friend here we will allow your intelligence continued intact. In fact unlike most your only the fifth one of our equine alotment to be left with any human recollection of what one used to be when human. I say its foolish and will be an extra hardship, yet this man won out and wants you to know who and what you are and were. I for one know that this will in time be a source of maddness which will cause a fine animal its own distruction!" grimbles the scientist as he hands the clipboard to another man and proceeds out the room.
"I for the one here does thank you!' says Ken slowly.
The manager walks up to Ken almost face to face making sure nobody else can hear him.
"If you think what I've done will be a blessing then you have got a lot to learn about being as an animal! I plan to check on your progress mister tough guy, and once placed in your daily rituals I expect your human thoughts to go simply nuts!" he tells Ken of his coming plight.
Ken hangs there thinking, his wildest thoughts of being an animal and Mule only see sensual pleasures and a life, if it must be so, of living on a very basic and simple manner. What this man has done still looks to Ken as a blessing, he wonders what is to be that he doesn't know yet about?
Reality comes quite back when Ken feels a tight band slipped around his nuts and then remembers the word, "casterated".
Suddenly Ken is painfully erect and looking down watches his human size male organ now growing longer, longer, and thicker.
