Tickled to himself for recording the Doctors interesting offer, Todd looks for a quick exit with plans to tell the world.
The doctor's assistant was not born yesterday and takes note of what appears to be a microphone clipped under Todd's lapell. He watches the young man closely taking mental notes of his actions which are minute by minute becoming much more suspecious.
Todd was ready to run as I noticed him looking suspecious even on my untrained eye. It was with him backing slowly away and headed toward the door that the Doc's assistant took the situation under control.
A fight and scramble for his very life was naught as out of the blackness surrounding our small group of volunteers came two beastly sized men.
They grabbed Todd and subdued him quickly. The Doc standing by walked over and once they allowed Todd to stand the Doctor addressed him.
"Foolish, very foolish, I suspect you had big plans of selling your recording to thew media, well not matter!" said the Doc as he took the small pocket recorder from Tood's coat and pressed the erase button.
"No doubt you wanted to make me the fool but instead it is I who will help you find, feel, and know what it is to be set in public and made a fool!" chided the Doc.
A short conversation with his assistant and todd was dragged away screaming, begging and pleading to be set free.
All returned to our business at hand until it came at last time for me. I was left there alone and before the Doc who with his wonder process would make the others for a time as animals of the zoo. He was now to ask of me if I had a thought for becoming one or another of those kept in this place. If I did not know or have an I dea then one would be choosen for me and thus I might find myself in a personal hellish situation.
"What of Todd?' I asked.
The Doc's expression changed to one of darkened anger for what the fool tried to do.
"His is going to be a time here in the zoo of daily working for his keep. I suspect he is even as we speak pleading for mercy but none will be offered. I instructed the labratory assistant to make him over into one of our Percheron geldings, and then in time he can pull a carriage with another of his kind." explained the Doctor.
Fantasies and those desires one has for being what till right then could never be ture all fell before me. I took a deep breath and then blurting out, "Sir if you would be pleased I'd like to join Todd and become one of your Percherons. I would prefer not to be gelded though and remain a complete male. Being so I would be of value as a stud animal and bring additional monies to the zoo. If you might agree I would ask to remain as the stallion for an extended stay, but during the time as a horse I want to be myself, be me mentally!" asked me for a life of differing ways.
"Young fellow are you some perverted man that being as an animal one would want to know and remember the actions of living as a beast? Most prefer ignorance till they return to their past selves, and then just how long is an extended stay?" asked the Doc sounding surprised at my request.
I stood there thinking for a few moments all the while seeing the Doc pacing and getting antsey over what I asked to become.
"Ok, I offer myself as this! Make me a Percheron stallion, color doesn't matter, leave my mind intact, allow me to thing, reason, and remember, knowing what I do and what I've done. Also I want to be put into stud service and be able to remember this as well! As for time of my stay here in the bodily form of a Percheron, well is it possible , say ten years?" I offered of my life, body, and future.
The Doc's eyes opened wide in surprise and then biting his lip he took a breath.
"You need to understand that being a verile male animal and placed from time to time in stud service, will cause some adjustments in you mental and moral patterns of thinking. A percheron is one large animal form and once grown into its physical size the return to being human will have some drawbacks. Be certain that some body parts of the horse will transition and remain once you return to being human. Maybe the worst is that after ten years there might not be anything left of your human persoanlity left. Being a horse and anila that long might doom you to live its entire life span and lose yourself to becoming a total animal over time, Is this what you still would want?' asked the Doc sounding very concerned.
