“We gotta get out of here,” Jesse yells. They both take off running down the boardwalk.
All around them boys are running in various stages of changing. They plead for help from each other, crying and braying as they change. Several donkeys are already roaming around the park, some with tatters of clothes on them.
They reach the main entrance where several attendants are guiding some of the half changed boys to a structure. “In here, the changes will stop if you run over here quick.” Boys quick for relief run into the building.
“Come on, before we get worse,” Josh yells, but Jesse stops him. “What are you HEE HAW doing?” Josh shouts. “I don’t trust it, it loo… looks….” Jesse grits his teeth as his lips turn dark. His nostrils flare outward and connect with his upper lip. The pain goes away and he gasps for breath. He feels the new face he is growing.
“We HAW to go, NAW HEE.” Josh groans. “Wait,” Jesse leads Josh around the side of the warehouse where several attendants stand guard. They sneak around up to the windows of the warehouse.
They close their eyes once they see what’s happening on the inside. The boys who are running in the front door immediately fall into a large open coral.
The coral is filled with donkeys and changing boys. They scream and plead trying to climb back out as their changes speed up. Many fall grabbing their stomachs in pain and braying wildly as they become total donkeys. At the other end of the coral, the donkeys are being heard out to the docks.
