"You know what would be cool?" Jeff asked as he watched his dad tear through the twenty-kilo weight like it was paper. "If we could make you even more mutant."
Mike cocked his head at Jeff and padded over to sit by the laptop. Jeff showed him the menu he'd just found. "See here, animal transformation. Except, these are just partial transformations, so we could make you a rat crossed with some other animal, what do you think of that?"
Mike squeaked excitedly, and his tail wrapped around Jeff's thin wrist. The thick, muscular appendage gently guided his cursor over one of the animals. They locked eyes.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Jeff asked. Mike didn't respond, only crushing his son's finger down onto the 'Begin Transformation' button, and letting the ray of change overtake him.
