After driving for couple of hours, the family finally arrives at their destination: a large farm, which is located in the middle of nowhere.
Mike stops the car on a free parking spot, “finally, we made it,” he says.
His wife raises an eyebrow as she takes out some documents, “are you sure this is the right place,” she asks, “I mean the address does match the location, but the farm looks nothing like on the pictures”.
“What do you mean,” Mike asks.
“Well, look at the main house,” Janet says, “it’s painted white and not red, a farm always has dogs, but I don’t see any sign of a dog even living here”.
Mike shrugs, “well, we are at the right place, according to the GPS and maps,” he says, “so, let’s just settle, maybe you have the wrong pictures in your head”.
Janet doesn’t seem convinced, but she really does not want to ruin the vacation, “I guess,” she says, “still, this place has a strange vibe to it”.
“It’ll be fine,” Mike says, stepping out of the car, “you worry to much”.
Janet sighs, ‘maybe,’ she says as she and the kids get out of the car, ‘but I feel that something about this place feels very VERY off’.
Mike knocks on the door of the main house, soon they hear footsteps approaching and the door opens to reveal a man in his mid 40s, the man smiles, “welcome, you must be family Orlando?”
Mike nods, “correct,” he says, “I’m Mike, this is my wife Janet, my two sons Zack and Maurice and my daughter Zoey,” he introduces them to the man.
“Welcome, welcome,” the man says, sounding extremely cheerful, “it is a pleasure to meet you and have you on my humble farm. My name is Josh, and I live here by myself, so you can imagine how much work I have to do, so, having a few helping hands would be great”.
“Um,” Zack says, “we came here to RELAX and NOT work,” he says.
“Zack,” his mother says, “be polite”.
Josh chuckles, “I see you are a stubborn young man,” he says, “you don’t have to worry though, IF I should need your help, it’ll be minor stuff, but as you said: you are here to relax and I’ll make sure that you do. Now, please follow me to your rooms”.
They follow the man into the house, Janet still feels creeped out, ‘something tells me we are in danger, but I just can’t put my finger on it,’ she thinks to herself, ‘I guess I am just overworked and stressed out. I must be imagining things’.
What Janet is unaware of is that her gut feeling is right, ‘these fools,’ Josh thinks to himself, ‘have fallen straight for my trap! About time I got my Dog, a dairy Cow, a Bull, a Mare and a Stallion, and I think Zack will make one great guard dog, the wife will make a fine Stallion, her Husband will make a fine Mare, Maurice will make a fine dairy Cow and Zoey will be one hell of a handsome Bull’. Josh shows each to their rooms and hands them the keys, “now, while you settle in, I’ll go and prepare something to eat, you must be hungry after such a long journey”.
Zack looks at his family after Josh had left, “that dude is weird and creepy,” he says.
“Yeah,” Maurice says, “he gives me the shivers”.
Zoey just shrugs, “whatever, I don’t really care, I just hope I have WiFi here!”
Janet sighs, “I to have a weird vibe,” she says, “this place just feels off”.
Mike rolls his eyes, “you guys really need to start and relax,” he says, he seems to be the most relaxed of them all, the others simply shrug.
While the family settles in and unpacks their stuff, Josh is in the basement of the main house, the man is standing in front of a rack which has bottles of wine. The man grins as he pushes a tiny hidden button on the wall beside the rack. Suddenly, the rack moves outwards, like a door, revealing a hidden room behind it. Josh steps into the room and the “door” closes behind him, the man walks over to a wall which is covered in monitors and a desk with buttons and leavers below it. Josh sits down on the chair and grins as he watches each member of the family unpack their belongings, ‘time to put my plan into action,’ he thinks to himself. He grabs a CD that has the image of a German Shepherd on the box and inserts it into a slit on the desk, the slit is labeled with Zack’s room number. Josh does the same with the other members of the family, ‘now to get their attention,’ he thinks to himself and presses a button which causes the TV’s in each room to jump to turn on, at the same time the CD’s he inserted into the slits start to play. Josh grins evilly to himself as he watches what will happen.
When the TV’s in their rooms all of a sudden turn on, each family member turns their attention directly at the TV. As they look at the screen, they all see a spiral in front of a pink background, the spiral immediately starts to spin, “what the he…,” everyone exclaims, but suddenly are cut off as they are immediately affected by the strong magical energy emitting from the spiral.
“Welcome to your new life,” a calm voice starts to speak, “you are now under my control. You will do anything I suggest without question, first, you will forget all your troubles and just relax your mind. Let the magic seep into your mind and body, there is nothing to be afraid, it is simply helping you relax and prepare you for your true purpose. Now, the first step for you is to strip out of those silly human clothes, animals don’t need clothes, why are you even wearing them? They feel so uncomfortable and wrong on your body, you don’t even remember why you are wearing clothes, there is nothing wrong of being naked, you are, after all, just a dumb animal! Now! STRIP!”
Each of them follow the order without hesitation, once each of them are naked the voice continues, the new message is for each member different:
Zack: Dog
Janet: Arabian Stallion
Mike: Arabian Mare
Maurice: Cow
Zoey: Bull
