Millie was humming pleasantly to herself as a nice breeze whistled through her hair on that initially wonderful Tuesday morning.
She was driving a kart around the African elephant grounds. It was stocked with food, and she was going to refill some food bins in the large, savannah-like enclosure.
Her favorite elephant, Luna, came galloping up to her as she was carrying the food bags off the kart.
Momentarily setting her load down, she reached out to caress the gentle trunk that reached out to her.
It was then that the alarms began to blare overhead, and her phone violently vibrated with the sound of multiple automated alerts.
Millie didn't have time to even check, both her and Luna taking a step back in confusion.
The wave of red heat and light struck the woman and the elephant, knocking them unconscious for the next 15 minutes as their bodies merged into something strange.
