Evan decided to become the woman’s pet dog. He had always been curious about what it would be like to live as a dog, and this was the perfect opportunity.
Evan spoke to the woman. “Hey, uhm, what is your name?”
“Jamie,” she replied. “And your name is Evan, right?”
He ignored her question. “Do you want a dog?”
“Ooh, it would be pretty fun to have a dog! It would be good exercise, and I would walk it around everywhere!”
“Could I become your pet dog, please?”
“Wait, what? But you’re a human, obviously!”
“Yes, but the shop next door offers magic dog collars that can transform its wearer into a dog. But they are pretty expensive, and it’s rumoured that if you steal even one collar, they will use that collar on you and make you the property of the shop... forever!”
As Evan spoke to Jamie, he could feel reality shifting around him. The shop next door, formerly a sports shop, became mysterious and dog-themed. Everything he was talking about was coming to life.
Evan continued. “So what are you waiting for? Let’s go see what’s at that shop!”
