While Damon and Monica were out having a very fun night on the town, Thomas was left where he was, as a rat in a cage. A bird cage, even! What an indignity! He was left with a pile of cloth scraps to use as a bedding, wood chips, hay and some food and water. He looked despondently at the food. Grain pellets. If he could have, Thomas would have scowled and frowned. Great... Couldn't this jerk Damon leave him with a least some cheese? But as his nose twitched at the pellets, his tummy twisted in hunger. Oh no... He turned away, determined not to listen to his new base instincts. He would not sink THAT low! Damon would just love that, he bet! So the former human boy sniffed and looked around. No escape, everything was too narrow and tight. Thomas then looked at his new body. A bald tail and tiny little claws and paws. Brown and white fur. Free of fleas, as far as he could tell. And a nose that twitched nonstop. Thomas did notice that he was still male. His penis was just a shaft but his testicles were there for sure. Almost dragging to the ground, in fact.
"Small consolation," he thought.
As if he could find female rats attractive, ever! Worse, Monica seemed to be back with Damon, which made no sense. Indeed, it was as if reality had been changed. And there had been a girl in the room with Damon, silent and simply staring at him. She was gone now, but her clothes were unusual. Did she have something to do with Thomas' plight? Thomas squeaked but no one answered back. So he went into the hay and curled up to sleep, dimly hoping that it was all just a bad dream.
But it was not a bad dream. Indeed, Thomas woke up to a new nightmare. Monica and Damon had returned and they were noisy! Thomas took a few seconds to remember what he was now and where he was, but he then had to suffer through the indignity to listen to Monica and Damon have sex. All the while he was curled up under some hay, with wood chips for a mattress and trying to ignore his stomach's increasingly desperate calls for the food that horribly sounded more and more tempting.
