I felt as if this kind man was being friendly, and I turned to thank him when...my eyes met his.
I was drawn inside his mind and felt him grasp my being. Like great hands shaping me I felt different. The time was only an instant but it felt like much longer.
As I stepped into the vehicle and turned to the nice man he said, "Cono labastian hudo equus la till death!"
I closed the door and he waved as the car headed for home. My mind was drifting back to his eyes. I soon found that I had driven past the house and stopped at a horseback ridding academy.
I sat in the car wondering why I drove here. I never had stopped here before in the ten years since we moved to Richland.
As I decided to drive home, looking in the rearview mirror caused me to get disturbed. Looking back at me was two pointed brown furry ears. My eyes were dark brown, now were large and moving to the side of my changing head.
Fear of what was happening and the realization that I was becoming a horse.
