Paul pulls on his new tail. “What is this? What’s going on?” he looks over to the line of boys at the roller coaster. The boys are all staring at each other, touching their own ears and butts. One boy is sitting on the ground pulling off the remains of his shoes. The boys around him all gasp as he slides off his sock. The boy’s foot is covered in gray fur and at the end is a thick black hoof.
The sky starts to get lighter. The stars have started to fade to the rising sun. Then, one of the boys with long ears yelps. He lifts up his shirt and looks back at his rear end. A large bulge has started to appear in the back of his pants. Paul looks back at his own tail, realizing what was happening to the boy, but then he starts to feel his ears burning. Paul reaches up to the side of his head where his ears should be, but they’re gone.
His face pale with fear, Paul moves his hands slowly up the side of his head. The boy with the bulgy pants groans as the fabric strains. Paul moves his hands up higher, the boy’s pants rip, higher, a tail squirms out of the hole in the boy’s pants, and then Paul reaches to the top. On the top of his head are a pair of furry donkey ears.
