"Oh gosh... I'm going to be a Chicken?" Kim opened the letter, and read it with a look of horror on her face.
The letter came with the typical golden stamped seal of the United States Department of Agriculture, with the customary title, "Farmland Regeneration Act" written in raised lettering underneath. The package was bulky, and full of information, both legal and specific. The package always contained a consolatory letter from the US president, stamped with a fake signature. The letter was always faux-comforting, and was pre-fabricated. Skipping past a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, the important line was always the one in bold... with the underlined text of what you are destined to be. In Kim's case, this text read, "Chicken - Farm Unit 21290"
The second bit of the package was the brochure that was species specific, detailing everything that was going to be expected of Kim and where she had to meet. Reading into her specific assignment, she got a picture of what she was to become... some pathetic chicken, 5 times smaller than her, destined to be fucked by roosters all her life and lay eggs in a cooped up cell. And that would only be if she was lucky... randomly, a certain number of the chicken population is chosen for slaughter and to feed humans. That doesn't even take into account the dirty living conditions.
Kim was distraught! She tried to deny it at first, screaming, "There must be some mistake!" But to no avail, she kept reading the letter. Her mom just tried to comfort her, knowing that the government would get their whole family if they tried to escape. There was no way around it, Kim was destined to become a chicken, and she'll just have to accept it.
After a while, the family brought Kim to the regeneration center. They waited in the waiting room, filled with other people of varying ages and genders who were destined to, themselves, become farm animal regenerators. Some had it good. A black girl in the corner was destined to become a black mare, and a few boys were going to become great danes and sheep dogs, to watch over the stock. They either had connections at the lab, or bribed for their spot. Kim had no such luxury... and neither did the people standing around her.
One case that she saw was a brother and sister, destined to become male and female bull and cow, in the same pen. A sinking feeling came over her, realizing that they would probably be mating with each other before the day was through. Then she turned her head to see other people, all boyscouts, 5 destined to become drones, and 1 destined to become the queen bee in the hive of a honey farm. Some were going to become caterpillars in a silk far, and some were going to become ducks and sheep. She couldn't handle being forced to see this one mother and daughter walk through a hallway, both facing regeneration as male and female breeder 'danes.
But when they called her name, she got the biggest sinking feeling of all. She walked through the hallway, looking left and right, scared out of her mind. The two men guiding her clenched her a bit tighter, directing her to a room where a doctor in a white lab coat simply looked at her like another subject, as if he's been doing this a long time now. He raised an eyebrow and nodded.
"Pity, you're a beautiful girl" he said.
"I know" Kim shot back, spitting on the doctor.
The doctor just stared at her for a moment, "Well, there goes that beauty impression. I'm sure the roosters will have it out for you, dear" he grinned, and walked up to her, injecting her thigh with a shot.
She screamed, he laughed.
She looked down... and there, molting on her legs, a thick yellow film started to replace her skin. Her skin began to grow scaley, as her toes started to merge.
"Make it stop!" She yelled.
To no avail, though, the changes began happening at a more rapid pace. Her digits fused into chickens feat, and her vagina started to leak... and slide back, fusing with her anus. She looked down and screamed, feeling in human. She went to touch the singular hole, hoping to pull it back, in a sense... but when she did, her hands quickly morphed into wings, and feathers started to appear. She started to jump up and down, trying to make it all stop, but her head got smaller and smaller. She now saw in double vision, barely able to look forward... and the world seemed so huge around her. As the final bits of her change took place, she stood on the floor, barely able to make a "cluck."
<This cant be real...> she thought, but like nothing, the doctor picked her up and dragged her to the farm grounds, as she clucked and screamed the entire way.
