Josh is quick to catch up with Marie at the end of the tunnel. All he can see are her legs and her feet, but as he gets closer he sees that she doesn’t have feet at all. She has a broad flat mass where her toes should be and her ankles aren’t dirty, they’re hairy. Josh comes out of the tunnel. “It’s about tim-“ Marie stops and looks at Josh’s ears. She laughs. “Where did you get those, I want a pair.” She tweeks on of his ears as he gets to his feet. “Ouch, don’t,” he says rubbing it. “Come on, out with it, when did you buy them, I didn’t see you buy those ears, they’re adorable,” Marie goes on. “Marie, these are my ears. Something bad is happening to me. And to you, too.” Marie looks at him, “To me? Nothing is happening to me.
Josh opens his mouth to say something but is interrupted by a loud bray from inside the tunnel. Marie is curious and bends down to look inside. As she does, her shorts rip up from one of the legs and stops at her belt. Josh watches as a long tail frees itself from behind her. It’s covered in brown fur and capped with a thick black tassel.
“I think there’s something stuck in the tunnel.” Marie says, not noticing her shorts. Josh reaches up to his ears. They’ve gotten longer. “Marie, we have to get out of here now.” Marie stands back upright. “What is the matter with you? You… Your ears are different. And your lips.” Josh’s face goes pale. “My lips?” He feels them and they feel swollen. Marie starts to look at herself and looks at her ass. She screams.
“A tail! I have a tail!”
