David looks down at the girls. When he sees them crying and pleading, a rage from a part of him that he didn't know existed.
"I'm staying. I don't care if I change all of the way with them. I'm not going to abandon them," David says.
"Fine, fine, do whatever you want but I'm out of here!" Ben says before running off.
David looks down at the girls. Some huddle next to each other even as their ears begin to grow. Others are sprouting tails that push up the skirts of those wearing them instead of pants.
After waiting until the man walks off David manages to climb down into the corral.
Two of the girls see him and approach him. One with blond hair and another with red hair. David sees that the blonde's ears are growing longer
"Who are you?" the blond asks.
"My name is David," David says.
"A boy? Damn it, he's just waiting to change so he'll be the only male donkey here!" the redhead says.
David considers it for a fleeting few seconds. The idea excites him. However, he assures himself that he must remain calm and not let donkey instinct destroy his mind and decency.
"Is that what you want? Some sort of orgy?" The blond asks.
"No, that's not what -- not what I..."
David feels a burning sensation in his ears. He can't help but reach up and feel them. He knows what's coming next but he doesn't want to accept it. The situation however has other ideas. David is helpless as his ears elongate and grow fur as they become donkey ears. Another part of his humanity is lost, taken from him by the island. He feels one step closer to the other donkeys.
"Damn it, get out of here before you change completely and can't control yourself then!" the blond says.
David holds his hands out. "No, that won't happen. I'm better then that, I won't let it win!"
David can see his fingernails darkening.
"Fool! It's already winning! Do you think I want to be a donkey?" the blond asks.
The girl David had seen earlier that had lost her shirt runs over to the duo.
"Please mister, I don't want a male donkey trying something with me!" she cries.
"No, I'm not male donkey! I'm human! Please, you hawwwwwf to believe me," David says.
A tear runs down David's cheek as he realizes that he may have no choice.
"Please, while I'm still human enough inside to remember. My name is David. I..."
David feels it start up again. His skin itches and his hands quake. Before his horrified eyes, his fingernails grow over his fingers. Movement grows harder by the second and soon, the feeling is all but gone.
"oh God, he's growing fur!" the blond says.
"Please, run before it's too late!" The shirtless girl says.
David stares at hooves in place of his hands as the changes seem to stop.
"Please, I don't want this. I don't want to lose who I am. I'm willing to be a donkey if I can stay me inside!" David cries.
Before David's eyes, the shirtless girl's ears grow longer. The blonde's hair vanishes into her scalp in all but a mane, which remains blond.
"I'm David, I like sports. Hockey is my favorite. I also like to read. Mysteries are my favorite type of novel. I like fall the best because of the changing leaves and cooler but not too cold weather."
David watches as the shirtless girls face elongates into a donkey muzzle while her ears become donkey ears.
"Oh God no!" David says.
The two other girls move to comfort the shirtless girl, who begins to sob as she feels her face.
David feels his stomach and chest expanding. His internal organs feels as though they're on fire. His shirt rips down the middle as his belly balloons into that of a donkey.
Somehow, David manages to undo his pants. They slide down what he just manages to see are fur covered legs.
The desire of a donkey is seeping into David's mind and it seems to be pushing out the interests of a human that go beyond full fulling the most basic of desire.
"Please, I'll do anything to keep who I am. I'll even be a female donkey," David pleads.
"Hurry, if it's getting you, you need to run! Please David, I don't want what you're going to be mating with me!" the blond pleads as fur starts to sprout all over her face!
With tears streaming down his face as he starts losing his balance, David considers what to do next.
