A strange sense of calm met Jake's mind as he continued to survey the form he now wrapped within. A vibrant feeling of muscular strength like nothing he'd ever felt before.
Turning around Jojo stood facing him, Jake wondered if he would attack but nothing happened. Jojo turned and as if glad to have a friend sauntered into his muddy pen.
Jake thought of getting out of there but first had no place to go that was any safer. Besides he was barely three feet tall at the center of his bristly back, while his head was bent down for easy grazing.
Grazing the thought brought the desire for food into his thoughts and as he stood in the high grass his mouth opened. Jake began to taste the standard food of grazing animals. At first the dry stalks of tall grass had a taste of shredded wheat but the more he ate, the more he was delighted.
The inner calm he had along with the bliss of chewing down this sweet forest of high grass in what to a hog must look as a entire world. Jojo looked for his new friend and spotted his round butt swaying as he mowed the nearby grass. Soon enough the two boars were side by side, face to face in the mindless bliss of eating.
The afternoon waned on and the sun began to set in the late October day. The cool of the afternoon signaled a change to the happy boars and Jojo was the first to raise his head. Suddenly he took off on a piggy run for the fence line. Jake took note and followed long behind as he had use his scent ability to find Jojo in the tall grass.
Jojo stood with his snout stuck through the squares of the fence wire. Looking with boarish desire at a field filled with his and now Jake's cousins. Jake wondered why the boar should want to go past the fence? Indeed the two of them had lots of grass here and over the fence the pasture was grazed down to nubbs.
As Jojo stood in wild desire, Jake began to walk the fence for a spot to cross his friend over. A ground hog's burrow near the fence gave a good digging start to tunnel under. Jake began to scrape the dirt away with his forehooves as Jojo came over to see what was up.
Jojo watched till he thought time was right and the hole looked big enough. Zoom he went for the hole and wiggled and wiggled his fat guts under the fence. Jake stood where he was happy and watched his ole' masscot head for a group of sows.
Jake turned back to grazing since he did not unnderstand Jojo's wish to visit those sows. Again the mindlessness of eating took hold till it was dark and got very cold. The cold seemed to give a singal in Jake's limited thoughts. His brain was now very much that of the boar yet memories of human self remained.
The thought of finding shelter from the cold seemed reasonable. Jake sauntered his fat bulk back to the muddy pen and the small wooden shed built for Jojo. As Jake nestled down in the less than clean straw he felt the medallion pinch into his chest. Still hung around his bulged neck it gave some unknown comfort that he owned it yet.
The morning sun of another October day rouse at 7a.m. It's light awoke Jake as he again surveyed his new home. The previous day of fun and grazing left his gut full of chewed grass. Standing still in his bedding he stretched his back and let go a full bladder.
Walking as a fat hog could he stepped out into the domain of the sty. Now his bowels groaned for it's turn of release as Jake met his bodies' needs.
"Here piggy, piggy, hey that dumb Jake left the pen gate open, said the Coach as he came with a five gallon bucket of fresh water." Jake looking just like his twin stood in the sty and oggled his pink eye at the big human.
The Coach slammed the gate shut and turned to fill the water trough. "Hey there Jojo who gave you that nice jewelry, said the Coach as he noticed it around Jakes neck." As he tried to reach for it Jake lunged at him as if to hurt him and chase him away.
Stepping back the Coach desided the better part of being Coach was to send Jake out here and tend the beast. Giving a quarter bale of hay as his breakfast the Coach turned to leave. Jake watched and was glad for some unknown reason that he kept his neat toy.
