Sam covers his mouth, and feels his face. His nose is larger and his lips are thickening. Jake laughs, “dude, did you just bray like a donkey?” Jake’s laughs become deeper and more hoarse and Sam watches as Jake’s ears grow longer, and his blonde hair starts to turn dark black. “Jake, this isn’t funny, look at yourself,” Sam pleads.
Jake looks down at his feet and screams. The thick solid mass where his toes used to be were slowly looking like hooves. “What’s happening to my feet?” Jake lifts up one hoof and sees the shoeless hoof underneath. “Your ears, too,” Sam points. Jake lifts his hands up to his ears. “No, no, no. What’s going on?” Jake cries.
“Come on, let’s get out of here,” Sam points to the doors out. The run to them and only find themselves in more of the funhouse. Long spinning cylinders make a bridge over a padded floor. “We have to get AAWWW HEEE HAAWW,” Sam covers his mouth again, this time feeling his jaw push out slightly. Jake looks at Sam, “dude your getting WWWAAA HEEE HAWW.” Jake then covers his own mouth and the back of his shirt rips. He turns around and faces the cylinder bridge and Sam can see that a thick mane is growing down Jake’s back.
He darts across the cylinder, but it spins in place. Jake tries to balance, but his hooves give way and he falls to the padding. When he hits, his shirt rips further and his pant legs start to tear. “Jake are you alright?” Sam calls. “Just gggggoooo, I’m fine,” Jake struggles back. Sam hits the cylinder running, but is spun off as well. He lands beside Jake with a groan. “Come on, weeeeeeee have to keep trying,” Sam slurs helping Jake up.
Sam tries again, and starts to lose it again, but he jumps and clings to the other side. “Come on, dude, climb AWWW HEEEPPP,” Jake yells. Sam struggles and throws his foot up and rolls onto the edge. Jake tries again, but manages to stay balanced all the way. “Good job,” Sam smiles with his muzzling face, but Jake just looks terrified as he watches Sam’s ears stretch. “Come on, we gotta keep moving.”
In the next room, all they find is a slide that spirals down and out of site. “What do you think,” Jake looks to Sam. “I- Weeeee, don’t have a choice,” Sam groans and jumps onto the metal with Jake behind him.
The slide spins them around and around and Jake starts to groan, and then yell. Sam looks back and sees Jake’s face starting to grow out. Sam looks ahead again and tries to slow down with his feet, but his toes have hardened into a black mass and his fingers have started to curl up.
They both cry out, and their cries are soon joined by others as several slides and boys converge into one and dump them into a pile of hay. Sam and Jake struggle with the other boys all of which are looking more and more like donkeys. Sam crawls out of the hay, his shirt tearing from his swelling body. “Jake. Where aaaWWW HEE HAW. JaWW HEE HAW HEE HAW HEE.” Sam’s face pushes out into a full donkey’s muzzle and he paws at his with his fists. Jake emerges with a smaller muzzle, but has torn completely off exposing his hairy body. “Sam, nooooo AWWW HEE,” Jake brays and runs to him. All the other boys are running down a hay covered tunnel to who knows where, but Jake and Sam follow.
Many boys start falling to the ground braying as their changes completely take them over, and then Sam does the same. “Sammmmm get AWWWWWP,” Jake pleads. Sam just brays and starts kicking his feet. Jake is knocked back as Sam’s pants rip off and a tail comes lashing out. The new donkey Sam brays and runs down the path toward the unknown. Jake cries and groans watching his own hands start to curl up. “NNAWW PLEEE HAW HEE HAW.” Jake brays as his face pushes out and his pants rip. He falls to his side convulsing as he becomes a full donkey.
He races down the tunnel passing only other donkeys along the way. He passes under the rope bridge and ends up in a massive coral filled with donkeys. The deafening sound of brays filled the coral, and each donkey was lead one at a time to inspection.
A whip cracks and Jake is pushed out into a light and a deep voice asks, “And what is your name?”
Jake answered…”HAWWWW HEEEE HAWWW.”
