Lynn walked out of the stall as the subject inside began to wale. He cried the loudest as the stall doors closed and left him to wallow in his misery.
Lynn tried her best to ignor her feelings of pity, but his cries for help were most earnest.
A few yards down the isle Lynn pointed to the stall labeled HTML.Cooper. "Is this where Mary Jo resides?" asked Lynn. Lusious walked over and opened the top section of the double doors for a view of the resident.
Inside stood a well formed Throughbred mare, dappled gray with a black mane and tail. She snorted at her visitors and walked in nervous circles about her stall.
Lusious beconed her to come closer but she kept her distance. Lynn held out a hand in friendship as then the mare slowly walked over for a sniff of her scent. A few sound pats to the strong neck seemed to help the mare calm down and feel more friendly. "Was she pretty when a human?" asked Lynn looking behind her to see Sarah and Lusious.
"She was very lovely, slim and trim and carried herself with a sort of inner pride." said Sarah. "She will now have a true life to be proud of and many foals during her long life as a mare."
Lynn wanted to stay and pet the gorgous mare but knew she shouldn't show any attachments as she stood in front of the evil pair. As doors closed she asked about the left hand stall with both doors and steel bars across the entrance.
"This is Randy James, he came here as a runaway last month. No doubt he was thinking a farm to be a fun place to work and hide from the world. I believe he is finding this stall a worthy place to hide." said Lusious as he opened the top doors of the stall.
Lynn peered around the corner of the stall door almost not wishing to see what horror Lusious had performed on the boy. She showed a smile as she saw Randy, but in her heart she felt his pain.
Randy stood hunched over at the waist grunting and snorting through his large nostrils. Lumbering about he came close to the steel bars which seperated him from his visitors. Hot breath poured from his lungs as the smell of his growing beastly body mixed with the strong odors of urine and manure.
"He'll make a fine specimen of an American Bison Bull don't you think? I am giving him smaller amounts of the serum daily so his mind will have time to accept the completed change. If the subject it allowed to have enough time to accept the life I give them they keep all human thinking ability and memories. You might think that if they had their full faculties one would rebell against the authority which began their new lifestyle. Not true, they all begin to accept the easy life of an animal in captivity. The relaxed use or need to think brings out the instinctive actions like grazing and in the case of Randy even chewing a cud." said Lusious.
"Grazing takes forthought and planning doesn't it?" asked Lynn.
"Not really Lynn, the human mind would consider the action before attemping to try grazing. However as they calm into the lazy life of wandering about with nothing to do except nothing at all, they slip into a dull mental state. This state is when the instincts work into the lifestyle patterns of daily exsistance. As the mind is bored of not being challanged it lets go the hold on the actions of it's body. Bowel movement, bladder release can be controlled but if the care of where or what you are is lost so goes any reason for personal hygien.
Grazing is done out of being bored rather than the desire for food. The empty belly can ask for food and the animal consumes it's needs. However the Reformation Processed human will fill the belly as a reaction of being tired of doing nothing as a challange. Randy will be happy to mount a heifer but does it mostly for the challange than for the desire to procreate." Explained Lusious.
As the Bison came close it gave a greenish lick to Lynn's wrist as she held one of the steel bars. "Yuck!" exclaimed Lynn seeing the greenish sticky saliva cling to her skin.
"It's getting late," said Sarah, "I suggest we retire for the evening and look about the barn in the morning, Hmmm?"
Lusious agreed and Lynn just turned around to head back to the entrance. Their conversation as they strolled slowly back to the door leading past the pasture and to the main house brought screams of lonelyness from the Goatman in his dark stall.
The three hardly spoke on the walk to the main house and Lynn offered a friendly good night to Lusious from her bedroom door.
Lynn sat on her deck till all the house lights had gone dark. She watched the stars as thoughts of the Bison and Goatman whirled in her head.
After a long while she looked at her wristwatch to see it was almost one in the morning, "Time to look around myself!" she thought.
