Mark looked at his passengers. " So whats the story? I get the idea that you four were all
part of the same crew , and got stuck here." " Yes" The plump woman seemed to be the
spokesperson . The two men seemed to be almost catatonic. The one man , really a
teenage boy , and the other middle age, and stocky. The woman continued . " We were
replacement crew members . Eight of us, for this honeymoon , dream cruise thing. we
docked at this so called Pleasure Island and things started getting weird. Sex seemed to be
the trigger. Young couples taking on animal characteristics. One night i witnessed a
couple go from human to a boar and a sow while fucking on a dining table. Next night the
banquet room was full of donkeys screwing each others humanity away." She turned to the
porcine engineer. " You were raped . I am so sorry . We ran, i was scared , we all were. We
ran , we are still human. Im sorry." The pig woman merely nodded. " We begged the
captain to leave, and he said he was leaving the next morning. We were sent ashore on
various errands , and thats when we were attacked by half human donkeys , boars,
Minotaurs even .T he three of us got away , the others , well Betty is the only one we know
about.Im so sorry Betty". " Ok , thats it. This is too damned big for us and a couple of
shotguns. There is food and drink in that dinky little cabin , refresh yourselves. We are out
of here. " With that Mark pushed to full throttle and the last of Pleasure Island dissapeared
behind the horizon. It was almost two hours later that Mark spotted land. The little boat
was flying over a blue glass sea, no clouds in sight. Mark was merely an average sailor ,
but there were no problems , and besides the woman and two men had consumed a
large
quantity of wine and ouzo. They were sleeping it off , and rightly so Mark thought. As the
small craft glided closer to land Mark spied a small cove, and headed for it. He needed to
get his bearings, and get to civilization. The closer they came to shore the more animated
the sow engineer became. Mark stared in stunned disbelief. It was the same cove they had
left on Pleasure Island, and there grazing on the slope above the beach were a lonely cow
and two donkeys.
