Madame' walks around the tall man, words some of anger some of thrill pour from her lips. As her palms mix with the incantation a gray mist begins to swirl about the man's head.
The crowd is silent, not a cough, a whisper, all are intent on the stage. Madame's words come faster and with them the gray mist darkens and swirls around even faster. The thickening mist grows blacker and darker as it swirls down, down, down over the big man.
Suddenly out of the whirlpool of black foggy mist a scream issues from the man. A scream which would chill one's blood! Fear, terror, horror, the man began to realize Madame's words.
Finally the mist roars about the man as we see articles of clothing fly from the torrent of whirling mist. First a shirt torn in three pieces flies' onto the stage. Then white tiny rags of possible underwear spring away to rest also on the wooden stage. A strange moan is heard as a second later some pair of bluejeans hits the stage torn in half up the crotch.
As if the man walks to one side of the stage, the swirling cloud moves with him but left behind is a pair of Nike' sport shoes and the white socks hanging out down the sides of each shoe.
Another scream louder and more blood curdling than the first echo's about the silent theater. Steven steps close to the black whirling smoke. It boils like the pillars which rise from the fires of Hell. Yet it never rises from off the man's figure it just rolls over and boils in and out around the cloud.
"REACH FORTH AND BALANCE AGAINST MY SHOULDERS!" commands Steven to the victim of Madame's twisted desires.
Slowly stretching out of the boiling mass of black smoke comes what appears to be horny gray cloven hooves. Then forelegs covered in thick black curls of hair can be seen as the crowd gasp's in unison!
"CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ME BEAST!" calls Steven to the man and victim.
The crowd listens for his reply but in the quiet a soft moan is heard by all. Again Steven calls into the cloud! The reply comes as a human like scream mixed with that of a terrified animal's cry. As the gasp's come from the crowd a louder cry, but this time it sound's more of animal than human.
Madame' stands to one side and with the wave of her hands commands the spirits to evade and leave the subject to his new form and fate.
Where the cloud started it's swirling it began to clear about the man's head. Like steam slowly clearing from a mirror the form became seen by all! At first odd gray mounds but as the mist cleared the true sight of curled great horns, rolling from out of his forehead back above his skull. People sat forward on the edge of their bench.
The sight of this was a mircle to be true. Mist cleared now faster as the whirling slowed inside the cloud. Eyes, his eyes opened showing two bright yellow pupils which glared back at the crowd. I saw and looked close at the eyes of this once normal man. Eyes which starred out at the crowd either in lust of what he felt, or in horror of his rationalization of what he had become, I know not!
As he issued another of his cursed screams the sight of white teeth and pink tongue were of a goat. Pleading as he screamed for help or release to serve it's deep black sexual lust, I could not say.
Now the cloud is almost gone as we gasp at the sight of a tall black curly haired Ram. A Ram, a male goat true enought from horns to hooves he leaned his weight onto Steve's shoulders. Steve took a step backwards and in unison the Ram stepped forward. Out and to the front of the stage they walked. The klunking of heavy hooves on the wooden stage sent shivers in us all.
Madame' smiles and walks close to the huge Ram standing balanced against Steven. "RAM ! RAM, are you ready to live those erotic moments you so long desired ?" Madame' called out.
The Ram turned his face to her's and let loose a horrified wail of a scream.
Madame' smiled and reaching into a pouch she raised a hand filled with sparkle dust. As the dust filter from her fingers the sparkles settled on the Ram's head. The beast looked up and then a shaking shiver wriggled down his form.
"You are indeed ready to find your desires! The magic dust will purge all humanity from the goat you have become. Now think of thos goats in the railroad car. Think of the scents of sweet females in need and lusting desires! Show us now your response to those lusty girls, show us now!" Madame' urged the beast.
As it danced from one leg and hooves to the other we watched as his bright pink rod pressed out of the shaggy belly hairs. Jumping and dancing about he could barely hold onto Steven for balance. As Steven knowingly stepped to one side a hot stream of goat semen shot across the stage.
"Now the man is gone! A worthy black Ram stands here willing and ready to own his herd. The memories of his humanity invade the beastial mind but it's puny power of thought is no equal to animal instincts. Steven let him down and lead the animal to a holding pen out back! Thank you all for coming tonight!"
The crowd sits stunned and in a daze as Madame' with Steven take a grip on the huge Ram and walk it off stage.
As the crowd walks out muttering of what they saw I stand in the shadows to learn the Madame's trick.
