As you wait for your fate to reveal itself, you take in the scents around you some more.
There were the scents of the ass, of course, but also others. You could distinguish
some bovine and porcine, as well as fowl. You even smelled a lighter scent that you
couldn't make heads or tails of. As you were contemplating what it might be, you heard
the clicking of heels on concrete. Not the thick clunk of hooves, more like heels or
formal wear. As the quick progression neared, you heard it slow. It finally stopped in
front of you. The stripper that changed you had returned.
"Come on boy, time to go to your new home." she said. She opened your stall. You
tentatively step forward and wait for her to tie the rope to you before you continue. She
hesitates for a moment before leading you further into the stables until you reach the
wall at the far end of the building. There are two doors there: a normal door, and a
larger door you've seen in cargo bays and loading areas. She ties you to the doorknob
of the smaller door and enters through it. Moments later the cargo door opens. Behind it
is a large concrete room. At least, you think it's concrete from your position. You scoot
over a bit and see that it is, in fact a concrete room. You can also smell many animal
scents. Not just the barnyard variety, but also scents that your donkey brain doesn't
recognise. As you take in these scents, the stripper returns from the door. She ushers
you into the room and the door closes behind you. Looking around, you see a door on
the far wall- this one without a handle or knob of anykind. You take a step towards it and
it opens. A man wearing a lab coat and a pair of rubber gloves emerges.
"Come on. In here." he says. He pulls a handful of sugar cubes from his pocket and
extends his arm out to you. You venture forward and take the sugar cubes as gently as
possible. While you were enjoying your treat, he pulls out more, only these are blue in
color. Without thinking, you accept his sweets.
"Very good. I didn't think you'd actually co-operate." He went back through the door and
returned momentarily with a clip board and studied it for a minute.
"Wow. You're lucky. First relocation in ten minutes, AND you'll be a pet for an employee!
You don't know how lucky you are." he scribbled something down and then left once
more. You stood there in silence and waited. Then, you felt a strange sensation come
over you.
