"...that ten percent of the world's population would turn into anthropomorphic versions of animals and
mythical creatures, and they would rule, with the remaining humans living as their slaves." The air around me
shivered and I smiled, waiting to change and then realized after a few seconds that I hadn't changed, but that
around me there were lion-men, cat-girls, deer-boys, and sundry other "furries" wandering the street.
Additionally I realized that I had what looked like a tattoo of a family crest on the back of my hand, and
that my clothes were significantly scratchier than they were seconds before. "What the..."
I paused, looking around, and saw a haughty looking unicorn male walking down the road, followed by a pair of

receive the Mistress when she gets back." She stepped out and slammed the door behind her, leaving me in a
small changing area with an attached shower. I laughed slightly and looked around as I thought about just what
