Sara had been looking all over town for a present for her good friend Nate and had very little luck. She was stumped as to what to get him. That was when she stumbled upon the "Choose Your Own Change" store. Since Nate had confided in her a love of transformation stories and fantasies, she went in.
She walked into the store and was surprised to find all kinds of shelves and tables covered with all kinds of items and artifacts. Along one of the walls were racks overstuffed with all sorts of costumes. Sara couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.
As if sensing her feeling, an older woman came out of the back room to greet Sara. She had long, curly red hair and wore jeans and a white blouse. She was in the upper 40's, but still looked great. She smiled, seeing Sara and walked over.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked.
"Yes, actually, I'm looking for a birthday present for a friend of mine, except I have no idea what to get him," replied Sara.
"Well, take a look around and see if there is anything that reminds you of him," suggested the woman.
"Thank you," replied Sara. "Oh, what kind of store is this?"
"It's a special store. We sell items, spells, and potions related to transformation," replied the Woman. "Anything in this store will cause the owner to transform in one way or another."
"Seriously?" asked Sara.
"Seriously," replied the Woman. "What is your friend interested in, in the way of transformation?"
"Well, he's always had a thing for werewolves. He also admitted having a thing for mythical creatures, and of course superheroes as well," replied Sara.
"Well, if it is superhero costumes you seek, they are all on the wall over there, one size fits all, I promise." The Woman gestured to the racks of clothing. "Animal and mythological creature related items are over here."
The woman gestured to the opposite wall. "Happy choosing!"
Sara looked around, thinking to herself. On one hand, having a friend who was a superhero would be cool. But then, it'd be exciting to have a werewolf running around town. She walked over to the animal and mythological creature section. There were so many choices. There were racks full of dog collars, which the woman let her know would transform the wearer into a anthro dog of varying species, as dictated by the tag on each. There was also an assortment of slaves and potions to transform the user into various mythological creature. I wouldn't mind seeing Nate as a sexy Satyr, Centaur or Merman she thought. Then she found the werewolf potions, each formulated on what kind of werewolf they wanted to be, bipedal wolf man or four legged werewolf. She then wandered over to the costume section, quickly finding a beautiful Superman costume she knew he'd love.
Decisions, decisions, she thought to herself.
