You wake up on the bathroom floor. Must've been drunk or something, with the craziest dreams. You stand up , and hear clop sounds, but through the grogginess, you just look in the mirror.
You end up stuttering, at a horrifying sickly sight. Donkey's ears right on top of your head. You reach back behind you without taking your eyes off the mirror. The appendage is still there, hanging and lifting, wrapping around your thigh. The donkey tail. You pull the tail in front of you, feeling the muscles inside, moving them. A movement in the mirror catches your eye and you talk.
"Why have you done this to me?"
The genie wisps into the mirror, standing behind you. He's only in the mirror, not in reality.
"If I don't use my powers frequently on others, I loose them. I can show you everything you need to know to get on with life."
"What have you done to me?" You lean towards the mirror, your ears on top of your head dipping down to correspond.
The genie simply replies, "I made you a were donkey. Haven't you figured out?" He pinches your reflection's ears, and you wince.
"If I'm a were donkey, why do I have these even after the full moon?" You ask, lifting your tail into the air and lowering your ears down flat against your head.
"Just side effects. I can't hide them from regular humans though, but you can probably hide them or, if you can, find a way to hide the ears in your hair or the tail up your shirt, maybe find a duffelcoat." The genie simply says. " I can always give you money to afford. The only true downside is if someone sees you changing on full moon night, you'll be stuck in the form they saw you in for at least a week. Got a hoof? If you don't hide it, you keep it for another week."
"WHat?! Wh-" Pain shoots up and down your spine, and you look behind you to see the genie physically being there, lifting your tail into a painful position. "Please, no.."
"You haven't even noticed, have you?" The genie says, before choking back a giggle. "You're already becoming used to it!" He points at your foot.
You look down and see your feet- no, hooves, there, on the ground. An outstretched foot with one single toenail.
Surprise takes you, and you end up tripping on your hooves, landing painfully on your tail. Finally concluding with the last side effect. No sneezing, screaming, yelling, coughing, or painfully falling on your ASS like a normal person.
"Ehy-AW-eyiAWH Jeez, I wish you could have let meh figger that out myself. " You cough out any soreness in your throat like you've been gagging or choking, a normal person would describe. You just hear yourself, a donkeyman who deems it impossible to get around normally.
"It'll take some getting used to." The genie lifts you up by the waist and puts you back on your hooves again. "There are kids at the orphanage who could use a home. if they wanted, you could come adopt them and they could be...." He stops.
You look at him and just wonder. It'd be nice, having a Lil bundle of joy. Everything else is already crazy anyways. "Yea, of course. That'd be really nice."
"Alright then! If it's okay with you, I'll be driving you around until I can get someone to help you around. In a way, you've helped me out, so I'll be taking care of most of your worries."
Huh. Maybe this won't be so bad. Except I'd be like a woman, having that 'Time of the month' of becoming a donkey.
