The piece of apple he ingested felt replenishing, so cool and sweet when it ran down his throat. He was so delighted with his lucky find, giving such a content “mmmmm” as he ate it, that he didn’t even notice what was happening as soon as he did. His satisfaction made him blind to the fact that his cheeks were slowly puffing up, his ears elongating upward and becoming more pointed at the ends, the tip of his nose getting rounder and wider. He neglected to notice the spherical bump that steadily rose from the seat of his pants, straining against the fabric. Then, with a great tear that split it vertically down the middle, out sprouted a fluffy, white-and-orange cotton tail resembling that of a rabbit’s.
