“Fair’s fair, dude,” I said. “You bet me you’d sink more baskets, and you lost. Time to pay up.”
“Pay up how?” Mark looked confused. “You want money?”
I laughed. “No, monkey. I want your humanity.”
“How…” His voice trailed off as fur grew over his body, and he started to shrink. “Wait … what’s happening to me?”
“You lost,” I said. “You lost the contest, and you lost your humanity.”
He grunted in fear, staring at his body as it got smaller. A furry tail appeared over his gym shorts. “No … oook ook ook – please no!” he exclaimed. “Dude! I’m turning into a monkey!”
“You’ve always been a monkey,” I said, standing over him. His pants fell from his smaller, furry body, and he stared up at me with a dumb fearful expression as his ears got bigger and rounder. “You’ve always been a dumb little primate. Now you look the part.”
Looks like guy-Kotep ran into the wrong end of a bit of brutification! Don’t worry, you don’t need a whole lot of brainpower once you’re big and prehistoric like that. Besides, you can even get work at the La Brea museum as an exhibit!
Done by rubberskunkadditionally, decided to get something nice since I had plenty of money. Was super neat to watch it come to life!
What a handsome boy he turned out to be! Who’s a handsome boy? Who’s a handsome boy?
