Suddenly awoken by his alarm clock he rolled over and eyed the time. It was 6:30 in the morning he rolled over again after turning the alarm off and went back to sleep only to be woken again not by his alarm, but by someone thumping on his front door. It had been ages since he had seen anyone since the operation, to be exact it had been one and half months. He wondered who and why anyone would want to see him, he had rung everyone he knew and told them that he didn't want any visitors for a certain amount of time, but he gave no reason why, as he walked to door completely naked or as naked as he could be in his current state, he passed the hanging mirror his mother had given to him the day he moved in his house and stopped momentarily to look at what he was, what he had become, he shook his head in stubborn disbelief and continued to the door. He looked through the peephole and out into the brightly lit world beyond and at who was standing at his front door. It was Rourke, one of his best friends, he was one of the first people he called upon being released from the hospital after the failure of the operation, so why was he here, had he forgotten about what he had told him and how he wanted to be left alone, well what ever it was he was about to find out, he slid the dead-bolt on the door with a slight screeching sound as the metal bolt slid out of the wooden door frame and opened the door. He only pulled it open half way, so he could stay within the shadows of the door "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to check in on you man"

"Why? I told you that I don't want visitors at the moment, I'll call you when I want to see you"

"I know what you told me, but I just want to know why, does it have something to do with the experiment you were involved with, did something go wrong, that it isn't it, that's why your hiding away in there isn't it, why your still hiding even from me, come on it can't be that bad, just let me in, let me try to help you?" he moved to go in through the open door only to be stopped by a large fur cladded fist as it rushed past, mere inches from hitting him in the face and impacted on the side of the door frame, only to be pulled back into the shadows of the door as quickly as it had appeared, Rourke stepped back in mixture of surprise, shock and horror "What on god's earth happen to you man"

"I told you on the phone I don't want to talk about it end of story, but I guess seeing as though your here you can come in if you want, but don't ask any questions about the operation or what's happened to me either and if I catch you staring at me I will gouge your eyes out understand"

"Yeah ok man whatever", and he once again stepped over the threshold of the door and into the house this time unopposed, all the lights were off and the blinds closed as he expected seeing as it was so early in the day and Sphinx probably had only just gotten up, Rourke made his way to the living room it was only small but it was still big enough to fit a fair sized entertainment system in and still have enough room to seat at least four or five people, it looked as though it hadn't been use in a while, the room was clean, a little too clean, Rourke paused to remember some of the many nights he had stayed here and watched many a movie and many times passed out on the couch from parties that had gone for just a little too long. The room was usually a mess but now it was spotlessly clean, Sphinx must not have left the house in quite a while, Rourke just hoped that some of his questions would be answered, as he took a seat.

Sphinx had followed behind Rourke as he walked towards the living room but he turned off to the right towards the kitchen "you want something to drink man coffee, tea"

"No I'm ok man all I want is a few small question answered that's all"

He let out a weary sigh "If it has to do with the operation I might as well tell you what I know so you wont be bugging all day and even then I don't know the full story". He made himself a quick cup of tea and went into the living and into the light to show to Rourke what he had become, before the operation Sphinx had stood about 6 foot tall, his parents had named him after the great Sphinx of the Giza necropolis in Egypt he thought it was a stupid name, but that's not everyone else thought, everyone he knew thought it was the coolest name they had ever heard of, he wasn't what one would call stick thin, but neither was he a body builder, he had brown/black hair, hazel eyes and was smart very smart, but not smart enough to see what would happen if the operation was to fail, and because of that almost everything about him had changed now he now stood almost 7 foot tall almost having to duck under the door frames, he now had muscles bulging everywhere, he could now lift weights he normally would have had to ask someone to help him with, he still had his hair thank god but it now was longer, mainly because he hadn't been out for a haircut since and that it grew so quickly he didn't bother to get it cut, and it was very light silvery white in colour and his eyes had changed in both colour and physical appearance, they now looked more like a cats eye green with a expandable slit for a pupil but the largest and most noticeable change was the fact that now he was covered in fur, animal fur. It had the pattern of a white tiger's strips. He had turned into an anthropic, a god damn white anthropic tiger, hell he even had a tail as well. As to how it happen, it had to with a medical research project he was involved with, he had been trying to use animal genes to help fight certain genetic disorders well that's what he was told anyway, and whatever it did to him it left his brain and his mind intact or as far as he knew it had, but there was a major side-effect that being the fact that he turned into a fucking freak, a hybrid, part human, part tiger, he now looked more like a tiger than a human being for now he had a tail, his ears now sat on top of his head, he had claws instead of finger and toenails, a wet nose, whiskers, and his leg bones had become deformed, his femur had shortened slightly and his shinbones increased in length as well as his foot bones so that now he could only walk on his toes like a cat or a dog would, "This is why I called and told you I didn't want you or anyone else to come around". Rourke's jaw dropped and all he could do was stare. "Remember what I told you I would do to you if you started to stare".

Rourke averted he gaze to the ground at Sphinx's feet "Holy shit what the fuck did they do to you man"

Sphinx went over and sat next to Rourke on the couch and placed his mug on the coffee table "Well as far as I know this is a side-effect of the animal gene therapy I received, it somehow mutated me, but I feel no different except that I'm stronger, faster, I have heightened sensory perception, I'm able to see in the dark and I can hear people talking from the end of the street, don't get me wrong its great to have these senses but the fur, the tail, the claws its just creeping me out man, tell me I'm dreaming please god let me but dreaming" he clutched his clawed hands to his head and began to sob, pushing down on the ends of his fingers causing the claws concealed them within to embed themselves deeply into his scalp, blood began seep from the wounds and into his silver hair staining it red, Rourke noticed this and tried to pull Sphinx's hands away form his head, before the operation he would have been able to do this, but now he efforts were futile he had become to strong.

"Dude stop it you're bleeding, come on stop," he continued to yank on Sphinx's arms to get him to stop. Sphinx start to come out of his stress induced panic attack, relaxing his grip on his hands so the he could remove them without pulling the flesh off his head. Blood now flowed more quickly, running down his face staining red paths through his white facial fur, Rourke ran into the bathroom to get some towels when he came back blood had start to drip into Sphinx's lap and onto the chair, he had not noticed this until now, but his best friend had been parading around in front of him completely naked, well he couldn't really say that he was completely naked, for now fur covered every inch of his body and that included areas he did not wish to think about, even though it was covered by the fur he knew it was there, so he through a towel into Sphinx's lap and started to try and stop the flow of blood "Hey man can I ask you something?" he didn't wait for a reply "Why the hell are you not wearing anything?"

"It just feel to uncomfortable to wear clothes the fabric pulls on my fur and I end up with massive balls fur on the inside of all my clothes and its a pain in the butt to get out, so I haven't worn any clothes in about a month and seeing as though I can never go out side again I don't see the point"

"You don't do the whole licking bath thing that cats do, do you"

"I did it once without realizing it and I'll never do it again I was coughing up fur balls for a week, this was the day after the mutations started, it was fast to the set in almost over-night first the teeth" he opened his jaws to show Rourke what he meant his canine teeth had grown a full inch and the incisors at the front had shrunk slightly and had move closer together to make gaps for the canines to slot into "Then the fur, ears, nose and tail" the whole time his tail had been swaying back and forth behind him, it had gone unnoticed until just then when it wrapped itself around Sphinx's left forearm "Christ this thing is annoying its like I don't have full control over it but I'm hoping that I'll be able to in time, I do have limited control over it, but most of the time it just has a mind of its own" as he unrolled his it from his arm and through it behind him where it continued to sway back and forth, he leaned forward and pick up his tea off the coffee table and began to lap at it like a cat, he had been doing this ever since the changes started, but he hadn't noticed, but Rourke did and he start to stare again.

"Um...dude your lapping"

"What?"

"You're lapping your tea man"

"I am" he looked down and realized he was, he jumped in surprise, dropping his drink into his lap, and luckily the towel that Rourke had retrieved was still in his lap and caught most of the drink. He stuck a finger inside his mouth and ran it down his tongue the taste was terrible but the feeling he got from running his finger along his tongue was even worse, it was rough, rough like a cats tongue and at that moment he realized that his normal human behaviors could be being overwritten by the animal DNA, he was acting more and more like an animal as each day passed once he even found himself resisting the temptation to start licking his balls. "Oh shit man you got to help me I'm turning into a fucking wild animal I need to go back into the world, I need to see if people will except me for what I have become"

"You think you're ready for that shock man"

"I'm not as ready as I would like to be, but I need to get out of this house soon or I may start to forget to use the toilet and just start going in the corner, I need out, but first I need some new clothes I've sort of destroyed, torn or ripped all my others either trying to get them on or off and I need them to be loose fitting and I need you go and buy them for me man please, I'm desperate here"

Rourke had no idea what Sphinx was going on about but just nodded his in agreement "Ok man give me your plastic and I'll go and buy your new clothes"

"Thanks man" he ran off to go and find his wallet to get his credit card out of it and ran back to the living room "Here now go" he pulled Rourke up by the arm and half pulled, half dragged him to the front door "And don't tell anyone about what's happened to me please" and he closed the door and went back to the living room to watch some TV to try and take his mind off what was happening to him.
