Time for a Change – Part 3
#4 of Time for a Change
So, here is the next part. I hope people are enjoying these! It is fun to try and keep them as short and episodic as possible.
Jenny bit her lip as her hand poked at her new additions; first the ears, then the horns. There was no way in hell she was going to be able to go to work like this. There was no way in hell she was going to be able to go out like this. She quickly dialled her boss and put on her best 'I have a cold' voice.
Initially she had a problem getting past the secretary, as her ears were now further from her mouth than before. Thankfully by the time her supervisor came on the line she had worked out a way to cock her ear to be able to make out whoever was talking without sounding too faint herself.
"Hey, Geoff?" she rasped, then gave a couple of coughs. "Jenny here. Yeah...I'm not going to (cough cough) make it in today. Got a bit of a bug." She tried to stop herself from giggling as she realised that this was going to be a good a time as any to call of work for feeling horny. She covered the sound with another cough as Geoff tried to go through the usual ritual of wheedling her to come in. "I...I should be in tomorrow, hopefully," she added, although it was not clear who she was trying to reassure.
Eventually accepting that she was too sick to come in without infecting the office, she finally was able to hang up on her boss. She dropped the phone on the table, made herself some tea, and curled up under a blanket, trying not to feel the fabric against her slightly changed skull.
Teary eyed and still a little headachey Jenny popped up and tried to focus on the TV. She flicked over the the 24 hour news channels to make sure that people were not starting to call in with the same symptoms as she had. Which were...hornyness and dog ears? Was there some sort of medical jargon for that? As the morning dragged on, however, no breaking stories about people turning into animals appeared on the screen.
However, the big, government Event hotline number did keep flashing up. Jenny pondered it as she got up and went to the loo. When she was done she stood in front of the mirror and got a good, close look at herself, turning this way and that. Her ears perked and dropped almost reflexively, and did look kinda adorable...and her horns, when she ran her fingers over them and probed the point where they emerged from her head, did feel quite nice.
A slight bloom of warmth began between her legs, and Jenny flushed heavily. This was no time to think about stuff like that!
