For all of that, the true horror was in watching Jim become-something else. His torso stretched and reshaped-his legs bent and re-jointed, and his fur burst forth into feathers. He began to thrash wildly, knocking over tables and chemicals and Rick was forced to wheel Miranda into the back room. They stayed huddled back there for over an hour as Jim's body continued to mutate. His screams had stopped, apparently he had mercifully passed out, but his body continued to change wildly. Only when it was silent did Rick push the door open slowly. He saw a huge shape standing in front of the mirror looking at itself. Rick picked up a lamp and plugged it in. The thing that used to be Jim spun around. Rick gasped.
As before, Jim had kept his face. The rest of him was entirely different. From his head jutted two huge horns and large cow-ears. The top of his head had a large red chicken's comb that blended into perfectly white feathers . He had a long, graceful chicken neck that merged into a chicken torso. So far he looked like a huge chicken with Jim's face…but then the other species made itself known. Starting at his enormous chicken breasts, a huge udder jutted. It had four huge nipples and swept back between his two legs-cow-legs, but slightly reshaped to hold his new body. Rick thought he could see the udder begin to swell with milk production. Two large splayed hands that seemed halfway between human and bird swept down to cover his enormous tits. The thing clucked/lowed mournfully.
"Rick….what am I….gonna do? I'm…a freak!"
Rick was about to reply when.
