didn’t want her?”
“Quit bugging me okay? It’s not my fault I don’t want to date her is it? I didn’t ask for her to tell me she loves me.” He got annoyed when Thomas pointed out the obvious.
“How well do you really know her?” Thomas asked.
“Too well, my friend. She’s been at my house for months now, moaning about her father.”
“Yes, you said that, but what do you know about her besides that?”
“What is there to know besides that? The crazy bastard rules her life.”
Suddenly, a strange tingling started spreading through his body until it reached every part of him. His throat felt dry, even when he took sips from his drink repeatedly, and he felt inexplicable itchy. Thomas watched him coolly as he frantically tried to quench his thirst. He didn’t even flinch when Logan dropped his glass, losing control of his hands. Blackness started to take over his vision, and before long he gave in to it.

When Logan opened his eyes again he was in the park, lying on the ground in a patch of soft grass, and Thomas was sitting on a bench close by. He blinked, and blinked again, squinting against the bright glare of the sun, but he was sure his eyes didn’t deceive him. Logan tried to get up but his body didn’t do what he told it to, and when he tried to call out he could only produce a funny whine, almost like a groan or a muffled bark… unlike any sound he’d ever been able to make before.
“Before you do anything,” Thomas said as he bent closer to him, “you need to listen to me. You wouldn’t have believed me before now, but I’m something like a modern day wizard, and as punishment for making your judgment without getting to know the real Pamela, I’ve changed you into a furry little brown and black dog. But magic, as you might call it, well, it doesn’t always work smoothly and definitely not as you might have planned it. It’s not always kind and gentle that way. Just like life I guess you’d say.”
Logan couldn’t make sense of what his friend was talking about, but slowly the reality of what his friend was saying dawned on him, and he took in his brown paws and the dog sounds that came from his throat when he tried to talk. He still felt strange, having to orientate himself in his current form.
It’d been several minutes yet he still didn’t feel right at home in this new body. He felt dizzy, disoriented… And weird… for lack of a better word, he just felt weird! What is happening to me?
“You don’t know anything at all about Pamela.” Thomas went on. “You’re selfish and clueless and have never really cared about her problems. So here’s your new job, you have to go find her, and find out more about her. Until you can prove that your reaction to who she is, who she really is, is justified, you’ll stay just like you are right now.”
Then Thomas got up, but before he left he told Logan one last thing, “Alright kid, the only way you can reverse this is by proving that you will make sacrifices for her if it comes right down to it. If you don’t, you’ll both be done for.” Then he turned and left, leaving Logan all alone in the park.
As he lay there, new senses flooded Logan’s mind… smells he had never noticed before and sounds he’d never heard. He lay there for a few moments, trying to make sense of everything, trying to stay calm… until he realized that nothing was going to change if he didn’t do something. Anything.
So he managed to get it together enough to sit up on his haunches and look about the park from a completely new vantage point. And then a natural urge that he didn’t have before came upon him and told him which way to go to find her, and a loyalty to her overcame him. So he started walking and after a few steps that changed to a run.
All the new things he was now encountering… overwhelming would have been an understatement. But he kept on moving
