I drew the atomized vapor into my lungs, tasting the vanilla and cherry. I held it then exhaled, my body already tingling. The nicotine relaxed away a...l the annoyance of school. I knew school was important, but, damn, it could be stressful. But this... This was heaven. I stared at the green leaves, listening to R. Kelly's crooning. I took another puff as the wind rustled. It was a nice, September day.I exhaled the atomized vapor right into the face of my younger sister, Jenny.I jumped in shock,. Flint drove. Vince was the eleven-year-old boy that Darla was helping by paying his hospital bill. He was an orphan. Both his parents had been killed in the accident that had injured him. David also wanted to meet Greta Simms, the family's charity operative at the hospital. They left George with Janice, who had agreed to tend the boy and put him down for the night."How is Janice as a housekeeper?" David asked his sister just before they arrived at the hospital."She's a better housekeeper than. It was weird for her to feel her tail and move it like a hand and drag it through the hole in her shorts, it felt humiliating.She remembered when her father used to say that if he could he will kill all the mutts. Jessica herself, hated mutts so much... , I can’t think about all those things now ... maybe some other time.She stood in front of Greg, trying to control her anxiety.Greg ran his hand slowly over her tail inspecting her as if she was an object. She shuddered a little whenever he ran. The pillows seemed bigger as well. The whole roomseemed to have grown slightly.All these thoughts rushed at him at once, overwhelming his senses. Thephone was still ringing. He reached out his hand to answer it.What the... Shit!His hand was different. It was smaller and more delicate, and had muchlonger fingernails than he had yesterday. It wasn't "his" hand. He lookedat his arm. It was absurdly slender with sparse soft downy fair hair, andthe skin was much smoother and somewhat darker toned.
