Hyena
You go through the door, not knowing what was awaiting you on the other side. Once you are fully inside, the door slams shut behind you with a loud slam, making you jump. You quickly turn around and look at the door to realise that it has no handle on this side. You turn back around to see what is in the room. There is not a lot of things inside the room, only an intercom, and a table that has five suits on them. You dismiss them as you continue to aimlessly wonder around the room. Eventually you find a door, but when you try to open it, a label above its frame lights up. It read:
Animals only.
You silently curse to yourself. You are a human being, how can you leave a door that won’t open for humans? As you ponder this thought, a pre-recorded message begins to play on the intercom.
“Congratulations!” The intercom plays before a fanfare. “You have been chosen to try out one of these five suits. These suits are very special.” The intercom cuts out again.
Not knowing what is going on, you speak out the thoughts you have in your mind. You are scared and have had a bit of relief that you have heard another voice that would not just be your own.
“Hello?! Is someone out there?” You exclaim hoping they can get you out. The intercom turns back on once again with the recording.
“These suits are very special as they are experimental. Choose one.” At the moment, it cut out again. You soon realise that it is a recording. You sigh as you go do what the recording said. You go over to the table and look at these suits. You notice that 4 of the suits were a torn up, or missing parts of them. This makes you shudder as your imagination runs wild. What could of happen with the other four suits? You inspect the one that was not damaged. You don’t touch it just yet, but inspect it. It looked big enough for you as it was brown, with stripes that resembled fur. You continue to look it over and notice that it is very detailed. It looks like a hyena, from what you can make out from it.
You began to strip, taking off all your clothing off your body. You look over to the suit, having some second doubts about this. You soon realise that you have no other option. It is either be stuck in the room, or try on the suit to see what happens. You pick up the suit, giving it one more look over before putting it on. At first the suit is too loose for you, but soon it is snug, as if the suit is like normal clothing hugging your skin. Once you fully have the suit on, something unexpected begins to happen. Your skin feels as if it was burning! You begin to itch your skin, until you nearly collapse as a sharp pain catches you off guard. It starts as a sharp pain in your abdomen begins to spread to the rest of your body. It feels as if something was trying to merge to your body.
You began to try to take the suit off with whatever strength you had left, but that soon fades as the pain is just too much for you to bear. You began to blackout. The suit is still merging to your body, molding your body to resemble a hyena’s. Your facial structure begins to change as it resembles less of a humans, and more of a hyena. Your body has changed as well. It begins to have fur all around, sporting the pattern of a striped hyena. Your hands remains relatively the same, while your feet became hyena like, sporting pads at the bottom of them. Pressure begins around your crotch as your genitals began to resemble a hyena’s. You lose your normal ears, but instead you get two fluffy somewhat cute ears. You remain blacked out for one hour before waking up with a groan. You feel no more pain and felt slightly chipper.
“What happened…?” You ask yourself before you look down. You notice the change immediately. You began to freak out not knowing what had happened. The last thing you remember is putting on the suit…
The suit. You immediately look at the table and notice the suit was gone. You chalk up the conclusion that the suit must have fused to your body. Soon afterward, you try to stand. You fail a few times as you try to get used to your new appendages. Once you manage to stand, you look over to your clothes. They do not look like they could fit the new you, pity. You wait to see if the intercom will play a new message, but after five minutes you give up, as you believe that no one had survived this before, thus no more recordings would be played.
You go towards to the door and try to open it. Unlike the last time, the door begins to move. You guess that the door must have recognised you as an animal instead of a human now. You pull the door open, as you see a bright light at the end of the corridor. You rather not stay in this room, as every instinct was telling you not to stick around. You sprint towards the bright light at the end of the corridor.
