The Neigh of Night!:

The last thing Bryan remembered was the smell of hay—dry and sweet, sticking to his sweat as he sprawled across the stable floor. His phone screen blinked 2:17 AM before dying in his hand.

When he kicked the stable door, it didn't budge. Not even a rattle. The wood was thick, old, groaning under his weight when he threw his shoulder against it. He would be completely unaware as his feet were starting to change into hooves.

Bryan stumbled back, rubbing his aching arm, and his fingers brushed something rough along his forearm. He squinted in the dark. Hair? Thick, coarse, like bristles from a— His breath hitched. A sharp cramp twisted through his legs, doubling him over as something cracked audibly in his knees.

The scent of damp earth flooded his nose suddenly, overpowering the hay. He gagged, clutching his stomach, then froze as his palm smacked against something hard protruding from his shin. Not bone. Not human. The beam of moonlight streaking through the loft revealed a glint of keratin. A hoof.

Bryan screamed, but the sound tore ragged from his throat—half bray, half human panic. His jeans split with a sickening rip as his calves ballooned, tendons snapping like overtuned guitar strings. He collapsed onto all fours, fingers splaying wide… then fusing, skin hardening into dark, leathery pads. he would try to stand but finding it harder to stand up right. He would attempt to get the lock on the other side to be unlock but his hands slowly changing into hooves.

His tongue felt foreign in his mouth—too wide, too flat—and when he gasped, saliva strung thick between his lips like a horse's bridle. The taste of iron flooded his mouth; his teeth were loose, shifting, canines elongating against his will. A wet crunch echoed in his skull as his jaw unhinged slightly, widening with every ragged breath.

Bryan lurched toward the stable door again, but his spine arched unnaturally, forcing his head downward, his vision tunneling to the hay-strewn ground. His shirt strained against his broadening shoulders before seams popped, fabric slithering down his now-sloped back. He tried to yell for help, but all that escaped was a guttural whinny, the sound reverberating off the barn walls like a taunt. He could feel his penis and balls changing. He would panic more but his vocal cords are changing and he is loosing the ability to speak.

His fingers—no, his forelegs—scrabbled at the latch, but the dexterity was gone, the hooves blunt and useless against the rusted metal. A spasm wracked his torso, his ribcage expanding with a series of sickening pops, and suddenly the stall felt suffocatingly small. His tailbone itched violently, then erupted in a surge of wiry hair as something long and sinewy lashed out behind him, thumping against the wooden walls.

The pain in his groin was white-hot, his screams reduced to strangled snorts as his anatomy rearranged itself, flesh pulling taut, shrinking, merging into something streamlined and animal. His last coherent thought was of his mother calling him for dinner—how ordinary, how cruel—before his mind fractured under the weight of instinct, his nostrils flaring at the scent of oats and damp straw.

His forelegs scrabbled uselessly against the door, splinters digging into keratin as his hind legs pistoned without coordination, kicking up clods of dirt. The barn walls seemed to shrink, pressing in as his body stretched, his spine elongating like taffy until his mane—when had that grown?—brushed the ceiling beams. A shudder ran through him, muscles rippling under a coat of dappled gray that glistened with sweat.

The transformation wasn’t silent. Each snap of cartilage, each wet slide of muscle, echoed like a grotesque symphony. Bryan—or what was left of him—tossed his head, ears flicking toward the loft where moonlight pooled. Strange, how clearly he could hear now: the scuttle of mice in the rafters, the distant hoot of an owl, the rhythmic creak of the barn settling. His vision blurred at the edges, colors leaching away until everything was a haze of blues and grays, but the shapes... they were sharper, more defined.

His body moved without permission. One moment he was heaving against the door, the next he was pacing the stall in tight circles, hooves striking the packed earth with a hollow, rhythmic clop. The urge to run—no, to bolt—thrummed through him, electric and undeniable. But the stall walls held him captive, and with a frustrated snort, he reared back, striking the wood with his forelegs. The impact shuddered up his limbs, painless but jarring, and the door groaned but held firm.

His nostrils flared as a new scent cut through the hay and sweat—something sharp, herbal. A rusted bucket in the corner held water, the surface rippling as his muzzle dipped toward it. The reflection staring back was monstrous: elongated face, dark eyes rolling white with panic, ears twitching like live things. He jerked away, but the scent of the water pulled him back, and before he could resist, his tongue—thick and clumsy—lapped at it greedily. The taste was alien yet familiar, like something half-remembered from a dream. He was now a male horse in every way.

A draft whistled through the cracks in the barn walls, carrying the distant whinny of another horse. His head snapped up, ears pricked forward. The sound tugged at something deep in his chest, a response he couldn’t control. A whinny tore from his own throat, high and desperate, and the answering call that came back was closer this time. Hoofbeats thudded outside, circling the barn. Bryan—no, the horse—pawed at the ground, dirt flying as adrenaline surged through him. The door rattled suddenly, not from his own efforts, but from something outside. Something big. But the changes aren't done yet as the barn now had to many Male horses. So Bryan in his male stallion horse form would be turn into a female mare form.

His body shuddered violently, muscles seizing as another wave of transformation wracked him. His flanks narrowed, his chest tightening as his mane thickened and softened into silken strands. The pain in his groin returned, sharper this time, his anatomy twisting inward, reshaping with brutal efficiency. He let out a shrill scream that morphed into a mare’s panicked whinny, his hind legs kicking out instinctively as his tail—longer now, swishing with a mare’s grace—lashed the air.

Outside, the hoofbeats grew louder, more insistent, accompanied by the deep, guttural snorts of a stallion. The barn door trembled under the force of something massive throwing its weight against it, the wood groaning like a living thing. Bryan—no, she—reared back, her new instincts screaming at her to flee or submit, but the stall offered no escape. The scent of the other horse flooded her nostrils, musky and overwhelming, triggering a primal response that made her legs quiver. By morning she would be the farms new Breeding mare.

The door burst open with a splintering crack, moonlight silhouetting the massive stallion that filled the doorway. His coat gleamed like wet obsidian, nostrils flared wide as he scented her fear. She backed into the corner, her hooves skidding on the straw, but he advanced with deliberate, possessive strides. His teeth bared in something between a threat and a promise, and when he nipped at her flank, the sharp pain sent a confusing surge of heat through her. She tried to scream again, but all that came out was a high, trembling whinny—part protest, part something else entirely.

His breath was hot against her neck, his weight pressing her against the stable wall as his teeth closed gently on her mane. She could feel the power coiled in his body, the way his muscles trembled with restraint. Every instinct told her to run, but her legs wouldn't obey, locking beneath her as if her bones had turned to stone. The scent of him—sweat, leather, something wild and earthy—filled her lungs until it was all she could think about. She hated it. She hated how her body arched into his touch.

Morning came with a slow, cruel clarity. The farmhands found her curled in the straw, tail flicking nervously as she lifted her head—long face, soft brown eyes, the delicate curve of her nostrils. They didn't recognize her. Why would they? To them, she was just another mare, one they'd somehow missed during last night's headcount. The stallion was gone, but the ache between her legs remained. She tried to speak, to scream, but her tongue was heavy, useless. The lead rope snapped around her neck as one of the men chuckled, "Looks like we got a new breeder, boys."

The seasons turned. Foals came, one after another, each birth a fresh humiliation. Her body obeyed instincts she couldn't silence—nuzzling newborns, nickering to the herd, flinching when the stallion mounted her. By the third year, her human memories had frayed like old rope. Sometimes, staring at the barn's rafters, she'd catch a flicker: a boy's laughter, the glow of a phone screen, the taste of something called pizza. But then a foal would nip at her flank, or the stallion would scent her heat, and the thoughts would scatter like spooked birds.

The farmhands called her "Old Gray" when she slowed, her dapples fading to white. One autumn morning, as frost cracked underhoof, they led her to the back pasture—the one with the single oak. The gunshot echoed once. For a split second, in the space between the trigger pull and the bullet's impact, Bryan remembered everything: his name, his mother's face, the way sunlight used to feel on human skin. Then nothing.

Years later, a city boy on a school trip wrinkled his nose at the taxidermy mare in the county museum. "Looks creepy," he muttered, poking at the glass case. Inside, the mounted horse's glass eyes reflected nothing—just the flicker of fluorescent lights above. The curator's plaque read simply: "Barn Mare, circa 1990s. Donated by Willowbrook Farm." Behind him, a girl gasped as something in the exhibit moved—just a trick of the light, surely—but for a heartbeat, the mare's ears had twitched toward the sound of children's laughter.

The farm changed hands seven times before collapsing into the earth. Teenagers dared each other to enter the rotting barn at midnight, swearing they heard hooves pacing the foundation. One insisted she'd seen a dappled gray mare watching from the tree line, eyes too knowing for an animal. When the developers bulldozed the last standing wall, the foreman found a single item beneath the hayloft: a rusted phone, its screen frozen at 2:17 AM, battery long dead. He tossed it into the dumpster without a second thought.

The Farm hand goes Moo:

The blood dripped onto the straw before Courtney even felt the sting. She stared at her palm, watching the thin red line well up in slow disbelief. "Damn it," she muttered, shaking her hand once like the motion could fling the pain away. The milking machine hummed innocently beside her, its steel claw still damp with udder wash.

She grabbed a dirty rag from the hook—streaked with yesterday's manure—and pressed it against the cut. The cows shifted in their stalls, tails flicking at flies. One snorted wetly, nudging Courtney's hip with a warm, damp nose as if asking why the routine had stalled.

Out in the pasture, the morning heat was already thickening the air, carrying the sweet-rot smell of trampled grass and cow piss. Courtney kicked at a clump of dirt, her boot leaving a sharp imprint. The gash throbbed now, a pulse that synced with her heartbeat. Something felt off—not the pain, but the way the blood kept seeping, darker than it should be. She would start to have strange cravings and urges. Her cut would be slowly self healing itself.

She wiped her hand on her jeans, leaving a rusty smear. The cows had gathered near the fence line, their usual lazy grazing replaced by tense stillness. One lifted its head, nostrils flaring wide as it sniffed the wind. Courtney frowned. They weren’t reacting to her; their ears twitched toward the tree line beyond the north pasture, where the oaks hunched like old men keeping secrets.

Her tongue felt thick, dry. She swallowed hard, craving something she couldn’t name—something cold and rich. The cut pulsed again, and when she peeked under the rag, the skin was knitting together in jagged ridges, too fast. A metallic taste flooded her mouth. Fear prickled up her spine, but beneath it buzzed a dark, eager hunger. Her IQ was slowing down. Her Speech was starting to slur. But she would think everything is fine. But her new cravings and urges are intensified.

The cows lowed uneasily, backing away from the fence in a shuffling wave. Courtney’s boots crunched over brittle grass as she moved toward them, drawn by the thrumming of their jugulars beneath their spotted hides. Her fingers twitched. Saliva pooled under her tongue. The rational part of her screamed to run, but her legs carried her forward, stepping over the electric wire like it was nothing. She would join the other cows on this side of the fence. Her skin felt tight, hot. The air smelled suddenly sharp, layered with the musk of sweat and the iron tang of something alive. She would feel the urge to get down onto all fours. She would look at the grass and without thinking she would take a bite and find it tasting good.

She would start to eat more. But she would be unaware as her hands and feet are turning into cloven hooves. She would also start to gain the same body weight of a cow as her clothes rip apart leaving her butt naked.

Courtney crouched in the grass, her fingers sinking into the damp earth as she ripped up clumps with a ravenous intensity. The blades tasted like copper and sunlight, bursting between her teeth in a way that made her groan with satisfaction. Her shirt strained across her back—fabric popping stitches along her shoulders—but she barely noticed, too consumed by the hot, gnawing need in her gut.

The cows had formed a loose circle around her now, their wide black eyes reflecting her hunched form. One—a speckled heifer with a torn ear—snorted and stamped, nostrils flaring as Courtney swallowed another mouthful of dirt-streaked greens. Her knees cracked as she shifted, the sound wet and wrong, but the discomfort melted beneath a wave of dull, pleasant numbness. Her arms and legs becoming more like fore legs and hind legs. Her breasts would start to grow in size as it would then form two more breasts underneath her breasts. Her nipples are becoming cow teats.

Her jeans split up the seam with a sound like tearing parchment, the denim falling away from her thickening thighs as a strange, weighty pressure built at the base of her spine. Courtney gasped around a mouthful of clover, her tongue lapping at the air as something long and bristled twitched between her shoulder blades—a tail, still slick with something thick and translucent. The heifer stepped closer, lowering its head to sniff at the gleaming fluid, its warm breath huffing against Courtney’s bare, mottling skin. Her skin would start to develop a black and white spotted pattern. The skin is turning into hide.

A shudder racked her body, and she collapsed forward onto her elbows—no, not elbows anymore, the joints bulging and hardening into knobby forelegs. The grass crushed beneath her weight, releasing a heady, fermented scent that made her nostrils flare. Her jaw ached, teeth grinding as her molars broadened into flat, grinding plates. She tried to speak, to scream, but all that emerged was a guttural moan, deep and resonant as the wind through a hollow log.

Her four breasts would start to move down her body as they merge and change to become her udders.

Courtney's spine arched violently as tendons snapped and reformed, her human torso elongating into the barrel-chested shape of a dairy cow. The remnants of her shirt hung in tattered strips over her swelling hide, the black-and-white patches spreading like spilled ink across her skin. She tried to stand, but her cloven hooves slipped in the mud, her new tail lashing wildly as she fought for balance. The heifer pressed its damp muzzle against Courtney's trembling flank, a low, comforting rumble vibrating through her bones.

Blood pounded in her temples, her skull reshaping with grotesque pops that echoed inside her head. Her vision blurred—colors dulling, edges sharpening—as her pupils stretched into horizontal slits. The world smelled richer now, layered with the tang of ripe manure and the sweetness of clover crushed beneath her own weight. A warm gush of fluid seeped from her swollen udders, dripping onto the trampled grass as her hips widened with final, sickening cracks. She would start to follow the other cows now. her body was continuing to change as she was slowly becoming another cow within the herd.

Her tail flicked instinctively at a fly, the motion effortless, ingrained. The heifer nudged her again, guiding her toward the grazing herd with insistent pushes of its broad forehead. Courtney's thoughts swam in thick syrup, human memories dissolving like sugar in hot milk. There was grass. There was the sun. There was the herd. She moaned, low and resonant, her tongue rolling over the sound as if she'd known it forever. Her skin would itch as her black and white spotted hide would thicken into a cow's hide. The last remnants of her clothing would fall off as her tail would start to lash away flies. Her vagina and butthole move to the proper area of a cow as this happened it sealed her fate as she was now just another Bovine on the farm both physically and mentally.

Courtney's udder swayed heavily between her hind legs, taut with the first rush of milk. The pressure was immense, insistent—a need more urgent than hunger or thirst. She stumbled after the heifer, her hooves sinking into the soft earth with each step. The other cows parted for her, their warm bodies brushing against her flanks, their earthy scent wrapping around her like a blanket. She didn't notice the farmer approaching the fence, his boots kicking up dust as he squinted at the new black-and-white shape among his herd. She would start to rub her head against the grass as she would start to chew her cud as her stomach was now properly working like a cows stomach. She would start to feel at peace with her transformation and her new life.

The Farmer would come to collect the cows to bring them back to the barn for sleep. By morning the female cows are lead to the other barn for daily milking. Courtney now among them as she would be getting milk for the first time.

The farmer’s callused hands moved with practiced ease as he hooked her up to the milking machine, her swollen udders throbbing in time with the suction’s rhythmic pull. Warm milk hissed through the tubes, the relief so intense it made her knees buckle. She didn’t remember standing on two legs—only the sweet ache of full teats and the mechanical hum that emptied them.

Years blurred under the barn’s fluorescent lights, seasons marked by the cycle of breeding and calving. The farmer’s grandchildren would giggle, petting her spotted hide during school visits, never noticing how her eyes—once human—lingered on their lunchboxes. But even that flicker of recognition faded, drowned out by the contentment of cud between her teeth and the weight of a calf nuzzling her flank.

The farm expanded, She produce the best quality of milk that she was also added to the breeding barn. She would give birth to more cows that made the same type of milk as she did.

Years passed, and the farm became famous for its uniquely rich milk, though no one could explain why Courtney's lineage produced such a coveted product. Veterinarians took samples, marketers slapped artisanal labels on the bottles, but the truth remained buried in the pasture where a woman's blood had once soaked into the earth. Courtney—now just cow #714—Cassie grazed placidly, her swollen udders swaying as she lumbered toward the milking parlor for the thousandth time.

The farmer’s grandson, now running the operation, installed a bronze plaque above her stall: Our Foundation Cow. Tourists snapped photos, oblivious to the dark irony. At night, when the barn was silent except for chewing and the occasional swish of a tail, Cassie would sometimes lift her head, nostrils flaring at the scent of rain on wind. A fleeting, wordless ache would pass through her—something like nostalgia, though she no longer had the mind to name it.

Read before Signing:

Jacob's fingers drummed against the chipped laminate of the diner counter, keeping time with the pop song crackling through the overhead speakers. The syrup-stained napkin in front of him bore the remnants of last night's failed lyrics—crossed-out lines and coffee rings obscuring more words than they preserved. His reflection in the stainless-steel coffee pot showed dark circles under his eyes, the kind that came from too many open mic nights and not enough paychecks.

His stomach would gurgle. He would start to transform as he would take on the best features to become the ultimate Female Pop star.

The stranger slid into the cracked vinyl booth opposite him, smelling like expensive cologne and burnt sugar. "That chorus needs work," the man said, tapping Jacob's napkin with a manicured fingernail. "But the raw talent's there. I can make you unforgettable." The contract appeared between them like a magic trick—thick vellum paper with embossed lettering that caught the fluorescent light. The Stranger laugh as he took the contract and welcome Jacob to the big times but calling him by his new name.

Jacob didn't realize his hands were signing until the pen scratched the final flourish. The moment the ink dried, his gut twisted like someone had yanked a corset string tight. His vision swam as his ribs shifted with an audible creak, shirt fabric suddenly loose then tight again across newly narrowed shoulders. "What the—" The protest died in his throat as his vocal cords fluttered, his voice emerging halfway through the sentence as a startled soprano.

Across the table, the stranger—no, his new manager—grinned like a carnival barker watching the rubes line up. "Meet Jasmine Kade," he purred, sliding a business card toward Jacob's trembling fingers. The embossed text glittered under the diner lights: STARLIGHT RECORDS. Jacob tried to stand, but the boots he'd worn for years suddenly pinched as his feet reshaped themselves inside them. He caught his reflection in the napkin dispenser: high cheekbones, fuller lips, a delicate jawline still mid-transformation.

The vinyl seat groaned as he collapsed back down, hands flying to his throat where his Adam's apple used to be. "What... what did you do to me?" The words came out breathy, honey-smooth—a voice tailor-made for radio. His manager chuckled, producing a compact mirror from his breast pocket. Jacob—Jasmine now—gaped at the face staring back: smoky-eyed, flawless skin, with a cascade of caramel waves tumbling past shoulders that had narrowed into elegant slopes.

A searing heat bloomed between his legs as his anatomy rearranged itself with terrifying efficiency. He doubled over, knocking the coffee pot onto the floor where it shattered against the checkerboard tiles. The diner's few patrons barely glanced up; to them, it was just another drunk dropping dishes. His manager snapped his fingers, and suddenly the pain vanished, replaced by an eerie lightness. "Better check your back pocket, darling," he murmured, sliding a demo tape across the table.

Jacob fumbled for his wallet—pink leather now, stitched with rhinestones—and found a driver's license with his new face grinning beside the name JASMINE KADE. Birthdate unchanged, gender marker decisively F. The license trembled in his manicured nails as he noticed something else: the expiration date matched the contract's twelve-year term. Distant laughter bubbled up from his transformed vocal cords, bright and melodic despite the horror coiling in his gut.

Outside the diner window, a billboard flickered to life with his—no, her—face twenty feet tall, advertising Jasmine Kade's "debut single" next month. The manager dusted nonexistent lint from his sleeve. "Soundcheck's in two hours. Don't be late." He left Jacob staring at the sudden swell of breasts beneath his now-fitted blouse, the demo tape's label gleaming with a title: "Contractually Yours." The first notes of the song already hummed in his throat, unbidden.

His phone buzzed—a vintage pink flip model he'd never owned—with a text from "Mom ♡": Can't wait to hear my girl on the radio tonight! Jacob's breath hitched. He had no mother, just a stack of foster home paperwork buried in a storage unit. Scrolling further revealed years of fabricated selfies: Jasmine blowing kisses at concerts, backstage with other pop stars whose names triggered perfect memories of shared dressing-room gossip. His stolen past ached like a phantom limb.

The diner door chimed. Three teenagers gaped, one smearing lipstick on her phone case as she whispered, "Oh my god, it's her." Jacob instinctively flashed a professionally coy smile, his body moving with polished grace as he—she—signed a napkin in looping cursive. The girls' squeals echoed as the manager's limousine purred to the curb, its interior smelling of hairspray and the acrid promise of studio lights. The demo tape's chorus pulsed behind his eyes: I signed the dotted line, now every note is mine...

A sharp cramp bent Jacob double again as his hips finished their widening tilt, the waistband of his jeans digging into newly carved curves. The manager tossed a garment bag onto the seat beside him, unzipping it just enough to reveal sequins catching the morning light. "Twelve years starts now, sweetheart." Jacob's scream came out as a perfect high C, the sound so polished it barely shook the champagne flutes waiting in the limo's mini-fridge.

Blinking against sudden eyelashes that brushed his—her—cheeks, Jacob watched his fingertips pluck at the blouse buttons automatically, nails glossed candied-apple red. The demo tape's bassline throbbed in time with his pulse, the melody weaving itself into stray thoughts until he caught himself mentally harmonizing with the diner's jukebox. His reflection in the limo window showed teeth too white, lips too full, a beauty mark perfectly placed beneath one eye like punctuation on a punchline.

The first paparazzo appeared at the intersection, camera flash freezing Jacob mid-transformation—one hand clutching the garment bag, the other pressed against the glass in something too elegant to be panic. The manager murmured into a headset, "Stage the Twitter leak," as Jacob's phone buzzed with notifications from fans he'd supposedly had for years. Hashtags bloomed: #JasmineSighting #KadeIsComing. His tongue traced unfamiliar lipstick as phantom muscle memory guided him into a practiced wave.

By the time the limo merged onto the freeway, Jacob could feel the studio audience's anticipation like static in his bones, their cheers already imprinted in his temporal lobe. The demo tape clicked into playback, its bridge revealing the cruelest trick yet—the lyrics chronicled every step of his morning in shimmering detail, right down to the way his silver earrings (when had those appeared?) trembled against his neck. The final chorus dripped with honey as the billboards outside began multiplying, his face singing back at him from every overpass.

Twelve years later, Jasmine Kade would step off the Grammy stage clutching her seventh consecutive Best Pop Vocal Album award, the contract's expiration date ticking down in her diamond-studded watch. Her manager—older now, but still smelling of burnt sugar—would press a familiar vellum document into her hands backstage, this one promising permanence. The crowd's roar would crest as she uncapped the pen, her signature looping effortlessly beneath the stage lights, the first flawless note of her next lifetime already rising in her throat.

But today, Jacob's—Jasmine's—fingertips found the limo's intercom button, pressing it with nails that had never known a guitar callus. "I want to see the contract again," she demanded, surprised when her voice didn't waver. The partition slid down just enough for the manager to pass back a single sheet, its clauses now swimming with visible ink: vocal range adjustments, muscle memory implants, a sub-section on involuntary heel proficiency.

Jasmine's laughter echoed through the champagne-chilled air, richer than anything pre-contract Jacob could've produced, as she tore the document down the middle with her French-tipped nails. "I'm keeping these," she announced, shaking the rhinestone-laden shreds at her bewildered manager while the limo merged into the Hollywood-bound traffic. Outside, billboards flickered between her old male face and the glittering icon she'd become—before settling permanently on Jasmine mid-chorus, legs impossibly long in a sequined bodysuit.

Back at the studio, technicians gasped as Jasmine strutted past the green room without stopping, her custom heels clicking a staccato rhythm toward the live mic. The first ad-libbed note soared above her pre-written lyrics, bending the song into something raw and new as cameras caught the exact moment her manager's confident smirk faltered. By the final refrain, Jasmine had rewritten the bridge in real-time, the words "terms and conditions" transformed into a defiant growl that sent the audience's hands skyward like a revival tent.

Twelve years to the day after signing, Jasmine stood alone in her Malibu closet—surrounded by gold records and size-zero couture—smiling at the unsigned renewal contract curling at the edges in her palm. The morning sun caught the diamond "J" hanging at her throat as she lit the document with a monogrammed lighter, watching flames eclipse the fine print forever. Her assistant's panicked call about missed rehearsals went unanswered as Jasmine finally freed a lyric from Jacob's old diner napkin, setting it to a melody no contract could contain.
