I ran across an earnest "how to write a transformation story" posting earlier today, and decided to go diametrically against its advice.  So here's a transformation story where the transformation gets just about as short a shrift as I can manage.  I was going to try to make it even less remarked on, but found I couldn't quite ignore it entirely...  (And then the end scene jumped me and... yeah, there may be a sequel.  We'll see.)
