This story is currently in early access on my Patreon and will come to DA on July 2nd.  Marie should have left this pendant in the museum instead of taking it out on her date.

             She dropped her fresh goodies onto the ground and grabbed her head. “My ears.”

She ran her hands along her head. “How did they become so long and floppy. And so fuzzy?” She twitched her new giant ears. “What am I going to do?” Marie picked up her veggies. “This is not good.” She hopped towards the front of the store. “I think I am just hallucinating.”

             “Holy hell?” The store owner slammed the small itch remedy bottle down onto the counter. “What happened to your ears?”

             She dropped the green goods onto the blue table and covered her head. “Nothing.

You don’t see anything, ok. Now ring me up.”

             He didn’t take his eyes off her as he scanned her items. “How are you going to pay for all this?”

             “My credit card. And stop staring. Haven’t you seen anyone with bunny ears before?” She wiggled her nose as her ears grew even longer. “It is perfectly normal, I say.”

             He looked at the register. “I’m sorry, ma’am. I didn’t know you were going to some costume party tonight.”

             “I am not going to any party.” She took a deep breath as the itching intensified across her body. “Look here, take my card. I just need to take my goods and get out of here, ok.” She scratched at her legs. “I am not doing that swell anymore.”

             He just nodded his head. “Ok, everything is good. Do you want a bag?”

             Marie shook her head as she picked everything up and munched on one of the carrots. “I am good. Don’t have time for a bag.” She hopped towards the sliding glass door. “I need to go. Bye.”

             He scratched at his head. “Umm, bye.”
