But this time, I didn't go into its belly. Instead, I drifted over to its sweet open mouth and went in. The inner anatomy of the beauty was different from human, because from the top of the throat I pushed my way upward into the head cavity, where a brain would be in a human. There, I split myself into two parts--still connected, but distinct. Two little balls of fire. As these two, I nestled myself into the eye sockets, and took it. I took the beauty. And suddenly I was in there--in that wonderful body. And I knew my name was no longer Nancy Smollan, but Trulufog. And as Trulufog--"Truly", I think I'll call myself--I opened my incandescent eyes and felt the cold, wet grass beneath me. I stood up, shakily at first. The structure of this body was still sorting itself out. It felt still and off-balance. So I started walking--limping really--all naked and wonderful in the magic of the night--the night I was now made of. At that point, I was really wondering whether or not I'd ever need to return to my unacceptable human form. I sure hoped not. But like I keep saying, it was the first night, and there was a lot I didn't know. After walking around a bit, I started to feel a little more integrated and well-oiled. I got to a little lake or pond or something, and looked at myself in it. Wow. Just like I imagined--a majestic shadow--the epitome of feminine beauty--with two deep amber/orange glowing eyes. Cool. Really cool. I tried to fly for the next few minutes, but it just wasn't happening. I thought that as a part of the night, I should be able to fly up into it. But it was a no-go. I could leap pretty far into the air--20 or 30 feet--but I couldn't fly. Oh well, can't ask for everything. And during the whole blooming that night, I had this strong feeling that I was way out of bounds, that it shouldn't be happening, that no one knew about it, that I was totally on my own. That stabbing, that pioneering, felt good. I started walking toward downtown Mav Saptax then. My bare feet could feel very nuance of every speck of everything on the ground, but the night I was made of was pliant and durable--kind of like rubber. It felt kind of weird, but I knew I wasn't going to get cut or anything. Even walking over broken glass, like I did a few times, was nothing to worry about. I wandered, amazed how easy it was to avoid detection. So many dark places to blend into--the only way I could be seen was in front of a well-lit something. And even in moderately-lit areas, I was all but invisible. Except for my eyes, that it. It was late, but being a college town, there were still some folks about. A few people definitely saw my eyes, but like I said, they might have stood in wonder for a few seconds, but they resisted the temptation to investigate further. At one point, I myself thought I saw two glowing eyes--light blue/cyan ones. I'm pretty sure I did. But it was no use--I tried to follow them, but there was nothing there. Was it another being like me, awakened by the change in reality? I guess it must have been, but I didn't let it bother me too much. I was already hot and bothered--the prospect of losing my virginity--even if it was to be in this new body, was thrilling me. How to do it, though--how to hide the weirdness of this body... A blind guy? Nah. Too hard to find, and not much fun. A drunk guy? Yeah. The next day, he'd have to doubt his memories. So I headed for a part of town I was pretty sure had a bunch of bars and clubs. I felt ashamed of it--of looking for sex right away in this glorious new body--but I just had to prove to myself that indeed it was my body--my human body--and not ME--that kept me from the loving arms of a man. -------> ------------------- ----------- -------- -- -----
