The last gloaming light turns from blue, to amber, to peach, to purple, back to blue again, deeper, darker, and finally black. You can't see many stars here, too much light pollution. But I know they're up there, far above both our skies.
The Moon is out, swollen and full, pale, bright enough to overpower the lights of streets and traffic and office buildings. I moved here for education, for work, for culture, opportunity. I left you behind. You didn't want to move, didn't want to change, content with the life we had in that dying town, empty main street, overgrown baseball field. I left, you stayed, the Moon shines over both of us.
I slip out into the hallway of my apartment, down the back stairwell, out into the alley. Wearing only a robe, barefoot, the soles of my feet soon filthy from the dusty stairs.
I change. My arms lengthen and stretch, shoulder muscles bunch and knot and shift. I untie the robe before my fingers turn to claws and become too clumsy, letting it fall in a soft pile on the ground.
I shiver in the cold air, goosebumps prickling on my arms and shoulders at the sudden exposure, nipples hardening, areolas crinkling. My breasts swell and expand, and I gasp and grab them with my paws, squeezing them pleasurably. A second pair of dark nipples erupts from my stomach below my normal human pair, growing to a petite half-handful, followed by a third pair of smaller, tender buds.
You used to love my breasts when I was human, used to sneak up behind me and cup them in your strong hands, towering over me, breathing on my neck. You used to love them on the Moon night too, running your hands up and down my flanks, feeling each in turn, nipping at them with your teeth and making me growl.
My short brown hair lengthens, coarsens, turning into a shaggy mane, expanding down my muscular back and spreading across my body, soon covering me head to toe in a thick dark fur. The soles of my feet stretch and shift until I'm standing on thick-padded clawed toes, digitigrade.
I feel my soft palate stretch uncomfortably as my nose and lips and mouth grow into a muzzle, my teeth pushing out of my gums, growing into razor sharp fangs. I lick my canines, feeling their points with my long thick tongue
The worst part of the change is always the tail. I wince as I feel my vestigial human tailbone uncurling from in-between my hips, erupting through the skin above the cleft of my round bottom, growing and thickening, filling out with fur and muscle.
I lift my snout to the air and breathe deeply, the smells of human civilization make my nose wrinkle in disgust.
Shit and piss and greywater from the sewage pipes, endlessly flowing like a rotten aquifer below the street. Diesel exhaust and tire rubber from the street one block over. Trash and food waste and fryer oil from the dumpster behind the bar two blocks away. Ozone and printer ink from the office complex three blocks away.
But faintly intertwined, a current of air trickling in from miles away. Sage and grass and earth.
I drop to all fours and stretch, downward-dog style. I start running. A slow steady loping gait on two legs as I slip from dark alley to dark alley, making no sound, easily avoiding people and cars, sensing them by sound and smell long before they can see me.
Soon enough I'm at the edge of the city, the flotsam zone of industrial parks and storage centers, empty lots and freight yards. Then I'm beyond the city lights, in the scrub land where the suburbs haven't yet expanded to fill. I drop down to all fours and pick up speed, claws finding easy purchase in the dry soil, faster and faster until I'm a dark blur on the landscape.
At first I just enjoy the breeze on my fur, the silence of the plains, the clean natural smells filling my big canine nasal cavity. I don't need to think about the first draft of the brief I need to finish tomorrow morning, the partner meeting that I'm presenting in front of, the bag I need to take the laundromat. I empty my mind and run.
I feel my heat growing gradually in my dark, feral cunt, nestled in a thick scruff of fur, pulsing in time with my heartbeat. I have a gnawing hunger, not to eat, but to be filled.
I dimly realize what's happening, what direction I'm heading, only now aware of my instinctive course and destination. I should turn, following the North Star into the mountains. Spend the night hunting deer, smelling pine, tasting blood, the way I usually do on my Moon nights.
But I keep on my current path, running hard, breathing heavy, following an invisible trail back to our hometown. Back to the cracked asphalt of your cul-de-sac with the flickery buzzy street lights. Back to your little house with the peeling paint and the broken garage door. Back to you.
I have so many miles to think about why this is a bad idea, to change my mind, go anywhere else. But I don't. I just run.
I smell your scent from blocks away. Your soap, your aftershave, the unnatural chemical smells that humans cover themselves in. But underneath that your breath, still smelling faintly of the fussy pour over coffee you make for yourself every morning. Your sweat from the bike ride you take after work when the weather is nice.
Your primal masculine musk, barely noticeable to human noses, but powerful and delicious to me, washing over my tongue and snout, sending electricity directly to my cunt, flooding it with arousal and need. I shouldn't be here.
I approach your house from the dry creek bed that runs behind your yard. The light in your kitchen is on, and I see the shadow of your form pass over the window as you move to your living room. I plod slowly to your back door, as if I'm stalking a prey animal. I sniff, whine, scratch at the rusty screen door, then step back into the shadows and sit on my haunches like a dog, waiting.
I could rip the door off its hinges if I wanted, but I'm not here to fight.
I broke one of your coffee mugs once, and felt terrible about it for weeks. I was venting about my shitty job at the Kmart, my sexist manager. You tried to cheer me up by saying he'd retire in a few years, nobody else in town knew the job as well as me, I'd be first in line to take his job.
I didn't want to be the manager at Kmart. I wanted to leave town, go to college, start a real career. I wanted to see people that I didn't see every Goddamn day. I wanted to be in a crowd where nobody knew my name, knew me from high school, knew me from the embarrassing community Easter play when I was seven.
You didn't understand, you loved our town. The narrow street where we would cruise up and down on Friday nights, stopping at the Penguin Drive-Thru at the end of the drag to buy cokes and bullshit with friends in the parking lot. The Fourth of July "parade," where the farmers would put garland on their tractors and drive them through town square, tossing handfuls of Tootsie Rolls out their cabs at the kids. Knowing everyone's name, everyone's lives, everyone's quiet little dramas.
I got mad, said I felt trapped, threw your mug across the room and watched it shatter against the wall in your kitchen. I cried, apologized. You hugged me, said I didn't have anything to apologize for, stroked my hair. It was longer back then, I wore it in a country girl braid.
You walk up to the door, open it a crack, peer out into the darkness of your yard.
"Hello, somebody out there?" You ask.
I wuff softly, trying not to startle you. It doesn't work.
"Jesus fuck!" You almost fall down the three concrete stairs, barely catch yourself on the railing. "...Oh my God, June? Is that you? Shit, it's the full Moon. Get in here before someone sees you! George is probably still up next door, he'll think you're a coyote and shoot you."
I stand up on my hind legs and follow you inside, ducking through the door, half a head taller than you. You take one last searching look outside, then close the door and lock it.
Your house hasn't changed much. Same shitty kitchen with the olive green fridge. Same splintered wood floor that still needs to be refinished. Your stupid cobbled-together pawn shop sound system is still propped up on cinder blocks and two-by-fours. You've got a Magnolia Electric Co. record playing. "
It broke my heart to leave the city,
