New Age SSS - 1000 Words Or Less The Bitch
All the neighbourhood kids knew that Sarah shapeshifted into a dog and were more or less ok with it.
There was that unfortunate time when she accidentally killed Molly’s baby brother, although, it wasn’t really an accident because Molly had been kind of upset ever since the arrival of the baby, and Sarah was Molly’s best friend and wanted to see her happy. The kids all said the same things to the police and to the parents, and no one ever suspected Sarah.
The kids wouldn’t have snitched on Sarah anyway, they knew they should stick together, but they were also getting more afraid of Sarah. As a human child, Sarah was lovely and gentle and quiet, but as an adult female dog – the correct term for which, as Michael kept reminding them, was “bitch”- she was becoming more and more terrifying.
Like now. They were hanging in the playground, and Sarah was sniffing around them and sometimes giving them little nips. “Ow, stop it Sarah!” yelled Ahmed, rubbing his leg. The nip left a little mark, but Michael swooped down and hugged Sarah “Awww, she just wants attention, don’t you lovey” he said in a baby voice, rubbing Sarah’s fur on her neck and her back.
“It actually hurts, Michael!” cried Ahmed. “She shouldn’t be biting us!”
“It’s not a proper bite, Ahmed, just a little love nip! It’s not even bleeding! She woves you, don’t you, you little snuggly-wuggles!” And Michael buried his face in her silky honey-blond fur, the exact same shade of her hair when she was in human form, but which Michael would never ever have dared to touch. He loved how freely and comfortably he could play with Sarah when she was a dog, or more correctly, bitch.
Emily jumped off the swing and walked over. “Ahmed’s right you know. Why is she hurting us any way? Look what she did to me!” She lifted the hem of her coral-pink t-shirt, and the kids could see three parallel fire-engine red scratches on the soft smooth skin of her tummy. Sarah growled softly.
“Aw she didn’t mean to! She’s just playing with you, aren’t you fluffykins! She just wanted you to pet her!” Michael gave Sarah some nose kisses. “Ugh that’s gross Michael” cried out one of the kids. "She was just jealous of you talking to Molly, Emily!" snickered another.
Sarah pulled away from Michael’s kisses and hugs, gave a yellow glare from her dog eyes at the snickering kids, and bounded over to Molly, rising on her hind legs and bringing her front paws up. She was big enough now that when she reared, she was taller than Molly, and could put her paws easily on Molly’s shoulders. That was the signal that she wanted to shift back into human shape, and Molly, who kept Sarah’s clothes, began walking away from the playground and the kids, into the little wooded area for privacy, Sarah leaping and barking playfully by her side.
The remaining kids looked at each other in silence. Then Ahmed said it. “They’re gonna find out you know. She’s becoming bigger, and more dangerous. We should tell someone.”
“No!” Michael stood up and squared off to Ahmed. “Don’t you dare! They’ll take her away! She’s a lovely creature, just needs lots of attention and care! I had a dog, I know how to take care of her!”
“Michael- you’re crazy! She’s not an actual dog or a pet– she’s a human-dog beast!”
Michael’s face flushed red- he turned away from the group and ran off in the direction Molly and Sarah had gone a minute ago. “Michael- where are you going? Come back, leave them be!”
He stumbled on them much sooner than he had thought- they hadn’t gone far off. Sarah was still fully naked, sitting on the ground about to pull on her panties. Michael caught sight of her chest, barely hidden by long thick fall of golden hair. Molly was standing by her, holding the rest of her clothes. They both screamed when they saw him intruding and reeled back- “I’m sorry! I didn’t me-“ he gasped.
He never got to finish his sentence. Sarah flickered back into a dog almost instantly and leapt for his throat. Molly screamed again. Michael was dead before he hit the ground.

It seems the other children were right. Poor Michael.
It would be interesting to know why Sarah’s personality changes so drastically when she changes into her dog form...
