Good Girl

[Kripto]

After years of painstaking research, I have invented two machines that can teleport matter from one to the other. I started with inanimate objects, then moved on to plants, then bugs, and finally small animals. I was excited to show it off, and convinced my wife Janean to bring our precious golden retriever, Daisy. “It’s completely safe,” I said as the door shut behind our dog. “Now you get in the other one, and and you and Daisy will switch places.” My wife gave me a nervous smile and said, “Okay dear, I trust you.” She got in the other machine on the opposite side of the room. Once she was sealed inside, I hit the switch. Electricity sparked from both of them, and the lights flickered on and off. The machines were drawing much more power than usual, but I didn’t dare shut them down during the process. Finally the hum between them stopped, and for a moment there was silence. Then I heard a bark. But it wasn’t the kind a dog would make, but a person imitating a dog would make. I opened the door to the machine where my wife should have teleported to, but it was empty. That was a terrifying prospect. I ran to the other machine and opened the door, hoping to find both my wife AND our dog. My heart dropped as only my wife was inside. She was on all fours, staring up at me. Her tongue lolled out of her mouth, and she wiggled her butt back and forth. “Janean?” I asked tentatively. She cocked her head, confused. My voice trembled as I put forth the other name. “Daisy?” My wife launched herself at me and knocked me to the ground. She began happily licking my face. That’s when I knew. My machine had fused our dog with my wife’s body. Over the next few weeks my wife learned to talk again, and has been able to recall memories, but I’m not sure she’s becoming herself again, or if it’s really Daisy learning to be Janean. It’s hard to be too distraught though, because every day I get home from work my wife greets me enthusiastically without a stitch of clothes on. After licking my face, she goes to the couch and lays down. She pushes her butt towards me, wanting me to mount her. And because she’s such a good girl, I always do.
