The Stories Of Gretchen Baloney

Chapter Three

I dash out of the house, eyes full of dreams and feet bare. I do a little dancey dance as I rush down the street. I glance to the side only to see a ginormous cow barreling towards me. It unhinges its jaw and sinks its large flat teeth into my skull. I giggle as a tickle its tummy and kick it off. The cow snarls at me before returning to its field. I cackle at him, his name is Jassatuttious. He plays with me every morning, but he's never bitten me before. Maybe he's just in a mood today. I continue walking as the blood begins dripping down into my eyes, making it hard to see. Wait. I pause for a moment, thinking hard. I feel a puff of smoke waft out of my ear. The gears in my head turn. Jassatuttious... he had.. Mad cow disease!! That means I'm infected... I feel the transformation begin.
