POTATO MOON, Part 40: “An Uncomfortable Situation” by Jason Andrew

potato_moonJakob mooed painfully.

Something was horribly wrong.  He tried to shift forms again, but agony shattered his concentration.  He was nevered that good at focusing his attention, except towards Bela, potatoes, and on occasion heartfelt teenage coming of ages movies he found late at night on Cinemax.

Edwood patted Jakob uncomfortably.  He liked Jakob much better as a werecow.  Something in his eyes reminded him of his great love.  Not the mirror or that spiffy hair gel but Bela.  Sweet Bela of the Cow Eyes.  “The burns will heal.” Jakob mooed again.  How could he tell them that it was his belly and not his back that caused such problems.  It took the wisdom of the Potato King to solve this great dilemma.  “Jakob has been in his bovine form far too long.”

I“Should he change back?”  Edwood asked.

“I suspect that he has a need that must first be taken care of.”

Edwood didn’t like the sound of this.  “A need?”

“A werecow must be milked regularly least their milk turn to a powerful poison and kill it.  Yes, the answer is quiet clear.  Jakob must be milked or he will die.”

Edwood suddenly no longer liked Jakob as a werecow.  The preternatural cow mooed again, clearly in pain.  “Very well.  But we will never speak of it again.  Especially to Bela.  Or those pesky fanfiction writers.”
