Steve's birthday was October 24th, a week before Halloween. He was turning 18 this year. For a reason unknown to him at the time, his parents took him to a hotel the day before. Strangely, this was a hotel in their town, so they weren't on vacation or anything.

As he enter the hotel lobby, he saw that his worst fear had come true! There was a Furry Convention currently being held there! Steve hated Furries, probably more than most people. He just wanted those filthy degenerates to burn in Hell for eternity!

However, with big smiles on their faces, his parents insisted on exploring the convention. He whined and explained why that was a bad idea, but they didn't listen. They dragged Steve through that insufferable hellhole. This was starting out to be a lousy birthday.

They checked into a room to stay the night. Right before going to bed, his parents gave him a box, saying he could only open it in the morning. He tried to go to sleep, but the thought of those disgusting Furries haunted his dreams.

When he finally did get to sleep, he was woken up by the feeling of someone nudging him. He opened his eyes to see that it was a Furry! He screamed and ran to wake up his parents, only to see that they weren't in their bed. "Steve, it's okay. We need to tell you something. It's okay to be afraid." said the Furry. Steve just ran out the door and downstairs, before the Furry could finish.

At the lobby, the convention was still being held. All the Furries stared at him, as he stared back. Suddenly, they all approached him. He tried to escape, but he was quickly surround. All the Furries joined paws. They then swayed side-to-side and sang Happy Birthday to him.

Steve went from terrified to confused. Then, his parents came out from behind them all. "Steve, we are very proud of you! I can't believe our baby is 18!" said his mom. His dad gave him the box from earlier, telling that it's almost midnight, so he can open it.

Inside the box was some type of skin suit. In fact, it looked just like him! Steve dropped it, frightened. His parents began peeling their skin off, revealing that they were Furries in disguise the whole time! "That's what you'll have to wear everyday whenever you're around humans." his dad began. "We've been keeping this secret from you for way too long! Hey look! It's midnight. Your metamorphosis should begin right about...........now!"

Then, Steve's entire body was blasted with pain. He felt he felt his feet, snout, ears and spine elongating. His hands began compressing themselves. His eye sockets grew wider.

When the pain subsided, he looked at himself. He had transformed into a Furry! All the other Furries clapped and cheered. "Stop this! Turn me back to normal. I hate this! Please." Steve demanded. "You can never go back to your human form, you'll be this way til the day you die." said his dad.

Steve broke down in tears. He now hated himself. He became to one this he hated. He really wanted to die. "It's okay, sweetie. I know this is different, but you'll get used to it. In fact, you'll learn to love it!" Said his mom, trying to comfort him. All the other Furries tried to comfort him too. None of it worked. He continued to sob at the abomination that he is doomed to live as forever.
