This choice: Hugo wants to go for a walk. • Go Back... All things considered, it really does come as no surprise. After all, if you had suddenly awoken to discover that you had grown to twice your size, you would be extremely excited to go out and show off your new body as well. However, your main concern - aside from the fact that Hugo has apparently defied every single law of science, although you were no expert on that subject, that honor went to one of your friends - Alexander - was that Hugo could perhaps become too excited.
Or, Hugo could perhaps grow bigger.
It's a chilling concept. And for some reason, while you do find the thought terrifying you also find it... oddly exhilarating. The thought that Hugo might keep growing...
Everything, everything about this situation was wrong, just wrong. You cannot even begin to comprehend the emotions you feel when you consider a bigger Hugo. However, you have no more time to consider such a concept as Hugo lets out an almost ludicrously loud bark, bringing you back to reality to find Hugo sitting on his haunches, staring at you, with his thick tail rapidly swinging from side to side behind him.
You let out a deep sigh as you run a hand over your face before you walk into the living room and grab Hugo's collar from the shelf, along with the lead. With both collar and lead in hand, you return to Hugo and crouch down - noting that Hugo is now eye level with you when crouching - as you prepare to take him out. It is then that you encounter your first practical problem with Hugo's increased size.
It is now impossible to wrap the collar around Hugo's thicker neck. You make two more futile attempts before you give up with a frustrated sigh. Hugo cocks his head quizzically at you as you return to the living room and return the collar and lead to their original locations. You then walk back to Hugo and crouch down again.
Although you have already observed that Hugo is at eye level with you while crouching, it is still shocking to see just how big he is now. You take a deep breath to calm yourself, however, as you are perfectly aware that panic and fear in this situation will only make it worse.
"All right, Hugo. We're going out, without your lead, so for the love of God, stay close to me and don't go running off, okay?"
Hugo lets out another bark, turns and trots towards the front door. You have a brief moment of concern as to how Hugo will fit through the door but your concerns are allayed as Hugo demonstrates that he is capable of fitting through just fine.
With that, you grab the keys from the rack next to the door, step through, lock the door behind you and step up next to Hugo.
"Come on boy, let's go."
You both walk off to...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
