An abrupt end to the annual camping trip
Added 2025-04-09 04:16:37 +0000 UTCYou both turned in for the night in your individual pup tents. Normally you'd be sharing one together, but...y'know, the best laid plans...a generation of mice had apparently bedded in the one you used last year and it was full of holes, mildew and worse, so you were left with plan B. It had still been fun walking the trails together and sharing a campfire meal...you doused the fire, said goodnight to her and crawled into your sleeping bag, dreaming of the cuddles denied to you.
You were awakened hours later by loud rustling, tearing, and low moans. You froze up for only an instant before unzipping your tent...was she safe? You had to protect her...
Her tent wasn't where it should've been. Instead, scraps from it littered your campsite...with your heart pounding you leapt outside, calling her name. The sounds halted...you called out for her again, and were answered by only a low groan. You turned toward it...there, in a clearing, in the light of the full moon, was a bear wearing your girlfriend's clothes. A bear with...brunette hair, and a human-like body shape...and some...familiar exposed assets. Its movements seemed half-drunk, as it swung its head toward you, eyes blinking with fear and confusion. Its mouth opened and closed languidly, as if it knew this was how speaking worked, but no words would come out. It groaned inarticulately again, then leaned forward on all fours, and took a lumbering step towards you...
