《The Pig and the Frog》SIXTEEN
Advertisement
I have my hands out the window of the rental car we got. We don't know where we are going, but in the moment, who cares. She grew up too fast. They would always say.
But being grown up means you see the truth in the world. And you get what you want. Well, you know how to get it.
We've been gone for about a month. I think. We weren't going anywhere in life, so we left it all behind. We can start over.
We can be mended. We mend each other.
"Where to next?" I ask, we are traveling the country. There's so many places. So many sights. "Can we visit some friends, ones I made in Washington?"
He smiles a lot. "I have friends there too. Let's go there." I grab his hand, and give it a squeeze, as we ride in silence for who knows how long.
My eyes drift off for a while, relaxed more than I ever have been. And once I wake up, we are already in Oregon. So many trees, lakes, and big rigs.
So many big rigs. We pass Crater Lake, Tobias getting a little nervous from the heights.
He doesn't push me like anyone else did. He's patient. And I say something I never thought I was capable of saying.
"Tobias..." I pause a little, and he looks at me for a second. "I...I love you." I see the grin on his face, and he squeezes my hand.
"I love you too Tris." He has always said it to me, but I could never find myself saying it back. I was always at a loss for words.
"Hey Trissy?" I look over at a still smiling Tobias, his eyes on the road still. I roll my eyes at the nickname.
"Yah?" I look at him, my hair blowing in my face now. I move it from my face.
"What do you want to be now?" I give him a confused face. "Like a job?"
I raise an eyebrow, and smile, remembering the last conversation we had before I left. "I still want to be a frog."
He looks at me and smiles, also remembering.
"And I still want to be a pig."

Empress' Evolution
The bright red light of the flames swallowed her vision but soon that red light transformed into a blue hue and she was dragged into that light. ‘What’s happening?’ It was too bright and she was forced to close her eyes, she was blinded — even though she was already dead. After being pulled into the light she began to feel annoyed as her skin was irritated by some kind of rough sand. By the time she opened her eyes. She could see the full view of the sky. It was blue and there were clouds scattered about. ‘Ugh, is this Hell?’ She stated as she rubbed her head with her fluffy and furry ‘hand’. ‘Furry?’ She looked at her ‘hands’ and her mouth opened wide. Her hands had become soft and fluffy paws of a white-furred beast with purple spots. ‘What the hell?’ She touched her face with her paws and confirmed that it too did not belong to a human. Below, she felt something was moving, she can tell as if it was another limb connected to her. ‘Don’t tell me!’ Turning her head around, she found a seven-inch tail sticking out behind. ‘Phew!’ She felt relieved that it wasn’t what she thought it was. “These soft and paws, this cuddly fluffy hair, this cute tail — ah shit, did I become a beast after my death or have I been dreaming of being human as a beast all this time? If it is the latter that is one long and realistic dream.” === [It’s the former, stupid *] === Said a woman’s voice from in her head. === As always thank you for reading, also the image in the cover is not mine, I found it on Pinterest and thought it was cool and suitable. All credits got to the illustrator. Also, this is a new type of story that I have not read about yet. Basically I am writing an evolution novel without prior knowledge so I don't really know what is considered cliche in this genre.
