sacredeyesF. Medical opinion
Peninnah didn’t often watch TV but she was now as she sat in the Veterinarian’s office waiting for Agatha to get her shots she gazed at the flashing images. The TV ran through a show and then a commercial came on.
“Do you feel self conscious about your appearance? We can help….”
It went on about surgery to fix your flaws. Peninnah watched it and for just a moment she wished she could go there. She would go there and have her feet changed. She could wear shoes then like everyone else. That doctor could take her tail off and the wings. There would be no more need for the coverings. She could dress like everyone else.
Peninnah swung her feet as she sat there. She could feel the fur brushing between her ankles. It depressed her. Why couldn’t she be like everyone else. She wanted someone like the man on the TV with the pretty girl to come and make her normal.
Tears threatened to come. She was an abomination. The mortal part of her wanted to be normal. It wanted normal things that she saw the rest of humanity with. The guardian she was knew that was not possible and could never be. It wasn’t her duty.
“Peninnah. Agatha is ready to go home.”
Peninnah stood and went to the counter where she was reunited with her pup. Many of her fears faded with one happy yip. Many were content without much and she should as well. It would be difficult to be among society, always hiding but she would endure.
