//------------------------------// // Bonus - An Unpublished Page // Story: The Conversion Bureau : Still Human // by Shader //------------------------------// Forgot to 'Complete' the story, so thought I'd throw up a unused, but already written Page from the book One thing that many ponies fail to understand about New Foals, is that these are not our bodies. No matter how one stretches it, they're simply not. Like driving a car, or motorcycle, or any other vehicle, while it can become second nature, your first nature is still our human body. Like with a pony's magic, a pony's body is completely alien to a human. Four legs instead of two, hooves instead of hands, and all of them with at least one additional limb. So it comes to no surprise that incompatibilities occur. Even now, seven years after the change, I still wake up and attempt to walk upright. I still attempt to grab a glass with my 'hands'. I still attempt to slap insects that land on me. All resulting in a sharp reminder of my situation, usually painful both physically and emotionally. I feel like my own body is a completely separate entity. This also leads to another problem, one that pops up every day, for almost all adult New Foals. Sexual attraction. My mind is human, I grew up admiring the form and shape of the human female, therefore it is understandable that I am attracted to humans. My body is a pony's, affected by such things as smell and touch, therefore it is understandable it is attracted to ponies. So when catching a glimpse of a shapely behind on a mare, I am torn between two polar opposites. It is not a pleasant experience being simultaneously attracted, and repulsed, by the concept of sex. Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoyed my little foray into 1st Person POV.
