100 Words: After the Proposal

I want to show you how my body transforms, why we cannot spend every night together, why I sometimes sport bruises and cuts, why I often run out on you during films or halfway through dinner.  Why I’ve never let you down here.

Take the keys, do not let me out of this cage.  Once changed this will be easy but as it starts I will call out in pain and the animal inside will try to persuade you before I lose my speech.

I’m sorry, but if you want to marry me you must know everything about your wife.  


Written for the 100 Word Challenge on Thin Spiral Notebook; the prompt was the word, Transform.
