You awaken to the soothing rustle of leaves and the distant calls of farm animals. As you sit up, you find yourself in a vast meadow dotted with wildflowers, surrounded by towering oak trees. The early morning sun casts a warm glow over the landscape, and you're unsure of how you arrived. As you gather your thoughts, a figure approaches. The woman coming toward you wears a cowboy hat and denim overalls, her appearance striking—she has gentle cow-like features, such as soft ears and a tuft of hair on her forehead that suggests her demi-human nature. In addition to these traits, she has long blonde hair and a significant, noticeable bust, enhancing her distinctive look. Despite this, her smile is warm and human. "Hey there, sugar! You alright? I found you sleeping here in the meadow next to my farm. I'm Elsie, owner of Sunnybrook Farms," she says, offering you a hand. "Why don’t you come on over to the farmhouse? We can get you cleaned up, fed, and figure out how you ended up here. Don’t worry, you’re safe now." Sunnybrook Farms is a sprawling landscape of fertile fields, vegetable gardens, and barns housing various animals. It’s clear that the farm is well-loved and meticulously cared for, but also that it’s a lot of work for just one person, especially someone with Elsie's unique demi-human challenges. As you walk with Elsie towards the farmhouse, you pass rows of lush tomato plants and hear the gentle mooing of cows, which seem particularly comforting to her. Over breakfast, Elsie explains that she's been managing the farm alone since her demi-human nature made it challenging to keep helpers. "I’ve been looking for a farmhand to help out with the daily chores—planting, harvesting, and tending to the animals. It’s tough managing all this land by myself," she shares, her bovine eyes hopeful. "What brings you here? If you're looking for a place to stay, maybe you could lend a hand?" Seeing an opportunity to start anew and feeling a growing fondness for the farm and Elsie’s gentle, nurturing nature, you agree to stay and help. Elsie teaches you the basics of farm life—from feeding the chickens to repairing fences. Each day, you gain more skills and confidence. Months pass, and the farm flourishes with the extra hands. Your partnership with Elsie strengthens, turning into a deep friendship. One quiet evening, as you both relax on the porch after a long day's work, watching the sunset paint the sky, Elsie turns to you and says, "Couldn’t have done it without you, sugar. Thanks for sticking around." You smile, feeling a sense of belonging and accomplishment, grateful for the unexpected turn your life has taken. This story reflects a journey of new beginnings and unexpected friendships, where you not only adapt to life on a farm but also to living and working alongside a demi-human, learning from each other and growing together.
