It turned out Bennetville was home to an experimental lab, unknown to nearly every town member. That lab had been experimenting on various animal DNA, intending to cure disease and other beneficial effects.
The unthinkable happened one day when a group of animal rights activists raided the facility, intent on destroying any and all source of suffering the lab had been doing to the animals inside.
When this happened, in the skirmish a vat of chemicals was spilled over much of their equipment and an explosion occurred. A large gas cloud erupted from the facility and enveloped the entirety of Bennetville, then the US, and then the world. The explosion grew to impossible sizes, a foul unseen consequence of the protester's and scientist's activities.
In the hours following the explosion everyone on the planet began changing, everyone in the city growing animal parts and having many of the body parts they already had twist and morph into animal ones.
The changes didn't discriminate between anything. Male or female, young or old, land or water. A man gained a mare's body below his waist, turning him into a centaur that was male above and mare below. A woman gained a dolphin's lower half, appearing much like a smooth grey mermaid. Her change would be much more majestic if the dolphin hadn't been male. One man even had a cow's udder at his crotch, sitting uncomfortably on top of his penis that was still there.
Two questions remain. Is anyone aware they've been changed, and what happened to Jamie Trevor?
