Well there's something you don't see every day

It seemed to be strangely devoid of activity, until a clattering, rustling sound drew your attention to a nearby dumpster. Judging by the ringed tail, a raccoon was ransacking the garbage...at least that's what you thought until the creature leapt out, stared at you with a jolt, and froze. It wasn't quite a raccoon...and wasn't quite a woman, either. A bizarre and impossible in-between, looking for all the world like something out of a science fiction horror movie. It...or she...suddenly screeched at you inarticulately, as if trying to communicate something, almost English but not quite. The thing cautiously approached you, sniffing the air...then sniffing your crotch. You grunted in disgust and stepped backward, which seemed to startle her. A sharp pain pierced your hand, and you fell backward into the muddy sludge of the alley. You could hear the pattering of pawed feet fading into the distance, and when you looked up, she was gone. You stood up slowly, bewildered and wondering whether what you'd just experienced had actually happened. You looked down at your hand...it was bleeding from a small puncture wound...and a light dusting of brown fur was slowly spreading outward from around it...
