The frog spat water, a big squirt that hit my leather jacket and
dripped harmlessly but still annoyed.
I gritted my teeth. “Look here, you little green puke, you cannot stay in
this fountain.”
Croak. The frog disagreed.
“We’ve had too many complaints.” Like, literally a dozen this morning
alone about this amphibious jerk harassing all the women walking by,
flicking his tongue at them, getting between their feet to peek up their
skirts.
Ribbit.
“I don’t care if you’re cursed. You cannot try and tongue kiss everyone
to try to reverse it. Besides, it won’t work.” Despite decades of living with
the Grimm Effect, some folks still hadn’t read the original stories, which
were more horror than fairytale. “Come here, right this instant.” I used my
sternest voice and pointed to the fountain ledge.
Rather than obey, the frog chose to leap away from me—sproing,
sproing—right in front of a car.
Apparently, he’d not played Frogger before his transformation because
he didn’t manage to avoid the sedan speeding past.
Splat.
The frog got flattened—literally squished into a puddle of green goo—
which then expanded and expanded until a man lay naked on the pavement
groaning, “Argh, I think I’m broken.”
I headed for him and planted my hands on my hips as I huffed, “Next
time, read a damned book. The frog wasn’t cured by a kiss but by the
princess getting peeved and tossing his ass against a wall.”
“I need a doctor,” he complained.
“And pants.” Transformation spells were the worst when broken, as the
person returned disoriented and naked. I put a call in to dispatch. “Frog
problem resolved but the Grimpher”—the name given to a person caught up
in the Grimm Effect—”requires medical assistance.”
“On it,” stated Darren, our guy manning the office phone line.
“What’s going to happen to me?” whined the guy lying on the
pavement.
“Nothing. Lucky for you, while annoying, you didn’t harm anyone
during the course of the curse, and now that it’s broken, you can go back to
your life. That is, once you get those bones set and do some rehab.”
“But what about my princess? I was supposed to get a princess.” He had
the nerve to pout.
