Growvember

November 1st

No one knows what caused it. No one really knew what was happening, but a select group of furs on the planet were starting to grow. What was stranger yet, it all started on the same day, November first.

My name's Bryant. I'm your normal anthro bunny with mostly brown fur and a few spots of white here and there. I lived in my own apartment, payed my bills, worked in an office, a basic boring life.

That is until I woke up on November first, only to find things were definitely off. First, my covers weren't covering my whole body in bed. I thought I had just pulled them up too far, or down, but now, the size was the same. The second tell was when I went to get out of bed, and noticed my feet hitting the floor sooner than I expected. And once I stood up, something was definitely off. Everything was lower. Not by a lot, but still.

I was stunned, shocked. I wasn't a short bun, normally six foot. But this was actually pretty exciting! I mean, who would believe someone could grow to almost eight feet tall over night?

That's when it dawned on me one problem.

What was I going to wear to work?!

I could already see my boxers were pretty tight on my lower half. My office clothing would barely fit. I would have to basically call off sick and head to the big and tall store for something for tomorrow.

I picked up my cellphone and dialed, having a bit more trouble with larger fingers before finally getting the number right. After a phew rings, my boss picked up.

"What's wrong Bryant?" The gruff badger's voice came over.

"Sorry Sir, I'm feeling a bit under the weather today, I need to take the day off." I tried to sound a bit hoarse when I talked.

"You too huh? Is there some kind of bug going around?" He snapped back, almost sounding unconvinced.

"I don't know sir. Just not feeling well."

"Fine, so far mostly everyone is showing up. Though, wasn't Mary usually shoulder height to us? I know she worked in the back room out of sight most of the time, but I was looking at her eye to eye today! She seemed pretty shy too." He pondered out loud. Mary was a short shrew that did most of the filing for the company. Had she grown too somehow?

"I can't remember sir, I rarely saw her. But I really need to lay down, my head is feeling really heavy."

"Okay Bryant, rest up. See you tomorrow."

I phewed in relief as we hung up, but now I was really wondering what was going on. Mary had grown too apparently. Could there be more?

Figuring I'd know sooner or later, I grabbed a quick breakfast and found some older sweats in the back of the closet that barely fit and an outdated t-shirt that clung tightly to my chest, and stilled showed off some of my stomach.

Well, I had to make do and headed out the door.

I was shocked when I got to the clothing shop to see it was packed, a lot of furs, some my height, some a few inches shorter, were all looking to find new clothes to fit, along with talk how they just woke up taller than normal.

One bear towered over all of us though, he had to have been at least ten feet tall! The tailors of the store were having a hard time finding something for him, as he was wrapped in a bed sheet.

After getting a few pieces of clothing to fit into, the whole start seeming to be bought out by then, I headed to get some groceries at least.

The same thing was going on. People were talking about how they woke up taller suddenly, for some reason, not knowing what caused it.

I quickly headed home, not wanting to be really dragged into the conversation myself with another random fur.

I finally made some breakfast, larger than normal with my new size, ate, and switched between watching tv and playing video games. It was really weird feeling a smaller controller in my hands.

But late afternoon, my phone rang again. The called ID said it was my girlfriend, Samantha, another bunny.

"Hey hon, have you looked at the news?" She spoke the second I answered.

"No? Why?"

"Turn it on! Quickly! Channel 7!"

I quickly paused my game and flipped on the TV, going to the station, a special report flashing on the screen. The brown horse anchor man peer at the camera.

"A sudden growth wave seems to be sweeping not just the nation, but the world today. Reports are coming in of furs having apparently grown overnight to heights once thought unattainable for their species."

My mind began to race. Worldwide?

"While no cause has been determined yet, researchers are hard at working testing volunteers to find out what is causing them to grow..."

I tuned out after that, my girlfriend starting to talk once more.

"Can you believe it? Some weird growth spurts going on! But...did you...?" She hesitated the last part. I wasn't sure how to respond. Lie? Tell her I was almost eight feet tall? No, she would worry, I would keep it a secret for now.

"No. Not yet anyway. You?"

"Sadly no, I could've used a couple of inches at least though. This sucks. Everyone else got lucky." She sighed.

"Well, maybe it could still happen to you? Heh, maybe you'll grow so huge I get lost in your fur!" I joked.

"You perve. I know EXACTLY where you'd go!" She giggled.

We chatted a bit more before finally hanging up. I couldn't stop thinking though what she would say if she came over and saw. I was tempted to call back and invite her over, but it was already getting late, and I had to sleep for work.

I slapped my forehead as I slipped into bed, forgetting to get another sheet out of the closet to cover myself up in.

Once I was settled in, I stared up at the ceiling a bit wondering how I was going to explain this to my boss tomorrow. Oh well. I guess he'll be in for a big surprise.

He wasn't going to be the only one.
