TF stands for "transformation". "TF moments" are vignettes about people being turned into part-animals (or full animals physically, although not usually mentally, and never spiritually), or youthened or other such things. As always with my work, critique is appreciated.
Warning: Potentially disturbing material follows, but it becomes less disturbing once one gets the 'punch line'. My next one (if any) should be much less weird.
"No non-raptor birds allowed..." the sign began. There were many other restrictions on the following lines, but Niter did not read any further. That line, familiar though it was, was enough to set hir at ease. Shi (although the term didn't quite apply since shi was androgynous rather than hermaphroditic in hir human form) walked through the front door of hir ((See previous note)) apartment building, showing hir badge to Aero, the hawk on duty, in her non-human form, as usual. Next shi passed the the common room, reserved for socializing. Shi didn't spare it a glance... shi just wanted to get home and relax. Bending over slightly (at 4 feet 3 inches his human form was a bit tall for the hall past the common room) shi continued toward hir apartment. Unlocking the narrow door shi a snatch of conversation drifted up to the corridor to hir ears, "Look, I am just saying that guillotining is a perfectly acceptable option for some people.".
Shutting and locking the door behind hir Niter thought, "How perfectly boring."
The room looked very much like a pure human's closet. Clothing hung on a pole a little over a foot from hir nose. Below the clothing was shelf on which a tiny laundry hamper and combination-lock-box for important documents. Below that was Niter's main living area. Putting hir shoes on top of the box and hir clothing in the hamper, shi knelt down and felt the contents of the living area, then misted it a little to get it just right. After checking the vibration alarm display on the side of the living area Shi transformed and burrowed in to her current third favorite tunnel (shi had leaned a little to far forward before transforming, so it was a bothersome 4 inches further travel to get into her favorite one, and shi wasn't in the mood). Soon she was chomping down on supper in comfort.
"Loam Sweet Loam" thought the earthworm as shi thanked God shi had managed to find a spot in such a well secured, and even purpose built, apartment complex.
