I had seen him on my hikes often enough, but today I had actually forgotten to even watch for him. That is, until I came around a rock and found myself face to face with him; the most awesome creature in the North American woods, an adult male grizzly bear.
He gave a startled snort and I was close enough to feel his hot breath on my face. The next moment, he reared up onto his hind legs and let loose of a tremendous roar. As I stood frozen by the sight and power of this amazing creature, I could not help but notice the beauty it possessed. I needed him to know that I meant him no harm, so I reached up and touched his chest; knowing that this move could well be my last. With my hand just touching his fur, I could feel the raw power and vibration of his roar move through my body.
Almost immediately his roaring stopped short, and was replaced by a curious gaze. I closed my eyes and could feel his breathing begin to slow and to calm. As I opened my eyes I could see his thick fur had turned more to thick hair of a mans body. It took me a moment to realize that I was no-longer looking into the face of a grizzly bear. Standing in front of me was no longer an actual bear, but a bear made human. Dark hair covered his head and most of his face was hidden behind a full thick beard. His barrel chest and big round belly were covered with a scattering of the same dark brown hair. His thick cock lied limply on of set of large low hanging balls, all of which was surrounded my thick brown hair. Thick thighs and muscled calves completed the image, both covered in the same scattering of hair as the chest and belly.
It slowly dawns on me that my hand is running through the chest hair of this bear of a man. I look up into his face, but am suddenly hit by a feeling of dizziness and I fall back to the ground. Out of the corner of my eye, I see the bear (now back in it's animal form) pulling itself up off of the ground and walking unsteadily on all fours, as it rounds the rock and out of my sight.
Once the dizziness is gone, I get up and head back for the cabin. I run through the events of the last few minutes, finally convincing myself that it was just the heat and that I had fainted and imagined it all.
The daily walks continued, as did the daily sightings of the grizzly bear. Almost always from a distance, but I could tell now that he was actually watching me too. We would stop and watch each other for a few minutes and then move on to continue with our days.
On one of my walks some months later, I was caught in a sudden storm. The rain was coming down hard and cold. It was quickly chilling me to the bone. I picked up my pace and worked my way through the rain, stumbling over roots recently exposed by the rain. Tripping over one, I find myself face down in the mud. As I push myself up, I hear a muffled noise in the distance; the sound of someone or something in distress. I couldn't ignore it, not in this storm.
I leave the path and begin to slowly work my way down the side of the hill, listening for the sound again to know that I am headed in the right direction. When I hear it again, I realize that it is just up ahead of me. I try looking through the rain, and can see the silhouette of the something moving at ground level, about 30 feet away. The closer I get, I realize that it is the grizzly bear. I knew that it was capable of killing me with one swipe of a paw, but I couldn't just leave it there. Besides, I was hoping that he was not too distressed and might possibly recognize me and know that I would not hurt him.
